Graphing calculator software

Doober · 09-23-05, 02:04 AM

Hi there. I was wondering if anybody knew of a low-cost/free graphing calculator program for the Axim X50v. With this great screen and ability for 3D graphics, I would like to use that in my Calc. 3 class for plotting equations, remembering formulas, etc. Are there any other college students that can help me? Thank you.

I use Virtual TI Emulator, it emulates a ti graphing camc, download at www.ticalc.org and you have to have a rom, either download from a ti calc that you own, or download the ti-89 one from education.ti.com. WARNING!!!! You should have the calculator, using the rom when you dont have the calc is illegal!

Besides the TI emu, you can also use the HP48/49 emulator made for WM2003, I use this last one because I owned a HP calc during college.
If I have had a PPC in college I´ve definitely had used a Raven-kind calc with my ppc, but never replaced my HP.

Heres a link, its the os download, it will work with it. just put it in the same folder, the first time you use it, i will take longer to start up, be patient and one more thing, i said this once and i will say it again you must have the ti calc or else it is illegal!! oh yeah, i tested the os's from the ti's website and only the ti-89 will work, anything else, you must download manually, there is a tutorial on www.ticalc.org, sorry for the kinda long post good luck and heres the link: ROM: http://education.ti.com/us/product/apps/89os.html Tutorial:http://www.ticalc.org/programming/em...s/romdump.html

There is a version for both the PC and the PPC.

Thanks KSONG12 for providing the link! Looked all over the site but could not seem to find what I was looking for.

I use an HP-49g+ in my university.

I find that when I REALLY need to do serious computations I end up using something Like Matlab.

The only thing i have found that is reasonably close to that is Math Tablet.

The interface is okay, but you really need to read the manual that comes with it to figure out all the options.

For a regular calculator use RDcalc as they mentioned above.

A lot of people prefer emulators, I would LOVE to have an HP-49g+ emulator but the ones currently available are only for the HP-49g and are a bit of a pain to install.
