Scripted Calculations

One way to use AutoMathic is by running scripted calculations.  Scripted calculations are pre-built workflows that set up and perform complete calculations automatically. 

Loading a scripted calculation runs it, and often includes comments, equations, expressions, variables, interactive input, and other Command-mode commands.

Step-by-Step:

1. Tap the "File..." button to access the File Operations menu.
2. Choose the "Load Algebra" menu option.
3. Select a scripted calculation (.eqn) file from the list.

• Scripted calculation files can be viewed to learn more about the calculation before using it.

4. Read the pop-up prompts/instructions to provide input.

• Input can be any valid expression, made up of numbers, operators, and/or variables.
• Unless otherwise instructed, enter nothing if you don't know the value being asked for...  It will be treated as an unknown.
• Unknowns will be found automatically if possible.

5. Review the output area to see the results of the calculation.
6. Additional or follow-up calculations can be done manually from Command mode.

AutoMathic includes a library of scripted calculation files that use all of the Command-mode features to perform many useful, task-oriented calculations.  However, you can also create your own custom scripts and import them into AutoMathic:

1. Use any text editor on your device or computer to create a plain text file containing any Command-mode commands.
   
2. Give it a filename with a ".eqn" file extension.
3. Use the iOS Files app or iTunes File Sharing to add the script file to AutoMathic's documents.
