The TI-89 for Dummies book is an excellent supplement to the TI-89 owner's manual. The book is logically organizaed by subject area and is easy to follow. I highly recommend it if you're "new" to the TI-89.

| TI-89 Graphing Calculator For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science)) by For Dummies Wonderful book - perfect for the first-timeTI-89 owner! |
This book (like all books I've read in the "For Dummies" series) is wonderful. The book assumes you've just purchased a TI-89 and starts off acquainting you with the basic info you need to operate the TI-89; then delves into subject-specific (trig, calculus, matrices, etc) chapters. Each chapter past the intro chapter stands alone, so you don't have to read the book cover-to-cover to take advantage of the TI-89. When a chapter refers to a step that is covered in another chapter, the text clearly explains where to quickly find the preliminary information.
Another good point in the book is that when describing button press sequences on the calculator, the name of the key is called out, and not the name of the function it performs (e.g. when describing the use of the inverse tangent function, the book tells you to press "2nd T" (the names of the keys as they appear on buttons), instead of telling you to press tan^-1, and leaving it up to you to figure out which sequence of keystrokes will give this fn.

| TI-89 Graphing Calculator For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science)) by For Dummies TI-89 Calculator guide |
| This book is OK for those new to the graphing calculator but it falls short of giving examples for some of the more advanced features of the calculator. Also there are a few typographic errors that could confuse less advanced students. |
| TI-89 Graphing Calculator For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science)) by For Dummies Great TI-89 starter book |
| It's great at showing how to do work with the most used Math-oriented functions and problems. It's also has *very* good chapters on Probability and Statistics which explain the most basic things in an easy to learn way (so easy that I was seamlessly doing my Probability homework on the *first* day I received my TI-89 calculator and this book!). Those looking for a hand at how to work with Physics with the TI, look elsewhere. I'd recommend it to any TI-89/92 user. |
