I used this 119 page book to get up to speed on using my new TI-84 calculator. I found it enjoyable reading, with easy to understand examples, and I went through the book in about two weeks doing all the examples.

Carl Swenson's book starts with the "on" key at page 1 and goes progressively through the uses of the calculator up to and including graphing solutions for differential equations, and finishes in slightly over a hundred pages. Even if a person hasn't had calculus yet, he or she can start on page one and work through the book up to the point where their mathematical understanding ends. ... Read More
