Calculus Activities for Graphic Calculators

A how-to book on the TI graphic calculator to enrich traditional first-year calculus courses. Many of the topics presented have been classroom tested in experimental sections. In reading this work the reader should begin to appreciate the certain advantages that a graphic calculator has over alternative technological tools. Calculators are inexpensive enough for students to purchase. They can be easily carried to study areas, classrooms, and even back home for the weekend, as well as in a classroom where they can be used during tests and examinations. The relatively small set of commands is much easier to master than a complex and sometimes confusing computer language.
