Tapping into Mathematics with the TI-80 Graphics Calculator Summary

Tapping into Mathematics with the TI-80 Graphics Calculator by Barrie Galpin

Not only does this book teach the basics of mathematics and calculator skills, but also exploits the graphics calculator as a learning aid to develop the student's understanding of mathematical principles, explaining the facilities of the calculator and showing when and how to apply it. This approach is effective and far more exciting for the students.
