What is exciting about these algorithms is that for various reasons, TI uses techniques that are not necessarily well-known or frequently used by today's numerical analysis community. I have written the explanations of these algorithms in such a way that high school math teachers as well as bright high school students searching for enrichment may use them.34 p.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
