expressions, converting numbers to fractions, and extracting numerators
and denominators.

finding the length of a curve, finding the minimum and maximum of a function,
and finding Taylor polynomials.
- Manipulation of complex numbers in rectangular or polar form.
- Numbers expressed in floating point, scientific notation, or engineering
notation, or to a fixed number of decimal places, or rounded to a specific
number of decimal places.

- Save pictures of graph or part of graph and databases of graph (small
file which holds graph functions and settings).
- 239*103 graph resolution
- Table (Not available for 3D functions.)
- Setup several functions at a time in a table.
- Control table starting point and increment value, or set table to match
graph window.
- Statistics
- Enter values in graphical data editor
- Edit multiple lists simultaneously.
- Setup calculations between lists. (Example: c1={1,2,3,4} and c2={5,7,8,13};
set formula for c3: c1+c2, to make c3={6,9,11,17})
- Sort all lists based on a key list, so corresponding items in lists
still match up.

- One-variable
- Two-variable
- Exponential
- Linear
- Logarithmic

- Forecast values using regression model
- Create equation using regression model
- Euclidean geometry (Cabri Geometry II)
- Create points, lines, circles, and polygons.
- Perform analytic, transformational, and Euclidean geometric functions.
- Geometric objects are relational, so changing the construction affects
other objects in the construction.
- Take measurements and perform calculations on those measurements.
- Angles measured in degrees or radians.
- Create animations of moving objects.
- Create macros of frequent or useful procedures.
- Display coordinate axis and grid.
- Create a locus of an object moving along a path.
