Function PEVAL
This function evaluates a polynomial, given a vector of its coefficients, [a
n
, a

The SYS sub-menu
The SYS sub-menu contains a listing of functions used to solve linear systems.  
The functions listed in this sub-menu are:
These functions are presented in detail in Chapter 11.
The TVM sub-menu
The TVM sub-menu contains functions for calculating Time Value of Money.  This 
is an alternative way to solve FINANCE problems (see Chapter 6).  The 
functions available are shown next:
The SOLVR sub-menu
The SOLVR sub-menu in the TVM sub-menu will launch the solver for solving 
TVM problems.   For example, pressing 
@)SOLVR, at this point, will trigger the 
following screen:
As an exercise, try using the values n = 10, I%YR = 5.6, PV = 10000, and FV 
= 0, and enter „[ PMT ] to find PMT = -1021.08….  Pressing L, produces 
the following screen:
