Function TDELTA

Function TDELTA(T

0

,T

f

) yields the temperature increment T

f

– T

0

. The result is

returned with the same units as T

0

, if any. Otherwise, it returns simply the

difference in numbers. For example,

The purpose of this function is to facilitate the calculation of temperature
differences given temperatures in different units. Otherwise, it’s simply
calculates a subtraction, e.g.,

Function TINC

Function TINC(T

0

,

∆T) calculates T

0

+DT. The operation of this function is similar

to that of function TDELTA in the sense that it returns a result in the units of T

0

.

Otherwise, it returns a simple addition of values, e.g.,


Defining and using functions

Users can define their own functions by using the DEF command available
thought the keystroke sequence „à (associated with the 2 key). The
function must be entered in the following format:

Function_name(arguments) = expression_containing_arguments


For example, we could define a simple functionH(x) = ln(x+1) + exp(-x).
