6 Getting Started with TI-Nspire™ CX II Handhelds
Understanding the Scratchpad
Use the Scratchpad to make quick calculations and graphs without affecting the
current TI-Nspire™ document. For example, when you need a quick way to test a
calculation before you add it to a document, you can open the Scratchpad application
and perform the calculation. Then, you can either discard the calculation or add it to a
document. For more information about the Scratchpad, please see Using the
Scratchpad.
