SCIENTIFIC CALCULATIONS
- Press MODE 0 to select the normal mode.
- In each example, press ON/C to clear the display. If the FIX, SCI, or ENG indicator is displayed, clear the indicator by selecting 'NORM1' from the SET UP menu.
Arithmetic Operations [3]
- The closing parenthesis ☐) just before = or M+ may be omitted.
Constant Calculations [4]
- In constant calculations, the addend becomes a constant. Subtraction and division are performed in the same manner. For multiplication, the multiplicand becomes a constant.
- In the constants calculations, constants will be displayed as K.
Functions [5]
• Refer to the calculation examples of each function.
- Before starting calculations, specify the angular unit.
Random Function
The Random function has four settings for use in the normal or statistics mode. (This function cannot be selected while using the N-Base function.) To generate further random numbers in succession, press ENT. Press ON/C to exit.
- The generated pseudo-random number series is stored in memory Y. Each random number is based on a number series.
[Random Numbers]
A pseudo-random number, with three significant digits from 0 up to 0.999, can be generated by pressing 2ndF RANDOM 0 ENT.
[Random Dice]
To simulate a die-rolling, a random integer between 1 and 6 can be generated by pressing 2ndF RANDOM 1 ENT.
[Random Coin]
To simulate a coin flip, 0 (head) or 1 (tail) can be randomly generated by pressing 2ndF RANDOM 2 ENT.
[Random Integer]
An integer between 0 and 99 can be generated randomly by pressing 2ndF RANDOM 3 ENT.
Angular Unit Conversions [6]

[Temporary memories (A-F, X and Y)]
Press STO and a variable key to store a value in memory.
Press RCL and a variable key to recall a value from the memory. To place a variable in an equation, press ALPHA and a variable key
[Independent memory (M)]
In addition to all the features of temporary memories, a value can be added to or subtracted from an existing memory value.
Press ON/C STO M to clear the independent memory (M).
[Last answer memory (ANS)]
The calculation result obtained by pressing = or any other calculation ending instruction is automatically stored in the last answer memory.
Note:
- Calculation results from the functions indicated below are automatically stored in memories X or Y replacing existing values.
• Random function ..... Y memory
- r, xy ...... X memory (r or x), Y memory (θ or y)
- Use of RCL or ALPHA will recall the value stored in memory using up to 14 digits.
Chain Calculations [8]
- The previous calculation result can be used in the subsequent calculation. However, it cannot be recalled after entering multiple instructions.
- When using postfix functions ( , sin, etc.), a chain calculation is possible even if the previous calculation result is cleared by the use of the ON/C key.
Fraction Calculations [9]
Arithmetic operations and memory calculations can be performed using fractions, and conversion between a decimal number and a fraction.
- If the number of digits to be displayed is greater than 10, the number is converted to and displayed as a decimal number.
Binary, Pental, Octal, Decimal, and Hexadecimal Operations (N-Base) [10]
Conversions can be performed between N-base numbers. The four basic arithmetic operations, calculations with parentheses and memory calculations can also be performed, along with the logical operations AND, OR, NOT, NEG, XOR and XNOR on binary, pental, octal and hexadecimal numbers.
Conversion to each system is performed by the following keys:
2ndF ← BIN (“b” appears.), 2ndF ← PEN (“P” appears.), 2ndF ← OCT (“o” appears.), 2ndF ← HEX (“H” appears.), 2ndF ← DEC (“b”, “P”, “o” and “H” disappear.)
Note: The hexadecimal numbers A - F are entered by pressing , ^x , ^2 , ^3 , , and , and displayed as follows:
$$ \mathsf {A} \rightarrow \mathcal {R}, \mathsf {B} \rightarrow b, \mathsf {C} \rightarrow \mathcal {L}, \mathsf {D} \rightarrow d, \mathsf {E} \rightarrow \mathcal {E}, \mathsf {F} \rightarrow F $$
In the binary, pental, octal, and hexadecimal systems, fractional parts cannot be entered. When a decimal number having a fractional part is converted into a binary, pental, octal, or hexadecimal number, the fractional part will be truncated. Likewise, when the result of a binary, pental, octal, or hexadecimal calculation includes a fractional part, the fractional part will be truncated. In the binary, pental, octal, and hexadecimal systems, negative numbers are displayed as a complement.
