That’s the 2nd function for the decimal point in the middle of the bottom row. So use that 2nd key and find the format key. So if you’re using fourĭecimal places, and you get to a problem where for some reason you need the 5th and 6th decimal place, you can just go times 100, it’ll move that over, it’ll move the decimal point, but you’ll see those next two digits You’re not changing or rounding anything except what’s in the display. Now the calculator itself is carrying, I forget, seven, eight, nine, digits in its brain, and they’re always there. And that’s usually, I think, adequate for anything you’re going So, my accuracy or my precision, I should say, is to 1/100th of a percent. The reason I do that is if I get a four-place decimal, then I’m getting what? Two places So first off, we want to set the number of decimals. Across the top row, you see it says QUIT, SET, DELETE, Now, there are 2nd functions to a lot of these keys, and you’ll see what’s written over the actual key itself. So, let’s first talk about setting up your calculator. But you need to be familiar with it for the exam. Mostly, we use Excel these days, so they don’t Although, I guess, it could happen if you were using it all the time. And never had trouble with one, never replaced the battery. In terms of functionality, there’s a couple of functions that are on this Professional Edition that aren’t on the other one. Heavier, has a better feel, and the buttons feel cooler when you press them. So, since I’m a professional, Schweser bought me this one some years back.
Now there’s a plastic one, and then there’s this one called the Professional Edition.
In the SchweserNotes, although we have some for the HP for specific functions, most of our answers and explanations and examples are based on the Texas Instruments calculator. I’ve found over my years of teaching it’s easier for students to use and can catch on to. We really suggest that you get the Texas Instruments calculator. If you are new to the financial calculator or a lot of the functions, Now, if you’re familiar with the HP-12c, and you know how to run it, then there’s no reason for you to watch this, and we’re not really worried about you. One of them is the HP-12c, the Hewlett-Packard, and then there’s an edition to that called the Platinum Edition, I believe, which is essentially the same in functionality. Now, there’s two calculators that are permitted for the CFAĮxam.
In this volume of the Schweser Video Library, we’re going to look at the basic functions and setting up your Texas Instruments Business Analyst II Plus calculator.
