Using downloaded aplets

If you press the VIEWS key on your hp 39g+

you will see a list of options which vary

according to which aplet is currently active.

The VIEWS menu for Function is shown right.

Any aplet that has been created by a

programmer, such as the Curve Areas aplet

shown right, will generally have had its VIEWS

menu modified by the person who created it.

The new VIEWS menu is used to control the

aplet, offering a series of choices. Usually the

intention is that you should work through the

choices in the order that they appear. For

example, in the menu shown here you would

need to Choose function before you could use

it to investigate areas under the curve using Lower rect.

Calculator Tip

If there is documentation with an aplet then you should

read it. It often contains information which is needed for

the efficient use of the aplet. It may also have one or more

student worksheets which can be copied and used in a

classroom.

Don’t forget that these programmed aplets

have ‘helper’ programs that are automatically

loaded into the Program Catalog. When

you delete the aplet these are not

automatically deleted. You must change into

the Program Catalog and delete them by

hand. Left undeleted they will simply consume memory. See next page.

If you are a teacher using an hp 39g+ then it is

highly recommend that you investigate

teaching aplets. They can enhance your

teaching greatly and, more importantly, put the

learning process in the hands of the student

where it belongs, by letting them control the

process via their calculator. It is worth reading the information contained in

Appendix A: Teaching Calculus with an hp 39g+ on page 301.
