Casio FX 83 ES Calculator

Product Information

k Inputting with Math Format When inputting with Math format, you can input and display fractions and some functions using the same format as they appear in your textbook. Important! • Certain types of expressions can cause the height of a calculation formula to be greater than one display line. The maximum allowable height of a calculation formula is two display screens (31 dots × 2). Further input will become impossible if the height of the calculation you are inputting exceeds the allowable limit. Example 2: sin (60) = MATH ' 3 2 (Angle Unit: Deg) Math s60= Example 3: sin–1 (0.5) = MATH 1 π 6 (Angle Unit: Rad) Math 1s(sin–1)0.5= • The following are the calculations for which ' form (form that includes ' within irrational number display) results can be displayed. a. Arithmetic calculations of values with square root symbol ('), x2, x3, x–1 b. With its compact and lightweight design, the FX-83ES is highly portable, making it ideal for students and professionals on the go. It comes with a protective hard case, ensuring that it remains safe and secure during transportation. Sexagesimal Calculations • Performing the following types of sexagesimal calculations produces a sexagesimal result. - Addition or subtraction of two sexagesimal values - Multiplication or division of a sexagesimal value and a decimal value Appendix <#012> 2°20´30˝ + 39´30˝ = 3°00´00˝ Converting Values between Sexagesimal and Decimal Pressing e while a calculation result is displayed toggles the value between sexagesimal and decimal. Appendix <#013> Convert 2.255 to its sexagesimal equivalent.

k Power Functions and Power Root Functions '( X2, X3, X–1, X With Math format, you can only use the insert mode. Pressing 1Y(INS) when the Math format is selected does not switch to the overwrite mode. See “Incorporating a Value into a Function” for more information. • The calculator automatically changes to the insert mode whenever you change the input/output format from Linear to Math.

Using Calculator Memory Memory Name Description Answer Memory Stores the last calculation result obtained. Independent Memory Calculation results can be added to or subtracted from independent memory. The “M” display indicator indicates data in independent memory. Variables Six variables named A, B, C, D, X, and Y can be used for storage of individual values. This section uses the COMP Mode (N1) to demonstrate how you can use memory. Displaying a Long Expression The display can show up to 14 characters at a time. Inputting the 15th character causes the expression to shift to the left. At this time, the ] indicator appears to the left of the expression, indicating that it runs off the left side of the screen. Input expression: 1111 + 2222 + 3333 + 444 Math Displayed portion: Cursor • When the ] indicator is displayed, you can scroll left and view the hidden part by pressing the d key.Calculation Examples Using Independent Memory • If the “M” indicator is on the display, perform the procedure under “Clearing Independent Memory” before performing this example. Example: 23 + 9 = 32 23+9m 53 – 6 = 47 53-6m –)45 × 2 = 90 45*21m(M–) 99 ÷ 3 = 33 99/3m (Total) 22 tm(M) Clearing Independent Memory Press01t(STO)m. This clears independent memory and causes the “M” indicator to disappear from the display. If you have a Casio fx-83ES that is no longer working, you can first try replacing the AAA battery. If that doesn't solve the problem, then you can consider replacing the calculator with a modern equivalent. The A-level models have additional functions such as solving quadratics and simultaneous equations which can be useful at GCSE too, as well as Statistics functions that you don’t need until A-level. So if there’s any chance of you continuing with Maths beyond GCSE then it’s a worthwhile investment. (You’ll probably need it if you do Core Maths too, though it does depend on which board and which modules you study. It – or an equivalent – is certainly required for the Statistical Techniques option on the AQA spec.) Function Calculations This section explains how to use the calculator’s built-in functions. The functions available to you depends on the calculation mode you are in. The explanations in this section are mainly about the functions that are available in all calculation modes. All of the examples in this section show operation in the COMP Mode (N1). • Certain function calculations may take some time to display calculation results.

k Converting an Input Value to the Calculator’s Default Angle Unit After inputting a value, press 1G(DRG') to display the angle unit specification menu shown below. Press the number key that corresponds to the angle unit of the input value. The calculator will automatically convert it to the calculator’s default angle unit. Example: To convert the following values to degrees: π radians = 90°, 50 grads = 45° 2 The following procedure assumes that the calculator’s default angle unit is degrees. For GCSE Maths, you will need a scientific calculator, but just about any model will do; see AQA’s guidance below for a list of the functions you need. Schools should be telling you to get the CW now since that’s the current model, but some haven’t caught up yet and are still telling students to buy the GTX – which is now hard to get hold of new at a reasonable price. The same thing happened when the GTX replaced the GT Plus. The Casio fx-83ES is a scientific calculator with 10 digits precision and formula input logic. It has 249 functions, 50 keys, and an LCD (liquid crystal) display. The power source is AAA batteries. The calculator was manufactured in China. Math e+1 Example 2: To input 1 + ' 2+3 MATH Math 1+!2 Math e+3 Example 3: To input (1 + 2 2 ) ×2= 5 MATH Math (1+'2c5e) w*2= • When you press = and obtain a calculation result using Math format, part of the expression you input can be cut off as shown in the Example 3 screen shot. If you need to view the entire input expression again, press A and then press e.It’s also worth considering an A-level model, especially if you’re doing the Higher Tier and there’s a possibility that you might continue to study Maths in some form beyond GCSE.

Handling Precautions • Be sure to press the O key before using the calculator for the first time. • Even if the calculator is operating normally, replace the battery at least once every three years (LR44 (GPA76)), two years (R03 (UM-4)), or one year (LR03 (AM4)). A dead battery can leak, causing damage to and malfunction of the calculator. Never leave a dead battery in the calculator. • The battery that comes with this unit discharges slightly during shipment and storage.k About the Display Your calculator has a 31-dot × 96-dot LCD screen. Example: Input expression Calculation result { k Display Indicators Sample Display: This indicator: STAT Means this: S The keypad has been shifted by pressing the 1 key. The keypad will unshift and this indicator will disappear when you press a key. A The alpha input mode has been entered by pressing the S key. The alpha input mode will be exited and this indicator will disappear when you press a key.
