Home screen
On the Home screen, you can enter mathematical
expressions and functions, along with other instructions. The
answers are displayed on the Home screen. The TI-30XS
MultiView screen can display a maximum of four lines with a
maximum of 16 characters per line. For entries and
expressions of more than 16 characters, you can scroll left
and right (!and ") to view the entire entry or expression.
In the MathPrint™ mode, you can enter up to four levels of
consecutive nested functions and expressions, which include
fractions, square roots, exponents with ^, Ê, ex, and 10x.
When you calculatean entry on the Home screen, depending
uponspace,theansweris displayed either directlytotheright

Special indicators may display on the screen to provide
additional information concerning functions or results.
