Insights Into Calculus with the Graphics Calculator Used with ... Larson-Calculus with Analytic Geometry

This useful laboratory manual facilitates the use of graphics calculators to expand students' conceptual understanding of calculus. Designed to enhance any calculus text, the manual's 360 exercises provide discussions of key topics, over 110 examples, and more than 300 figures taken directly from graphics calculator displays. The first exercise introduces students to the use of graphics calculators using TI-81 notation, but nearly all the techniques can easily be used with any graphics calculator. All exercise sets are calculator-independent. Programs for eight specific types of calculations, from approximating zeros to finding the sum of a series, are incorporated throughout the text. The programs are also listed, in TI-81, TI-85, and Sharp 9200-9300 formats, in an appendix.
