So I was writing my physics diploma exam, and in the instructions at the front of the booklet it said that your calculators "parametric memory" should be cleared. I looked up parametric on wikipedia and dictionary.com but all it talked about was variation and ranges. Anyone know what it really means in regard to memory?

Your calculator has for modes for the graph-screen, one of which graphs parametric functions. If you hit [MODE], you'll probably see "Func" highlighted (function graphing). Go to "Par" instead to get to it. Now, you may or may not know that parametric functions have X and Y as functions of T (time), the domain of which is adjustable from the window menu. It's useful for graphing equations that can't be considered functions, due to the possibility of more than one y-value per x value.
