3.0 out of 5 stars Good and bad, Nov 11 2006

By Fred K. Johnson - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: TI-89 Graphing Calculator For Dummies (Paperback)

This book is very good at what it does cover and very bad at what it doesn't cover. It's clear it was written by a mathematician. The topics and tricks dealing with functions and graphing are great. Anyone taking a math class such as Algebra, Trig or Calculus will be helped. It doesn't cover certain important topics at all or very lightly. There is nothing on programming. Two pages are dedicated to writing your own functions with nothing on how you can use a user defined function in a formula. While the book carefully explains how to make sure if variables are defined or not there is nothing on folders which would be a great help as the scope of a variable is a folder. By organizing folders you can keep things seperated and track when variables are defined. There is nothing on units of measure which is a strong point of this machine. That would be important in say a physics or EE class. It has very little on statistics for someone in a statistics class.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unlocking the Power of the TI-89, Sep 30 2005

By Naut Gauss - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: TI-89 Graphing Calculator For Dummies (Paperback)

"TI-89 ...For Dummies" has unlocked for me many useful features of this powerful calculator. The TI-89 is required for a sequence of classes I am taking. The TI supplied manual reads like some poor engineer was asked to spruce up the notes from designing the thing. But CC. Edwards presents essential features in a clear, fun, and readable manner. I wanted skills that would help me quickly perform needed operartions and understand how to get out of quirky modes that you can blunder into. Thanks, C.C., you did it! She is a good writer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could have been so much better, May 27 2007

By Jimmy Clay - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: TI-89 Graphing Calculator For Dummies (Paperback)

I debated if to give this two or three stars, and I'm giving it two simply because I expect better from the For Dummies series of book.

First for the good stuff. I'm not sure you can get another book for the TI-89 for this price that will help you get started with the calculator. And I did learn stuff from the book. So if you just spent $150 to buy the calculator, and you need an inexpensive book to help you get started, this is the book.

But the bad is this. This book seems to me to have been a rushed job. I don't believe it was fully edited and critiqued before it was published. A lot of words were wasted repeating the same information over and over. In part three of the books it seemed like each chapter had a section on analyzing that was just like the section in the other chapters. Also, it seemed like the Zooming functions were re-explained a lot. In chapter seven, pictures are shown of graphs that where graphed on the calculator, but we are not give the formulas so we can graph it on our calculator (I used the formulas .5x-sin(x) and 1/3+x, but not exactly the same as what's used in the book), making it hard to follow alone with the instructions the book is giving. Much the same thing is done in chapter 20. I never did figure out chapter nine, but maybe I don't know enough about sequences.

Although the book was helpful, almost everything in it could have been explained better. And I wish more time would have been taken explaining the calculator itself, such as the differences between it and the other TI graphing calculators, some basics about how the applications that come with it work, and the meaning of the stuff you see when you use the 2nd & MEM keys. It's an okay starter book, but with a little more effort it could have much, much better.
