Ti-Nspire Guide Algebra Fundamentals: TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS Revealed and Extended (TI-Nspire Innovation in Education Series Book 1)
Quick Facts about this Guide:
Professor Schroeder says:
Through this Guide, learn how to use your TI-Nspire calculator or iPad app to help you learn Algebra. This Guide covers your device, whether you have the handheld calculator or touch interface iPad app, the TI-Nspire or TI-Nspire CAS model of handheld or iPad app, the new model CX handheld or the older touchpad and clickpad models.
The Guide starts with basic Algebra rules and progresses to how Algebra rules are used in Calculus. You can readily use this Guide if you are in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Introductory Algebra, Algebra II, Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Precalculus or any higher course where Algebra is a prerequisite.
The calculator's screens are used in the introduction of a new topic. The screen allows you to input multiple entries, calculate their results, or perform graphs using traditional math form.
Through its examples and its accompanying exercise, this guide provides a Rosetta Stone effect with the language of math. Each example and its quick-check interactive exercise show both the TI-Nspire and the traditional step-by-step solution.
With a powerful tool such as the TI-Nspire, you need to know when to use that tool and when not to use it. This Guide shows when AND explains why.
A powerful feature that you will want to learn is the creation of global libraries. This Guide illustrates the steps needed for creating a global library and using its commands. You will use the command "Define LibPub" to create your global library functions.
Global libraries and this Guide's technique allow you to define a single or multiple one-line functions on a page. Global one-line functions can be any formula found in a book, new tool commands, or a set of functions that help with the understanding of complex math concepts. There are examples of all of these in this Guide.
Use this Guide and the TI-Nspire CAS technology to check your solutions and submit assignments that are error free. When you happen to have difficulties with a step, you can use your TI-Nspire CAS device to help you work that step until you master it. You can also use the TI-Nspire CAS solutions to increase your efficiency and problem solving ability, as it allows you to concentrate on the problem without getting bogged down with traditional labor-intense steps.