Time, Decimal and Sexagesimal Calculations 【11】
Conversion between decimal and sexagesimal numbers can be performed, and, while using sexagesimal numbers, conversion to seconds and minutes notation. The four basic arithmetic operations and memory calculations can be performed using the sexagesimal system. Notation for sexagesimal is as follows:

Calculations Using Physical Constants [13]
See the quick reference card and the English manual reverse side. A constant is recalled by pressing CNST followed by the number of the physical constant designated by a 2-digit number.
The recalled constant appears in the display mode selected with the designated number of decimal places.
Physical constants can be recalled in the normal mode (when not set to binary, pental, octal, or hexadecimal), or statistics mode.
Note: Physical constants and metric conversions are based either on the 2002 CODATA recommended values or 1995 Edition of the “Guide for the Use of the International System of Units (SI)” released by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) or on ISO specifications.

Modify Function [16]
Calculation results are internally obtained in scientific notation with up to 14 digits for the mantissa. However, since calculation results are displayed in the form designated by the display notation and the number of decimal places indicated, the internal calculation result may differ from that shown in the display. By using the modify function, the internal value is converted to match that of the display, so that the displayed value can be used without change in subsequent operations.
STATISTICAL CALCULATIONS [17]
Press MODE 1 to select the statistics mode. The seven statistical calculations listed below can be performed. After selecting the statistics mode, select the desired sub-mode by pressing the number key corresponding to your choice.
To change statistical sub-mode, reselect statistics mode (press MODE 1), then select the required sub-mode.
0 (SD) : Single-variable statistics
1 (LINE) : Linear regression calculation
2 (QUAD) : Quadratic regression calculation
3 (EXP) : Exponential regression calculation
4 (LOG) : Logarithmic regression calculation
5 (PWR) : Power regression calculation
6 (INV) : Inverse regression calculation
The following statistics can be obtained for each statistical calculation (refer to the table below):
Single-variable statistical calculation
Statistics of ① and value of the normal probability function
Linear regression calculation
Statistics of ① and ② and, in addition, estimate of y for a given x (estimate y' ) and estimate of x for a given y (estimate x' )
Exponential regression, Logarithmic regression,
Power regression, and Inverse regression calculation
Statistics of ① and ②. In addition, estimate of y for a given x and estimate of x for a given y. (Since the calculator converts each formula into a linear regression formula before actual calculation takes place, it obtains all statistics, except coefficients a and b, from converted data rather than entered data.)
Quadratic regression calculation
Statistics of ① and ② and coefficients a, b, c in the quadratic regression formula y = a + bx + cx^2 . (For quadratic regression calculations, no correlation coefficient (r) can be obtained.) When there are two x' values, press 2ndF .
When performing calculations using a, b and c, only one numeric value can be held.

Data Entry and Correction [18]
Entered data are kept in memory until 2ndF CA or mode selection. Before entering new data, clear the memory contents.
[Data Entry]
Single-variable data
Data DATA
Data (x,y) frequency DATA (To enter multiples of the same data)
Two-variable data
Data x (x,y) Data y DATA
Data x (x,y) Data y (x,y) frequency DATA (To enter multiples of the same data x and y.)
- Up to 100 data items can be entered. With the single-variable data, a data item without frequency assignment is counted as one data item, while an item assigned with frequency is stored as a set of two data items. With the two-variable data, a set of data items without frequency assignment is counted as two data items, while a set of items assigned with frequency is stored as a set of three data items.
[Data Correction]
Correction prior to pressing DATA immediately after a data entry: Delete incorrect data with ON/C, then enter the correct data.
