ASSUME Use this function to make a hypothesis about a specified
argument or variable.
Example
Typing:
ASSUME(X>Y)
sets an assumption that X is greater than Y. In fact, the
calculator works only with large not strict relations, and
thus ASSUME(X>Y) will actually set the assumption that X
≥ Y. (A message will indicate this when you enter an
ASSUME function.) Note that X
≥ Y will be stored in the
REALASSUME variable. To see the variable, press
, select REALASSUME and press .
UNASSUME Use this function to cancel all previously specified
assumptions about a particular argument or variable.
Example
Typing:
UNASSUME(X)
cancels any assumptions made about X. It returns X in the
Equation Writer. To see the assumptions, press ,
select REALASSUME and press .
