To use this program:
1. Enter the order n into the Y-register and the complex number z into the X-registers.
2. Press ´A to calculate the principal root z
0
which placed in the real and imaginary X-
registers. (Press´% and hold to view the imaginary part).
3. To calculate higher number roots z
k
:
Press ¦
to calculate each successive higher-number root. Each root z
k
is placed in
the complex X-registers and its number k is placed in the Y-register. Between root
calculations, you can perform other calculations without disturbing this program (if

Store the number of the root k in the Index register (using OV then press ¦
to calculate z

. The complex root and its number are placed in the X- and Y-registers,
respectively. (By pressing ¦
again, you can continue calculating higher-number
roots.)
