----------------- TI-68 ALL THE WAY ---------------------- For Complex Numbers the current crop of non-graphing calculators, at least the ones I've tried such as the CASIO fx-911*, TI-36*, HP 35s are all major DISAPPOINTMENTS. The vintage, very reasonably priced (when new) TI-68 (released 1989, discontinued 1997) RUNS CIRCLES around the current generation! So much for progress :( To enter a complex number you simply used a parenthesis with a comma. If you wanted to enter it in polar you simply used the handy "angle" key (with the 2nd function key); No need for any clunky mode-switching. It was that simple. If you took square root of -5 you would automatically get (0,5). Simplicity at its best! Likewise, if you took "log"/"ln" of a negative number or arcsin/arccos of a number of magnitude greater than 1 the calculator would AUTOMATICALLY, give you the complex-number answer. No need for special modes! In an exam-environment, not having to drill through menus or fiddle around with special modes was a VERY good thing. Here is the complete list of complex number functions the TI-68 supported: I. Complex Number Arguments: ===== KILLER FEATURES ===== UNIVERSAL POWERS - Both the base and exponent could be complex: e.g. (2,3)^(5,7) UNIVERSAL ROOTS - Both root and radicand can be complex POWER OF NEGATIVE BASE: e.g. (-8.7)^2.9 For Negation use simply used the "-" key. ===== The Usual Suspects ===== addition, subtraction, multiplication real-part, imaginary=part magnitude, angle-part Square/Square-root Reciprocal sin, cos, tan, arccos, arcsin, arctan hyperbolic: sin, cos, tan, arccos, arcsin, arctan log, ln, anti-log, anti-ln II. Automatically returned a complex-number answer if argument was outside the range for a real answer. No special mode required. arcsin, arccos: e.g. arcsin(-3) hyperbolic: arccos, arctan log, ln: e.g. log(-4) square, square root: eg sqrt(-3), sqrt(3,5)
Step 1: Go to "SETUP" Mode by pressing "SHIFT" + "MENU" Step 2: Scroll down and find the option "Complex" and press that Step 3: You could choose between two different formats in there. One is the complex form on option number "1" and another is the angle form on option number "2" PRESS "1" Now see if it helps
great video, after taking up a HNC im Machanical engineering, I found my self in class not having a clue how to use my fx-991Ex for complex number. it wont happen again lol. thanks
Thanks for this...
You saved my exam tomorrow
Thank you a lot for this quick video showing all the options!
Best complex number calculator tutorial ever. thanks for the video.
I just bought my calculator and your tip helpful. Thanks 😊
omg thank you so much this is AMAZING for my a level maths exam, i appreciate you sir 😭
Truly a "Calculator Expert" 😂💪💯
It helped me a lot while preparing for exam thank you
This is superb and clear video
Can you do matrix calculations with complex numbers on it?
Thank you very much!It was very helpful.
The whole botton is not working when i try to right i
Does it calculate matrix with complex numbers?
"To get the modulus, we have to... look for the abs key on the calculator," - nice save dude.
rly covered everything needed, tnx

Appreciated. Could you please show more features of what this calculator can do in various complex math problems? Thank you!!
Very very thank you 🙏🏻❤
I just got this calculator from Target and it's been really wonderful. Just wish it could do exponential forms of complex numbers like e^ix....
Hello! I have an issue, my calculator produces an angle instead once I use complex and “i”. Can someone help :-(
Step 1:
Go to "SETUP" Mode by pressing "SHIFT" + "MENU"
Step 2:
Scroll down and find the option "Complex" and press that
Step 3:
You could choose between two different formats in there. One is the complex form on option number "1" and another is the angle form on option number "2"
PRESS "1"
Now see if it helps
Thanku for this valuable information
Thank you so much for this video!
thx man don't give up
Thanx a lot bro 😸👍🏻
Thank you a lot
can we do conversion from rectangular to complex?
What's with root from complex and logarithm of complex?
Square roots in binomial format does not work?
Nice 👍
how to do it on fx-83gt plus
How solve complex no in squre root ??
very helpful
I tried 4th root of -625.but it always said syntax error why
I don't think it's possible to find the root of a negative number
thank you sir
Thanks a lot sir❤️
thank you man
Thanks
thank you
omg thank you!
great video, after taking up a HNC im Machanical engineering, I found my self in class not having a clue how to use my fx-991Ex for complex number. it wont happen again lol. thanks
thankss
legend
Thanks :')
Doesn't count roots of complex numbers. Root from 9i, gives an error. The answer should be 2.12+2.12i
omg thanks
you are boss
when I press the MENU/SETUP button I only get the first 3 modes, I've tried reset then setup data, it didn't work, what else should I do???
thank you very much
Thanks
Thank you so much
