Integration: TI-86 & Casio Algebra 2.0 Plus
Valentin’s excellent set of 2024 PI day examples for vintage HP calculators includes in the 1st example the integral \( \int_{0}^{1} \frac{tan^{-1} tanh^{-1} x}{x} dx \). When attempting this integral on two of my favorite non-hp calculators, the TI-86 and the Casio Algebra 2.0 Plus, I found it interesting that the TI-86 proceeded (albeit slowly) to an answer (screenshot 1) but the Casio Algebra 2.0 Plus gave an “Ma Error” (math error) if either the lower limit was 0 or, independently, if the upper limit was 1 (only one screenshot shown) and it was necessary to back away slightly from both limits of integration (0 and 1, substituting, for example, 0.001 and 0.999) to obtain a result.

My guess is that the Casio “freaked out” (to use technical language :) at the lower integration limit of 0 because of apparent division by 0 and ignored that the integrand approaches a limit of 1 at x=0. My guess for the Casio balking at the upper integration limit of 1 is that it’s a cusp, and ignored that the integrand approaches a limit of \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) at x=1.

I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts about this discrepancy between the numerical integration methods and results for these two calculators. Thanks!

That's just how the TI-86 does things. Big Grin It's a great calculator (maybe TI's best) despite the slowness.

Thanks Dave for your reply and yes, I agree with all the above and appreciate that you once pointed out that the TI-85, rather than being fully replaced by the TI-86, has several unique advantages, including speed.

Now if only I could figure out how to get the Ti85/86 (or the HP48g) to perform numerical integration of a complex function with real limits. Despite the TI85/86's wide range of complex function handling, when I try integrating a complex function between real limits, e.g., \( \int_0^\pi e^{iz}dz \) (which should evaluate to 0+2i, or (0,2) on the TI85/86 as it doesn't have the imaginary i), I get the infamous "ERROR 10 DATA TYPE" message after entering fnInt(e^((0,1)*Z),Z,0,\(\pi\)).

Integrating complex functions may be beyond the limits of what the TI-85/86 can do and is a reason for keeping a TI Voyage200 (or HP50g) handy. While I like the TI-89 keyboard (the only calculator that gives top-level access to the "with" operator |), the small font size, as has often been remarked, renders the TI-89 nearly unusable for older eyes, like mine!.

Thanks Steve, this is very helpful! It’s also very telling that the only two cases of integration hiccups with this composite trig function are both Casio models (Algebra 2.0 & 991EX), yet the Casio CG50 (and also CG500) handle it fine.

For a comparison of digits, here’s Wolfram Alpha’s result: 1.025760510931330450398548660969552795334871856215069394223386844015851920899070​94222678787919779530713296457148872019952569383155579574734512368046551

It looks like the HP Prime’s result is closest to Wolfram’s Alpha’s result. Since this numerical integration is obtained iteratively and the Prime is the fastest of the lot, I wonder if that’s part of the reason the Prime reaches greater accuracy by the time it reports its result.

Very interesting.
I forgot to test Free42 and Plus42.
Free42 (and the DM42) is even more precise than the HP Prime.
Here is the 34-digit result from Free42 (Decimal) and Plus42. The timings were done on an old 2011 Win7 PC and an iPhone 12. Free42 uses an RPN program while Plus42 uses an algebraic equation from its equation list (which makes it run a bit slower).

Free42 (Decimal-Win), 0, 1, (acc=0) 7.5 seconds = 1.025760510931324876159041385002141
Plus42 (Decimal-Win), 0, 1, (acc=0) 8.5 seconds = 1.025760510931324876159041385002141
Free42 (iPhone 12), 0, 1, (acc=0) 3.0 seconds = 1.025760510931324876159041385002141
Plus42 (iPhone 12), 0, 1, (acc=0) 4.0 seconds = 1.025760510931324876159041385002141

The results differ from Wolfram Alpha starting at the 14th decimal place.
1.025760510931330450398548660969552 (Wolfram Alpha)

Impressive. I was always curious whether the high precision Free42 uses in calculations translates into actual precision of results since the choice of algorithms implemented in a calculator also makes a difference. However, this example shows Free 42's high precision is real.

