Getting Started with the TI-Nspire™ CX Handheld

The TI-Nspire™ CX handheld and the TI-Nspire™ CX CAS handheld are the newest

handhelds in the TI-Nspire™ family of products. Featuring a backlit color display and a

slimmer form, the handhelds provide touchpad navigation, dynamic graphing, and

interactive computer features.

The handhelds and the TI-Nspire™ software share the same functionality, enabling you

to transfer class assignments from the handheld to the computer or transfer

documents to the handheld when you need to be mobile. Start assignments at school,

and then finish the work at home to take advantage of the software’s full-color display

and easy-to-use navigation. Use the software to download the latest software and

handheld operating system updates as they become available to ensure you have the

latest enhancements.

This guide covers both the TI-Nspire™ CX handheld and the TI-Nspire™ CX CAS

handheld. While they operate identically in many ways, there are a few distinctions. If

the TI-Nspire™ CX CAS handheld has additional functionality, it is pointed out and the

CAS operation is described.

About CAS

With CAS, or the Computer Algebra System, you can:

• Perform both symbolic and numeric calculations.

• Factor and expand expressions and solve for common denominators.

TI-Nspire™ CAS technology makes it possible to recognize, simplify, and calculate math

expressions, preserving the symbols including variables and terms such as “e” and p.

This ability to enter and view equations and expressions on screen as they appear in

textbooks is especially useful for step-by-step, arithmetic, algebraic, and calculus

calculations.
