If checked, any real number equiv-
alent to an integer in a non-CAS
environment will be converted to
an integer in the CAS. (Real num-
bers not equivalent to integers are
treated as real numbers in CAS
whether or not this option is
selected.)
Simplify Select the level of automatic sim-
plification:
None: do not simplify automati-
cally (use for manual sim-
plification)
Minimum: do basic simplifications
Maximum: always try to simplify
Exact If checked, the calculator is in
exact mode and solutions will be
symbolic. If not checked, the calcu-
lator is in approximate mode and
solutions will be approximate. For
example, 26
n5 yields in
exact mode and 5.2 in approxi-
mate mode.
