> On Monday, with little fanfare, TI put the new TI-84 operating system on its download website. In "Mathprint" mode you can enter integrals, derivatives, absolute values, and summations as they would appear in a textbook (or on a TI-89). You can do fraction arithmetic in mixed or improper fraction mode. You can enter matrices on the home screen in a natural way. You can access function variables (Y1, Y2, etc.) from a popup menu on the home screen. There are seven new Zoom features to set the graphing screen. There is a "randIntNoRep" option that will pick random integers in a range without repetition. It's like getting an exciting new calculator, but everything you know and possibly love about the TI-84 is still there. In fact, you can still run in "classic" mode if you don't like the math print.
