Blee711 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Can anyone give me a run down of things that I should know how to do on a calculator before the math studies exam? Edited May 13, 2014 by Blee711 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropBoite Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Glad you posted, hopefully other students see this too, there is brilliant textbook by Mal Coad, that is absolutely awesome in this regard, I had the same worries as you did but the text book has step by step help for any calculations related to the section you're currently doing.Link: It's kind of costly if your school library doesn't have it, however amazon has some really cheap used ones: http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-International-Student-Mathematical-Studies/dp/1921500131/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1399965212&sr=8-6&keywords=maths+studies+sl+IB.

insert name here Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 So far our teacher has told us to learn to use the "solver" function for simultaneous equations etc. and graph mode. there's probably more to learn (my exam is next year) but I hope that gives you some idea!

pumpplow Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Chi-Squared test with the matrix, linear regression, finding p and r values, TVM Solver for the money topics, using value tables for graphs - these I can think of now. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitapocket Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Normal distribution / Inverse Normal.Simultaneous equations. Tan cosine and all is a given. Chi square tests Lin RegMean/Median/Mode/Quartiles via the 1-VAR or 2-VAR stats in Stats --> Calc You can literally do everything with your calculator using the tables for function questions like finding max.min, intersection, etc. It's so useful.
