The 67 returns 1.2692E-04.

Not surprisingly, the error comes from the first pair of terms (REC(POL(theta,r)).

I used DEG mode and all the actual functions as built in the 67 (so, e.g. I used [3] [X^2] rather than [3] [ENTER] [*] ).

So, far more accurate than the TI, but not nearly as good a result for testing the LEDs. Clever, clever those guys were, and no doubt tried a lot of formulas to come up with that result. Cool!

How did you get that result on a 67? I have tried a few times now and always end up with 0
