[. . . ] The transparency master showing the Equation Operating System (EOS TM) demonstrates the order in which the TI-30X S completes calculations. Use D E to change the order of operations and, therefore, change the result. Example: 1 + 2 x 3 = 7 (1 + 2) x 3 = 9

Notes
The examples on the transparency masters assume all default settings. If you do not enter a value, 0 is assumed, and Ans will appear in the display. Press < to place the contents of K at the end of the expression and evaluate it. The result is stored in Ans, which is displayed, and the constant is used to evaluate the new expression.

Decimals and Decimal Places
Keys
1. % , displays the following menu, which lets you set the number of decimal places.

Notes
The examples on the transparency masters assume all default settings. % , 8 removes the setting and returns to standard notation (floating decimal). The FIX setting affects all decimal results and the mantissa of scientific and engineering notation results. The TI-30X S automatically rounds the result to the number of decimal places selected. For example, when the decimal is set to 2 places, 0. 147 becomes 0. 15 when you press <. The TI-30X S also rounds or pads resulting values with trailing zeros to fit the selected setting. For example, when the decimal is set to 5 places, 0. 147 becomes 0. 14700 when you press <. All results are displayed to the FIX setting until you clear the setting by either pressing % , 8 or selecting F(floating) on the decimal notation menu. After pressing % , , you can select the number of decimal places in 2 ways: Press !or " to move to the number of decimal places you want, and then press <, or Press the number key that corresponds to the number of decimal places you want. 1 2 FIX affects only the results, not the entry.
