An introduction to HP apps
Much of the functionality of the HP Prime is provided in packages
called HP apps. The HP Prime comes with 18 HP apps: 10
dedicated to mathematical topics or tasks, three specialized
Solvers, three function Explorers, a spreadsheet, and an app for
recording data streamed to the calculator from an external
sensing device. You launch an app by first pressing
I (which
displays the Application Library screen) and tapping on the
icon for the app you want.
What each app enables you to do is outlined in the following,
where the apps are listed in alphabetical order.
