Hello,
So I never, ever do my math homework. I consider it a waste of time. For a while, my teacher tried using an iron fist, never accepting late work or offering extra credit. And my grades would suck. She would end up getting pissed off though, when I would ace her tests, and thus, avoid failing. However, we have recently struck up a deal. Every TI-Basic math program that I give her will count for one 100% homework assignment - provided they are better than the ones she already has.
With this in mind, I have started writing tons of TI-Basic math programs. And the angle I'm doing in order to surpass the quality of her exisiting ones is this: Extra Detail. What this means is that not only does each program give you the answer, it shows the work as well (or finds some other way of providing extra detail). I have completed a program already for calculating the Cross Product of two vectors that shows all of the work necissary to reach the answer. After finishing this, I started on a triangle solver program, which is about 50% complete. The only problem with these programs is that they take a while - the cross product one was a few hours of work.
Once I get a good number of these done, I'll release them in a bundle (they rely heavily on common subprograms).
