Schultz, James E. – Mathematics Teacher, 2004
Constant feature is the calculator's feature to add subtract, multiply or divide the same number more than once without entering it each time. Application of the power of the constant feature to consumer mathematics, probability and iterative processes with problem solving implications are discussed.
