Product Description
If you have a T1-84 Plus Graphing Calculator, you have a powerful, sophisticated tool for advanced math. In fact, it’s so sophisticated that you may not know how to take advantage of many of its features and functions. That’s a good problem to have, and TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator For Dummies is the right solution! It takes the TI-84 Plus to the next power, showing you how to:

• Display numbers in normal, scientific, or engineering notations
• Perform basic calculations, deal with angles, and solve equations
• Create and investigate geometric figures
• Graph functions, inequalities, or transformations of functions
• Create stat plots and analyze statistical data
• Create probability experiments like tossing coins, rolling dice, and so on
• Save calculator files on your computer
• Add applications to your calculator so that it can do even more

TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator For Dummies was written by C.C. Edwards, author of TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator For Dummies, who has a Ph.D. in mathematics and teaches on the undergraduate and graduate levels. The book doesn’t delve into high math, but it does use appropriate math examples to help you delve into:

• Using the Equation Solver
• Using GeoMaster and its menu bar to construct lines, segments, rays, vectors, circles, polygons, perpendicular and parallel lines, and more
• Creating a slide show of transformations of a graph
• Using the Inequality Graphing application to enter and graph inequalities and solve linear programming problems

There’s even a handy tear-out cheat sheet to remind you of important keystrokes and special menus, And since you’ll quickly get comfortable with the built-in applications, there’s a list of ten more you can download and install on your calculator so it can do even more! TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator For Dummies is full of ways to increase the value of your TI–84 Plus exponentially.

Reader Reviews
If you don't buy the TI-83 Plus for Dummies book, the TI-84 Plus book won't do you any good. There are way TOO many references to the TI-83 book and the book is written in a way that implies you spent the money to upgrade to a TI-84+, rather than buying the TI-84+ out right. Save your money, unless you agree that spending the money for both books is a good deal.
