What are the steps that the calculator follows when using fnInt()?
What are the basic steps that the TI-83 calculator follows when using fnInt()? For example, when doing the quadratic formula, you can say this:
Ask and get input from user, store in variable A.
Ask and get input from user, store in variable B.
Ask and get input from user, store in variable C.
Display the opposite of B plus the square root of [B^2-(4*A*C)] and then divide the whole thing by 2*A.
Display the opposite of B minus the square root of [B^2-(4*A*C)] and then divide the whole thing by 2*A.
Pause the screen
Clear variable A.
Clear variable B.
Clear variable C.
Clear the screen.
Stop.
It must be something a TI-83 is capable of doing.
Thank you. I was asking so that I could try to make an Integrals program in my calculator, to compensate for not having a TI-89.

Well, the fnInt( command uses the Gauss-Kronrod quadrature method to numerically approximate an integral. The exact "basic steps" aren't really basic at all, considering that there a lot going on through the processor internally to calculate a certain integrand between two specified values. Such an example of the quadrature can be found in the Wikipedia link in my source.
