DESCRIPTION

With so many features and functions, the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus graphing calculator can be a little intimidating. This easy-to-follow book turns the tables and puts you in control! In it you'll find terrific tutorials that guide you through the most important techniques, dozens of examples and exercises that let you learn by doing, and well-designed reference materials so you can find the answers to your questions fast.

Using the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus starts by giving you a hands-on orientation to the calculator so you'll be comfortable with its screens, buttons, and the special vocabulary it uses. Then, you'll start exploring key features while you tackle problems just like the ones you'll see in your math and sciences classes. TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus calculators are permitted on most standardized tests, so the book provides specific guidance for SAT and ACT math. Along the way, easy-to-find reference sidebars give you skills in a nutshell for those times when you just need a quick reminder.
