TI-Nspire For Dummies

You'll be inspired by this low-stress guide to a high-tech math learning tool!

Your TI-Nspire is unlike any mathematical tool you've ever seen, so you'll really appreciate this plain-English guide to what it can do and how to do it. From loading the batteries and creating a document to performing geometric calculations and constructing statistical graphs, you'll see how to use the TI-Nspire alone and with your PC.
Start here - set up your TI-Nspire, get familiar with the keypad, use the function keys, and configure system settings
You need representation - grasp mathematical concepts more easily through multiple representations and linking representations
Document problems - create documents, add problems, configure page layout, and save your work for assignments or class notes
Be calculating - work with the calculator menu, tools, forms, and variables
Graphic or plane - use the graphing functions in the analytic view and work with geometric objects in the plane geometry view
List the spread - create and manage lists and spreadsheets and use this application with others for statistical calculations
Link up - connect the handheld device to your computer
