Again, why? What is the rationale for having two functions that do the
exact same thing (virtually)?

Yes, and on the 85. You will also find a ^2 button, to square things.
This is not on the TI-92 either.

Well I don't think it should be possible. And it isn't. An important
operation? I don't really know. How do you go about rating operations?
I'd say that solving differential equations is a bit more important than
adding a fuction available through creative use of something already
imnplemented.
So why didn't they implement diff eq?

Well: http://www.ti.com/calc/docs/faq/92faq032.htm

I suspect a similar rationale behind the other "missing" functions...
