Five real TI-84 programs that run right here, on the same pixel-LCD screen the app uses. Press run and answer the prompts yourself.
The first three are things any E-Code account already does. The last two are the upper-level kind that Pro unlocks, shown here so you can see the difference.
What you’d ask“Give me a quick formula card for the quadratic formula, the slope formula, and the distance formula — something I can flip through with a menu during practice.”

Disp "STUDY WELL!"Press run to power on the screen and step through the program.
Pick QUADRATIC, read it, then DONE.
What you’d ask“Take two sides of a triangle and the angle between them, then find the third side with the Law of Cosines.”
Prompt A,B,C "//LAW OF COSINES: SIDES A,B AND INCLUDED ANGLE C IN DEGREES" (C*π/180)→R √(A²+B²-2*A*B*cos(R))→X ClrHome Disp "3RD SIDE:" Disp X
Press run to power on the screen and step through the program.
Try 5, 7, 60 — the third side comes out to about 6.25.
What you’d ask“Build a solver for the ideal gas law that works no matter which variable I'm missing — pressure, volume, moles, or temperature.”

Solve for pressure with V=10, N=1, T=300 — about 2.46 atm.
What you’d ask“Projectile motion — given a launch speed and angle, find the time of flight, the max height, and the range.”
Prompt V,A "//PROJECTILE MOTION: V=LAUNCH SPEED M/S, A=ANGLE DEG, G=9.8 M/S²" (A*π/180)→R (2*V*sin(R)/9.8)→T ((V*sin(R))²/19.6)→H (V²*sin(2*R)/9.8)→X ClrHome Disp "TIME (S):" Disp T Disp "MAX HT (M):" Disp H Disp "RANGE (M):" Disp X
Press run to power on the screen and step through the program.
Try 20 m/s at 30° — about 2.04s flight, 5.10m high, 35.35m range.
What you’d ask“A fluid dynamics program that computes the Reynolds number for pipe flow and tells me if it's laminar, transitional, or turbulent.”
"//REYNOLDS NUMBER: RE=(DENSITY*VELOCITY*DIAMETER)/VISCOSITY" Input "DENSITY?",D Input "VELOC M/S?",V Input "DIAM M?",L Input "VISC PA*S?",U (D*V*L/U)→R ClrHome Disp "RE =" Disp R If R<2300 Then Disp "LAMINAR FLOW" Else If R>4000 Then Disp "TURBULENT" Else Disp "TRANSITIONAL" End End
Press run to power on the screen and step through the program.
Try 1000, 2, 0.05, 0.001 (water) for turbulent, or 900, 0.1, 0.05, 0.01 (oil) for laminar.
