This is a collection of programs to solve highh school level problems faster on TI-83/84/+/SE/CSE/CE calculators.
These are written in TI-BASIC_83, a programming language for TI-83/84/+/SE/CSE/CE calculators. These programs are uncompiled, as .txt files. You will need to convert them to .8xp files for them to work on your calculator. For more information on how to download these onto your calculator, see Downloading

RAM, or Random-access memory, is volatile memory on your calculator, which means that if your calculator crashes or you change your calculator battery, your programs on the calculator will be deleted.
Your calculator archive, or ROM (Read-Only Memory) is much more stable, and there is more storage in this part of the calculator than RAM, meaning that you can store more programs. However, as the name suggests, you cannot edit programs in this part of the calculator.
You should download your calculator programs to the archive, rather than the RAM.
Later, if you want to unarchive a program, you can do
2nd → mem(+) → 6 → prgm → (the name of the archived program) → enter
