  1. So, I teach high school math and we use numworks graphing calculators. They've been excellent! However, I recently ran across an issue that shows you can't always trust what your calculator says.

    Suppose you want to take the cube root of negative 230. You should get approximately -6.127. It is perfectly fine to take the cube root of a negative number and get a real result. However, if the calculator is in Complex/Cartesian mode for displaying complex numbers, you get approximately 3.063+0.306i. Simply moving the negative sign outside of the radical sign (again, this is just fine to do in high school), you get the correct answer as shown below.

    I wonder what causes this?

  3. Het schooljaar is begonnen, vele middelbarescholieren moeten verplicht een #GrafischeRekenmachine aanschaffen. Gelukkig is er sinds kort een #opensource alternatief voor het TexasInstruments apparaat, de #numworks 🤓 , goedgekeurd door het College voor Toetsen en Examens ✅.

  4. Re previous toot. The #python script pushed over onto the #numworks, I'm planning to indoor fly some balloons at weekend and check what temps I can raise the canopy air too with the heatgun. All good fun.

  5. Tinkering in #python on the #numworks calculator. I've written a script that creates a template for truncated cones. It's useful for #rocket design when creating transitions between different diameter body sections. You can play with script, or download it to your numworks calculator from here my.numworks.com/python/concret although... it would probably happily run on any little python device like a @Raspberry_Pi pico etc. #rocketry

  6. Just knocked up a little video of my early impressions of the #numworks N0120 #calculator I bought the other day! #maths #python

  7. Tinkering writing little #Python scripts for the #numworks .. my classic #rocket parachute/recovery design scripts getting a rewrite!

  8. Been playing with the #Numworks calculator emulator. Plotting mandelbrot etc! I've succumbed and ordered the hardware, should arrive next week!

  9. La calculatrice #NumWorks en version 20.
    Le logiciel officiel de la NumWorks est appelé Epsilon, la première beta de la version 20 vient d'être publiée.
    3 nouvelles icones apparaissent et le tableau périodique des éléments est enfin disponible pour tous ! 1/n

  10. Scientific calculator with open source operating system and python support.

    Wish this would have existed when I went to school.

    A little note: to get that nice formatting I just typed the same input I gave to the plain android calculator. #numworks is awesome!

  13. Dites les mastonautes, l'un d'entre vous aurait un bon plan pour acheter une calculatrice #numworks ?

    Boost et repouets appréciés

  14. if you own a #NumWorks calculator download my grid calc script here workshop.numworks.com/python/l

    … or just play around with it in your browser using the simulator window. example calls are in the comment at the top of the code block