Correction after pressing DATA:
Use ▲ ▼ to display the data previously entered.
Press ▼ to display data items in ascending (oldest first) order. To reverse the display order to descending (latest first), press the ▲ key.
Each item is displayed with 'Xn=', 'Yn=', or 'Nn=' (n is the sequential number of the data set).
Display the data item to modify, input the correct value, then press DATA. Using (x,y) , you can correct the values of the data set all at once.
- To delete a data set, display an item of the data set to delete, then press 2ndF CD. The data set will be deleted.
- To add a new data set, press ON/C and input the values, then press DATA.
Statistical Calculation Formulas [19]
| Type | Regression formula |
| Linear | y = a + bx |
| Exponential | y = a · e^bx |
| Logarithmic | y = a + b · x |
| Power | y = a · x^b |
| Inverse | y = a + b 1x |
| Quadratic | y = a + bx + cx^2 |
In the statistical calculation formulas, an error will occur when:
- The absolute value of the intermediate result or calculation result is equal to or greater than 1 × 10^100 .
• The denominator is zero. - An attempt is made to take the square root of a negative number.
- No solution exists in the quadratic regression calculation.
Normal Probability Calculations [17] [20]
- P(t), Q(t) , and R(t) will always take positive values, even when t < 0 , because these functions follow the same principle used when solving for an area.
Values for P(t) , Q(t) , and R(t) are given to six decimal places.
COMPLEX NUMBER CALCULATIONS [21]
To carry out addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using complex numbers, press MODE 2 to select the complex number mode.
Results of complex number calculations are expressed in two modes:
① 2ndF →xy: Rectangular coordinate mode (xy appears.)
② 2ndF →rθ: Polar coordinate mode (rθ appears.)
Complex number entry
① Rectangular coordinates
x-coordinate + y-coordinate i or x-coordinate + i y-coordinate
② Polar coordinates
r
r: absolute value : argument
- On selecting another mode, the imaginary part of any complex number stored in the independent memory (M) will be cleared.
- A complex number expressed in rectangular coordinates with the y-value equal to zero, or expressed in polar coordinates with the angle equal to zero, is treated as a real number.
- Press 2ndF MATH 0 to return the complex conjugate of the specified complex number.
ERROR AND CALCULATION RANGES
Errors
An error will occur if an operation exceeds the calculation ranges, or if a mathematically illegal operation is attempted. When an error occurs, pressing (or ) automatically moves the cursor back to the place in the equation where the error occurred. Edit the equation or press ON/C to clear the equation.
Error Codes and Error Types
Syntax error (Error 1):
- An attempt was made to perform an invalid operation.
Ex. 2 2ndF →rθ
Calculation error (Error 2):
- The absolute value of an intermediate or final calculation result equals or exceeds 10^100 .
- An attempt was made to divide by 0 (or an intermediate calculation resulted in zero).
- The calculation ranges were exceeded while performing calculations.
Depth error (Error 3):
- The available number of buffers was exceeded. (There are 10 buffers* for numeric values and 24 buffers for calculation instructions).
*5 buffers in STAT mode and complex number mode.
• Data items exceeded 100 in the statistics mode.
Equation too long (Error 4):
- The equation exceeded its maximum input buffer (142 characters).
An equation must be shorter than 142 characters.
Calculation Ranges
[22]
- Within the ranges specified, this calculator is accurate to ± 1 of the least significant digit of the mantissa. However, a calculation error increases in continuous calculations due to accumulation of each calculation error. (This is the same for y^x, x^- , n! , e^x , ln , etc., where continuous calculations are performed internally.)
Additionally, a calculation error will accumulate and become larger in the vicinity of inflection points and singular points of functions.
• Calculation ranges
± 10^-99 ± 9.9999999999× 10^99 and 0.
If the absolute value of an entry or a final or intermediate result of a calculation is less than 10^-99 , the value is considered to be 0 in calculations and in the display.
