Algebra Uncomplicated: Using a Graphing Calculator

In this course, I will provide lessons, tutorials, videos, reference sheets, and quizzes to help you better understand how to use a TI-84 (or TI-83) Graphing Calculator when doing Algebra. What knowledge and tools are required. Basic MathematicsPre-Algebra Who should take this course.

College StudentsHigh School StudentsParents who want to help their child with math homeworkAnyone who wants a better understanding of how to use a graphing calculator when doing algebra What will students be able to do after taking this course. Know the basic functions and keystrokes of the graphing calculatorUnderstand how to input information in the correct mannerUse the MODE menu to change calculator modesUse the MATH menu and use special notationsUnderstand how to store values and evaluate expressionsUse graphing keys and menusGraph different types of functionsUse the CALC menu to answer different types of questions about a functionSolve a system of equationsGraph a system of inequalitiesUnderstand how to operate with functions and compose functionsCalculate and graph a regression equationUse matrices and matrix operationsOperate with complex numbers There are several different versions of the Texas Instruments Graphing Calculator that I use in this course, including the following: TI-83 PlusTI-84 PlusTI-84 Plus Silver EditionTI-84 Plus C Silver EditionTI-84 Plus CE I have chosen to use keystrokes and features that are the most universally compatible with the calculators in the list above. Later versions of the calculator may contain more advanced features than the calculator I use for my demonstrations, but my instructions should still provide an effective way of solving the problems with your particular calculator.
