Calculators

Want a free, online alternative to Mathematica or Maple?  Mathix is a simple Computer Algebra System (CAS) to help you, at the very least, check answers. Check out a screenshot of an integral I checked with it, along with the help on the right side of the window that I used to find the syntax. // (Hey BC kids...this is integration by parts!) //





We will use the TI-84 Plus in AP Calculus. However, there are only 10 calculators available to be lent to students. Since you know from pre-calculus that it is often necessary to have a graphing calculator, you are encouraged to purchase one on your own. This would especially be advantageous to you if you know that your college major will be in some type of mathematics or engineering. Need help with your calculator commands? Here's the link to the manual.

If you are interested, you can get an onscreen TI graphing calculator by downloading from the following site: TiCalc.org Sorry ... PC only.

Or better yet...get the Wabbit! (Thanks for this Class of '15!) Also, thanks to Mr. Konkus for showing us the Wabbit last year. ~Bobby

 Using a TI-89? I can usually answer your questions in class for the basics, but if you need help at home, click here for the manual.
