Couple of prime questions...

[sol740]

Before I go and buy a Prime, I have some questions. I'm using the emulator at the moment but am stuck.

These are me being lazy and testing the device (I can do these on paper fine):

1. If I have an expression a^2+2ab+b^2, with the CAS, how can I manipulate it to (a+b)(a+b)?

2. If I have an expression (a^3+3(a^2)b+3a(b^2)+b^3)/(a+b) how can I force it to evaluate the divisor symbolically and return either of the above?

3. It looks like a reasonable platform for data logging as well. Is there any StreamSmart documentation in context to the Prime? Ideally I'd like it to log temperature (300-400K) every 5 seconds for 2 hours, then be able to do some minor processing on it on the device (fourier analysis, stats)

Any help appreciated

I discounted the TI CX already as the thing is horrid to use.
