Visual Mathematics Illustrated By The Ti 92 And The Ti 89

The aim of this book is to present basic and advanced mathematical concepts using the graphical and traditional calculator, the TI 92 and the TI 89. These mathematical concepts are commonly taught at some stage of the first three years of college curricula; Analysis (approximations, convergence, differential equations, etc.) Linear Algebra (orthogonality, reduction, etc.). The idea behind this book is totally original and will teach the reader not only all the necessary theorems and examples, but illustrations of the calculator screens and the programs (short versions) will allow the reader to visualize these new concepts directly from the book, or on the calculator, leading to a better understanding through "seeing" and "touching" the mathematical lesson being taught.

This activity book includes 31 math activities using the computer, Computer-Based Laboratory (CBL) unit, various sensors and probes, and TI-83 or TI-83 Plus graphing calculators. The accompanying CD-ROM includes downloadable programs for use with CBL-compatible products included the TI-73, TI-82, TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-86, TI-89, TI-92, and TI-92 Plus.

Technology is playing an increasingly important role in the teaching and learning of mathematics at all levels. This publication reports on overviews of research and findings on the impact of technology. It furnishes a rich context in which to observe teachers in prekindergarten through grade 12 and teacher educators using technology to help their students better understand mathematics, and gives us all a glimpse of what the future might hold in store for us. The accompanying CD includes electronic features that enhance an understanding of the articles presented in the printed yearbook.

In this third edition of a text for students in business, management, economics, and social and life sciences, Tan (Stonehill College) provides 150 new application exercises, plus step-by-step instructions, examples, and problems using Excel and numerous graphing calculator screens. Material has been added on the algebra of functions, functions and mathematical models, and analyzing mathematical models, and a chapter on the mathematics of finance has been strengthened with new real-life applications.
