My passion is to help EVERYONE readily “get” and have confidence in their ability to do math.

Using TInspire CAS as a Tool enables students struggling with math to succeed; hard working students to shine; and gifted students to increase their understanding and problem solving skills.

Attached you will find the MyDocument.zip file that contains a complete set of ‘tns’ files for my Kindle eBook, TInspire Guide Algebra Fundamentals, and the addendum I wrote for my Graphing Calculator Tutorial, published by Cengage. Hope that using the emulators, TI handheld, accompanying Window/Mac software or iPad app you find the files and associated libraries useful.

Use the following three steps to maximize your use of TInspire CAS as a tool. See the versatility of all the emulators by how they deliver the wide range of files and libraries found in the included MyDocument.zip file.
  • Access the tool anywhere. Use the TInspire CAS handheld, included Windows or Mac TInspire CAS software, TInspire CAS iPad app or SpiroH’s nspiroid and karmTI emulators, or open source firebird emulator. Emulators allows Android tablets, Android phones, additional Windows options plus iPhone and Macs to be used. SpiroH’s nspiroid emulator for Android devices, karmTI emulator for windows and open source firebird emulator for all platforms are discussed in different threads.
  • Step-by-step traditional and TInspire solutions. Use the Kindle’s TInspire Guide Algebra Fundamentals eBook and/or accompanying YouTube videos on your phone, tablet, and Windows /Mac /Chromebook computer to fill the gap between traditional and automated solutions. Free two chapter sample of the Guide and the complete set of the Guide’s YouTube videos can be found at ComputerLearningService website. All the Guide’s files and libraries are included in the MyDocument.zip file.
  • Practice, Practice, Practice. Use the MyDocuments.zip BCAddendum TInspire ‘tns’ chapter files and MyDocuments.zip MyLib library files to assist you with a review of algebra and Finite Math instruction (Finite Math instruction being Algebra and Statistic applications). The BCAddendum is based on the Interactive Skill Builder CD Graphing Calculator Tutorial for Tan’s series of textbooks for the Management, Life, and Social Sciences. Study these problems and their solutions to see how to use CAS as a tool in assisting with traditional manual solutions.
BCAddendum files for the TInspire were built to be self-contained so they can be referenced anywhere at any time on any TInspire CAS device or emulator without needing the CD or its textbook.

TI-Nspire / kArmTI - OS 4.2 SP3 and Asus 100
« on: March 18, 2016, 11:08:58 am »
Thanks SpiroH for verifying the files on OS 4,2.

The Surface Pro 3, I5, and Asus Tab 100, Atom, both still have problems under Windows 10 with multiple files, changing directories, and occasionally with saving files. The problem is that the USB Exploxer becomes unusable until I reboot. They both have the solid state memory instead of traditional hard drives. From console I get the message, "USBLink timed out (45 secs)". If I set Emu to Show Speed and Increase Speed one or two clicks the problems seem to occur only occasionally and makes OS 4.2 somewhat usable. However, I did when creating a note page once get a run away cursor. This was at the two clicks faster speed.

Here is a special version of MyDocuments.zip: MyDocuments4.zip. The AMChx.tns files found in the BCAendum directory and associated MyLib functions and programs can help with Algeba, Algebra 2, College Algebra, PreCalculus, and Finite Math courses. You can use ComputerLearningService.com for future updates.

AMch6.tns, AMch6a.tns have files on Linear Programming and use of my global function pivmat for Simplex solution of complex problems. AMch7.tns makes use of Note pages using images for Venn diagrams.

PS When I use OS 3.3 it is way faster and hardly ever has any problems even with my large files.

EDit: just added more images and OS 3.3 on Asus Tab 100 gave me USB Timed out no matter how many times I increased speed. Moved over to Surface Pro 3 and with Speed increased to 143% was able to save from TI to computer. See file AMch7.tns Tabs 10.1,10.2. 10.3.

Edit 3/29/2016 Just completed all of Chapter 7. Contains Sets, Set Operation, Probability and Rules of Probability. Uses Venn Diagrams, Trees, and Tables. All of these plus all of the other files is included with MyDocuments5.zip

TI-Nspire / Re: kArmTI - TI-Nspire emulator with skin
« on: February 23, 2016, 07:05:43 pm »
Using OS4.2 with kArmTI v1.81 and 1,80. Was able to move files both ways with USB Exploxer. Multiple files up at once caused to lockup with both versions. Changing directories in computer view also locked up.

