The transparency master showing the Equation Operating System (EOS) demonstrates the order in which the TI-34 completes calculations. Use D E to change the order of operations and, therefore, change the result.

Enter the operation (any combination of numbers, operators, or menu items and their arguments). The TI-34 automatically calculates the result and displays the counter on the left side of the result line. (You do not have to press <. ) You can set the TI-34 to display only the counter and the result (excluding the entry). Repeat to toggle this setting off. 1 2 1999 TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED TI-34 : A Guide for Teachers 51 Addition as "counting on" There are 4 frogs in a pond.
