Description
This hands-on workbook, designed to be used in conjunction with any mathematics text, helps students understand the concepts of calculus through the use of a graphing calculator. It contains carefully prepared calculator projects allowing students to use graphs to visualize the problems, draw conclusions and check their results. Brief instructions for the latest versions of the Casio, Sharp, Hewlett Packard and Texas Instruments calculators are included in the appendix. Each project is independent and can be deleted without loss of continuity and all calculator instructions have been thoroughly class-tested.
