Constants

Constants lets you access scientific constants to paste in various areas of the
TI-30X Plus MathPrint™ calculator. Press % Œ   to access, and ! or " to select either the NAMES or UNITS menus of the same 20 physical constants. Use # and $ to scroll through the list of constants in the two menus. The NAMES menu displays an abbreviated name next to the character of the constant. The UNITS menu has the same constants as NAMES but the units of the constant show in the menu.

Note: Displayed constant values are rounded. The values used for calculations are given in the following table (NIST 2018).
