SCIENTIFIC CALCULATIONS
•Press @ m 0     to select the normal mode.
•In each example, press ª to clear the display. And if the
FIX, SCI, or ENG indicator is displayed, clear the indicator
by pressing @ f  .
Arithmetic Operations (2)
•The  closing  parenthesis  ) = ; just  before   or

Constant Calculations (3)
•In  the constant calculations, the  addend becomes  a con-
stant. Subtraction and division are performed in the same
manner. For multiplication, the multiplicand becomes a con-
stant.
•When  performing  calculations  using  constants,  constants
will be displayed as K.
Functions (4)
•Refer to the operation examples of each function.
•Before starting calculations, specify the angular unit.
•The results of inverse trigonometric functions are displayed

Modify Function (11)
In this calculator, all calculation results are internally obtained
in  scientific  notation  with  up  to  12  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  subse-
quent operations.
STATISTICAL CALCULATIONS

Statistical Calculation Formulas (14)
Refer also to the operation examples sheet.
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 × 10100
.
•the denominator is zero.
•an attempt is made to take the square root of a negative
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  to clear the ª
equation.
Error Codes and Error Types
Syntax error (Error 1):
•An attempt was made to perform an invalid operation.
Ex. 2 @{
Calculation error (Error 2):
•The absolute value of an intermediate or final calculation result
equals or exceeds 10100.
•An attempt was made to divide by 0.
•The calculation ranges were exceeded while performing calcu-
lations.
Depth error (Error 3):
•The  available  number of buffers  was  exceeded.  (There  are  8
buffers*  for  numeric  values  and  16  buffers  for  calculation  in-
structions). *4 buffers in STAT mode.
Equation too long (Error 4):
•The equation exceeded its maximum input buffer (142 charac-
ters). An equation must be shorter than 142 characters.
Calculation Ranges (15)
Refer also to the operation examples sheet.
•Within the ranges specified, this calculator is accurate to ±1
in the least significant digit of the mantissa. When perform-
ing continuous  calculations  (including  chain  calculations),
errors accumulate leading to reduced accuracy.
Time, Decimal and Sexagesimal Calculations (9)
Conversion between decimal and sexagesimal numbers can
be performed. In addition, the four basic arithmetic operations
and  memory  calculations  can  be  carried  out  using  the
sexagesimal system.
Random Numbers
A pseudo-random number with three significant digits can be
generated  by  pressing  .  To  generate  the@ ` =  
next random number, press  . You can perform this func-=
tion in the normal and statistics modes.
•Random numbers use memory Y. Each random number is
generated  on  the  basis  of  the  value  stored  in  memory  Y
(pseudo-random number series).
Angular Unit Conversions (5)
Each time   are pressed, the angular unit changes@ g 
in sequence.
Memory Calculations (6)
This  calculator  has  6  temporary  memories  (A-D,  X  and  Y),
one independent memory (M) and one last answer memory.
Independent memory and temporary memories are only avail-
able in the normal mode.
[Temporary memories (A-D, X and Y)]
A stored value can be recalled as a value or variable for the
use in equations.
•In case you store an infinite decimal in the memory, recall it
as a variable to obtain accurate answers.
Ex.) 1 / 3 O Y  (0.3333...is stored to Y)
3 * R Y =   
0.999999999
3 *@KY=    
1.
[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.
[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.  For  this  reason,
when using these functions, be careful with the use of memo-
ries X and Y.
