System-wide settings

System-wide settings are values that determine the

appearance of windows, the format of numbers, the scale

of plots, the units used by default in calculations, and

much more.

There are two system-wide settings: Home settings and

CAS settings. Home settings control Home view and the

apps. CAS settings control how calculations are done in

the computer algebra system. CAS settings are discussed

in chapter 3.

Although Home settings control the apps, you can

override certain Home settings once inside an app. For

example, you can set the angle measure to radians in the

Home settings but choose degrees as the angle measure

once inside the Polar app. Degrees then remains the angle

measure until you open another app that has a different

angle measure.

Home settings

You use the Home

Settings input form to

specify the settings for

Home view (and the

default settings for the

apps). Press

(Settings) to open the

Home Settings input

form. There are four pages of settings.
