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.

C. C. Edwards has a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University
of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and is currently teaching mathematics on
the undergraduate and graduate levels. She has been using
technology in the classroom since before Texas Instruments came out
with their first graphing calculator, and she frequently gives
workshops at national and international conferences on using
technology in the classroom. She has written forty activities for
Texas Instrument’s Explorations Web site, and she was an editor of
Eightysomething, a newsletter formerly published by Texas
Instruments. She is also the author of TI-83 Plus Graphing
Calculator For Dummies.
Just barely five feet tall, CC, as her friends call her, has
three goals in life: to be six inches taller, to have naturally
curly hair, and to be independently wealthy. As yet, she is nowhere
close to meeting any of these goals. When she retires, she plans to
become an old lady carpenter.