Just to add some 15c results, in the original 2024 pi day thread, C.Ret includes a 15c program and obtained 1.02576051 with Fix 8. I'm away from my 15C CE, but using HP's 15C Iphone app set to Fix 9, the results are: 1.025760511, which agrees with Wolfram Alpha rounded to 9 decimal places.

That is a better approach to the limit extremes required for the lower cost Casios. On the fx-991EX I can only go down to 1*10^-12 for the lower limit and up to 1-1*10^-12 for the upper limit. This produces 1.025760511 after 35 seconds.

Thanks Eddie! I'm surprised by the DM32 result that rounds to 1.02575 whereas Wolfram Alpha and several other calculator results in this thread round to 1.02576. Hence, the above DM32 result appears to be accurate only to 4 decimal places.

From the DM32 manual: "Once the integral is calculated, the estimated uncertainty of the integral’s result is stored in the y-register. To view the value of the uncertainty, press x⇔y."
It would be interesting to know the uncertainty value stored in the y-register for the above DM32 result.

Also from the DM32 manual: "To control the level of accuracy in the integration, adjust the display format to show only the number of digits that are deemed accurate for the integrand’s values. This chosen level of accuracy will also be reflected in the calculated integral result." While it is common to change a calculator's display format (e.g., changing FIX 4 to FIX 7) for greater accuracy, since the above DM32 result is already expressed to 11 decimal places, yet appears accurate to only 4, is increased accuracy via display format change an option in this example?

RE: Integration: TI-86 & Casio Algebra 2.0 Plus
Hi, KeithB

The problem for HP71B is that integrand, after u-transformed, is still inverted U shaped.

We would really like bell shaped, for efficient integration.
One way is to apply u-transform twice. (1 explicit, 1 internal)

10 DEF FNF(X)=ATAN(ATANH(X))/X
20 DEF FNU(U)=FNF(U*U*(3-2*U))*6*U*(1-U)
30 DISP INTEGRAL(0, 1, 1E-10, FNU(IVAR))
>run
 1.02576051093

Or, remove cusp at x=1. Let x=1-u^2, turn curve close to a straight line.
Internal u-transform will again get a bell shaped curve.

>20 DEF FNU(U)=FNF(1-U*U)*2*U
>run
 1.02576051093

Or, pick a curve close to what we had, and we know its area.
Let y = atanh(x) --> x = tanh(y) --> dx = sech(y)^2 dy

∫(atan(atanh(x))/x, x = 0 .. 1) = ∫(atan(y)/tanh(y) * sech(y)^2, y = 0 .. ∞)

Cas> series(atan(y), y)      → y - 1/3*y^3 + 1/5*y^5 + y^6*order_size(y)
Cas> series(tanh(y),y)       → y - 1/3*y^3 + 2/15*y^5 + y^6*order_size(y)

atan(y)/tanh(y) = 1 + 1/15*y^4 + ... ≈ 1 if y is small,
And, we know ∫(sech(y)^2, y = 0 .. ∞) = ∫(1, x = 0 .. 1) = 1

2 curves are close, and its difference give a nice bell curve, easy to integrate.

plot (atan(y)/tanh(y)-1) * sech(y)^2, y = 0 ..​ 10

Eddie, the results from the DM32 are interesting. An emulation of the HP-32SII set to the same setup values has a result of 1.02576051092 which is considerably more accurate than the DM32.


For reference, here are the results of a few more calculator models:

Casio fx-115ES Plus, 1*10^-12, 1-1+10^-12, 205 seconds = 1.025760511
HP 35s (simulation), 0, 1, (FIX 9) 120 seconds = 1.02576051072
