Bug in MATH ROM of the TI-95
I have been tinkering with the TI-95 and its MATH and STAT ROMs. I discovered that the Newtons Root method (option NTN in option ZRO) has a bug that causes the solution FOR ANY FUNCTION to jump to huge numbers and then overflow. I tested my fx(x)=exp(x)-3*x^2 and fx(x)=x^2-5*x+6 functions and both bombed out. I inserted a pause (PAU) command in my function code to trace the values used by NTN and found that it does the following:
1) Evaluate fx at you initial guess (call it X). 2) Evaluate fx at X plus a small increment. 3) Evaluate fx at X minus a small increment. 4) Evaluate fx at a large number. 5) Repeat step 4 with different large numbers until the calculations overflow. I also noticed that the TI-95 emulator by HrastProgrammer has the same bug in his port of the MATH ROM! I guess his ported the binary image of the MATH ROM. Anyone else out there has seen this bug? The Bisection method in the MATH ROM works fine! Namir |
