Ken: I bought this book to help me understand Statistics while using my TI-89. It was a great help.
A. Hughes: Shows very neat tricks with the TI-89. They show you excellent use of the Ti-89 functions on stats. For the price, you can’t be disappointed.

. Tony A. Gallegos The book arrived in a timely manner, and the content is clearly presented. I would highly recommend the book.
. D. Heater Humorous math book – amazing. I ordered it as we had a tI 89 – it is a gift for my daughter a computer science major in Rutgers – well she is having no end of fun programing the calculator to check her probability work – the book is extremely helpful with examples – very good explanations – and of course guidance to programing the TI 89 graphing calculator!
A Testimonial for the TI-89 Trilogy
“At its best, technology allows students to explore and discover mathematical concepts to aid in their understanding. These books provide a wide variety of engaging activities that can help students learn mathematical concepts with the TI-89. Students and teachers will enjoy throughout these books the historical vignettes and cartoons that motivate, enlighten, and entertain. The pages are filled with stories, applications, mathematical discussion, examples, solutions, exercises, and investigations. With or without the [graphing calculator], students can benefit from the wealth of connections that are made in bringing historical perspective and modern technology together in solving interesting problems. Keying sequences guide students through the TI-89 menus while the accompanying discussion develops the mathematics.”