In OS 4.2 I was able to use new ctrl menus with expressions and add sliders by leaving constants in equations. OS 3.3 was able to read new OS 4.2 files with message and resave without message. OS 3.3 never locked up with above situations. Did need to press Home with OS 3.3 to wake up periodically.

Here is an update to earlier post of MyDocuments.zip: Updated MyDocuments2.zip. Main feature Added AMch2.tns, AMch3.tns AMch4.tns plus supporting Library files. See ReleaseHistory,pdf (contained in MyDocuments2.zip) for other changes and additions. AMch2.tns - Functions and Their Graphs. AMch3.tns - Exponential and Logarithmic Functions, AMch4.tns Math of Finance. Can alway use ComputerLearningService.com for latest version. Renamed here as MyDocuments2.zip.

Edit: Updated MyDocuments2.zip to MyDocuments3.zip. Main feature, added AMch5 to BCAddendum directory. AMCh5 covers Systems of Linear Equations: Unique, Undetermined, Overdetermined  solutiions. Gauss-Jordan, Matrix Inversions solutions, Matrix operations including automated, plus using row operations, and Global routine 'pivmat' that we wrote. 2-D and 3-D graphing of solutions. Emphasis on Unique, Infinite, and No solutions problems and appplications.

TI-Nspire / Preparing new Flash OS’s for kArmTI and Nspiriod
« on: January 31, 2016, 07:58:02 pm »
I decided to make my ebook, TI-Nspire Guide Algebra Fundamentals, document and library files plus all the TI-Nspire addendum, Brooks/Cole Math Tool Guide, document and library files part of a new TI-OS flash file. The addendum is in the process of being converted so I sat up a downloadable link at my website, ComputerLearningService.com that will always have the latest version of the addendum documents and libraries plus the complete eBooks files. I include some Bonus documents and libraries I have found very useful in this zip file as well.

In the process I discovered that TI-OS 3.3 allowed newer and older versions of ‘tns’ files to be read where TI-OS 3.1 did not  allow newer to be read. In 3.3 newer versions 3.6 and up had the same warning Dialog as 3.1 but let the file be loaded. I could then resave it as TI-OS 3.3 which had side benefits of no warning plus loading into 3.1 and higher OS’s.

Loading all files each time as startup would be a pain for both the kArmTI and nspiroid so I loaded into 3.3 and save the hybrid OS as a flash file. I used the kArmTI USB Explorer to save physical copies to my Windows 10 machine. The physical copies loaded into flash OS’s like 3.6, 3.9, and 4.0 worked as well with the caveat that they would not load in 3.1 and in 3.3 with a warning. With nspiroid the USB Explorer would not upload saved files unless I was using 3.3 or 3.1.
 
The attached keyboard on the kArmTI came in handy. The hybrid flash when done works in both kArmTI and nspiroid emulators. The big nspiroid tablet is a great one on one teaching aid. Click on the ComputerLearningService.com above for details of initial loading of documents and libraries. Once done use save flash or save as flash. Now set the emulator to load the hybrid flash.

The screenshot is from nspiroid emulator with a popup android window of file from the Brooks/Cole Math Tool Guide. Should note the flash 4.0 shown in the screenshot was made with kArmTI. As noted earlier reloading save files from USB Explorer would not work and you should use OS 3.3 or 3.1 for nspiroid with my recommendation being 3.3 as it works and reads high OS files.

Edit 1: MyDocuments1.zip: Updated MyDocuments.zip. Main feature Added AMch2.tns and AMch3.tns plus supporting Library files. See ReleaseHistory,pdf (contained in MyDocuments1.zip) for other changes and additions. AMch2.tns - Functions and Their Graphs. AMch3.tns - Exponential and Logarithmic Functions. Can alway use ComputerLearningService.com for latest version. Renamed here as MyDocuments1.zip.

TI-Nspire / kArmTI - TI-Nspire emulator Producing Universal Files
« on: January 19, 2016, 01:04:24 am »
kArmTI current version 1.80 was used to produce Chapter 1 TI-Nspire CAS addendum files for the Brooks/Cole Math Tools Guide. They are included as attachments. I authored the 15 Chapter Math Tool Guide, located on Cengage/Thompson Interactive Video Skillbuilder CD. The Math Tool Guide covers the earlier TI graphing calculators. Sample page shown in the screenshot below.

kArmTI was used so that TI-Nspire CAS devices with TI OS 3.1 and higher can be added to the Guide’s tools. kArmTI allowed me to make TI-Nspire CAS addendum files available to devices that have not been updated to the later TI OS’s. Version 1.80 worked very well in the process.

