About this booklet…

Welcome to the world of CASIO scientific calculator. In this booklet, you will find some
Mathematics problems of lower secondary till upper secondary level, which were carefully
selected to demonstrate the use of the CASIO fx-570MS scientific calculator. The examples
presented are among those commonly encountered while teaching and learning Mathematics in
the lower and upper secondary in Malaysia.

You will probably know by now that the calculator is a tool that could speed up calculations
efficiently and thus allows you to spend more time in understanding theory and logic of
Mathematics.

It is important to remember that this booklet is not meant to replace the User’s Guide that comes
with your CASIO fx-570MS pack. Do read the User’s Guide carefully before using this booklet.

We sincerely hope that you will enjoy working through the worked examples provided in this
booklet. Having understood the usage of your CASIO fx-570MS scientific calculator, may it
serve you more efficiently and effectively!

About the Author…

QED Education Scientific works to provide many wonderful resources and support to teachers &
students using CASIO scientific calculator. With support from Marco Corporation, the sole

producing supplementary booklets, training manuals, training presentations and comprehensive
professional development programme for in-service teachers using CASIO classroom technology
for the past 3 years. The training arm of the consultancy was involved in the Curriculum
Development Centre’s Graphics Calculator for Mathematics and Science project in 2003.

 INTRODUCTION
Purpose of This Booklet…

This booklet is not intended to replace the fx-570MS User’s Guide, nor any
mathematics reference book. It is written with the aim that users of the powerful fx-
570MS calculator, especially students, can acquire what we called “calculator skills”.
These skills will not be tested in any public examinations. However, we believe having
developed these skills, students’ interest in studying mathematics will be further
enhanced. We believe they would have more fun exploring and investigating new
mathematical ideas and concepts, and we wish to see in future students enjoy doing
mathematics and tackling challenging mathematical problems.
This booklet is also to serve as an extension to our previous work on the equally
interesting CASIO fx-350MS scientific calculator, Exploring Mathematics with CASIO
fx-350MS.

Working With This Booklet…

The booklet is written with the assumption that the user has sufficient secondary
mathematics training. As it is designed for Form 1 to Form 6 students, worked-examples
in this booklet are selected problems from some topics in PMR’s Mathematics, SPM’s
Mathematics and Additional Mathematics, and STPM Mathematics. Appendix 1 is a list
of English ~ Bahasa Malaysia mathematical terminologies used throughout the booklet.
We will be glad to entertain any feedbacks from the readers on this booklet. We
love to hear from you at [email protected]

Support For the Reader…

To capture the essence of mathematics requires one to spend time in

improving and reinforcing the fundamental principles by working through exercises
provided in textbooks and reference books. May this booklet and the wonderful fx-
570MS calculator help you in achieving this.

And the argument is approximately 53.13°

Therefore the complex number z1 + z 2 in polar form is 5∠53.13°
