Publisher's Synopsis
Focusing on how the TI-81 and the TI-85 (two graphing calculators) are designed to aid in the understanding of calculus, this book concentrates on the discovery of relationships and experimenting rather than on computational details. Differences between the two calculators are pointed out where appropriate, as the TI-85 is newer and developed especially for the calculus audience. By not emphasizing button pushing, but concepts and the application of those concepts, a simple programme is built to improve skills. In addition, many programming notes are included throughout.