The addendum files include comments so they can be used by themselves as well. You might want to look at them. For tabs 8.1 and 9.x the library attachment file, clsAlgebra.tns, needs to be added to the library and refreshed. My current  eBook, Ti-Nspire Guide to Algebra Fundamentals, cover global libraries and is dedicated specifically to both Ti-Nspire handheld CAS and non-CAS plus both TI-Nspire iPad versions.

Additional addendum files will be produced for the other chapters of the Brooks/Cole Math Tool Guide.

TI-Nspire / Re: New TI-Nspire emulator: Firebird Emu
« on: January 10, 2016, 09:56:54 am »
Thanks for the upcoming fix.

Here is a screenshot of the Android version loaded with my customized version of rom containing my Library functions and programs made from the Window version. File Transfer is not yet available for Android? Keys labels with question marks here as well.

Is there a way to add a setting to set default screen size to full keypad using the vertical size of the tablet/phone with the horizontal size not taking up the full window. This would eliminate need for scrolling keypad on larger size tablets/phones where lcd size could be shrunk without a negative affect.

The "-platform windows:dpiawareness=0" works. The others are too small. See screenshot. The cmd prompts can be seen in the background.

I flashed an update to ROM that I made from TI 4.0.0 2.3.5 OS. Set Handheld Setup Power Standby to 30 minutes and added my Library Functions and Programs before flashing. Shown on screenshot.

See my website for free Library tns downloads and free YouTube videos that explain the Library tns files.

TI-Nspire / Re: New TI-Nspire emulator: Surface Pro 3
« on: January 09, 2016, 07:38:40 am »
Is there anyway to have the lcd display and keyboard have size options. On the Surface Pro 3 screen of 2160 by 1440 both are too small. The Asus Tab 100 screen of 1366 by 768 they are just right. Even using the SPro 3 display maximum magnification the lcd display and keyboard are too small.

Good news: Version 1.20  works perfectly on my Samsung Note Tab and my FireTV. Still problem with Nexus Player use of Content Menu but OK since I got it to work with rooted FireTV. Used CPU-Z to see FireTV arm processor running Android 4.2.2. Connected wireless USB mouse takes place of touch screen on TV screen. Minor issue of FireTV dpi. About 3/4 screen.

Think problem with Nexus Player Atom processor Android 6.0.1 is system/remote has no content key and thus no global content software. Same Content USB key that works on nspiroid FireTV USB keyboard does not work on nspiroid Nexus Player. Nexus Player can not use your content icon either as menu shows and disappears. Not a problem because I can use FireTV with my 50 inch Visio TV. A possible clue for the problem: Kodi software fix since no content menu on the remote was to modify keymap for its data to excute Content Menu for the remote's play/pause key. Content Menu was only item in Kodi specific keymap.

TI-Nspire / Re: Nspiroid - TI-Nspire emulator on Android Nexus Player

Since the Nexus Player uses a TV it has no touch screen. With the bluetooth keyboard unpaired, the accompany Nexus Player remote with a D-Pad can launch but does not work with nspiroid. To get nspiroid to work I use an OTG micro adapter with a hub, universal nano transmitter that use USB wireless logitech K700 keyboard and wireless mouse. Clicking the mouse on the Upper right Icon causes it to flash showing the menu, and disappear with the screen becoming gray. Clicking the mouse again brings back the npsiroid screen. Using the mouse for the touch eveything works except no way to display upper right menu selections.

Notice in the Samsung screenshot below the content menu shown at the bottom of the screen. I got this on the Samsung Note Tab by using a logitech bluetooth keyboard and pressing the content menu key. The same keyboard paired with Nexus Player content's key did nothing. Home, back, and escape keys on logitech bluetooth keyboard do work on Nexus Player. Pressing the content icon in the upper right corner flash the selections and disappeared to an all grey screen.

I need the content menu to load my global routines. Do you have any suggestions? The screen shown on Nexus Player with version 1.17 is only about 3/4 the screen size below but functions correctly except unable to use icon or keyboard method for content menu items. Can work on dpi issues later. Samsung is ARM where Nexus Player is Atom. Maybe that can cause logitech bluetooth keyboard content key to function in ARM and not the Atom.

Nexus Player using Visio 50 in TV.
Content menu on app flashes and screen goes blank. Unable to use Content menu. Other items work.
Content menu from bluetooth keyboard will not work but same bluetooth keyboard on Samsung did.

Used v117 and v118. See screenshots. Happy New Year!
