 very disappointing October 19, 2009

I bought this calculator for my 16 year old son who is taking calculus and physics in high school this year.He has had nothing but problems with it,even though I bought the handbook for it too.Currently,it is frozen.It will not perform any function at all,and he can't even shut it off without taking out the batteries.He had good luck with a TI-81 that I purchased for him on Amazon,but the TI-89 has been very disappointing.
a worth while text for T-89 calculator know how. September 10, 2009
J. Bodin
I have to be honest I bought this for my son. He is in his JR year in Highschool. The Calc class is sharing this book to help them with calc and how to use their T-89 calculators to do it. My son says this book is great and works well for him.

This book, like others I have by Brendan Kelly, is clearly written, easy
to read, and he writes for his target audience. This book not only shows
the reader which buttons to push but also includes theory and asks really
good questions to ponder as you go. Do not be misled by the fact that it
is only 95 pages long. Those pages are jam packed with all the RIGHT in-
formation and calculus theory with illustrative solved problems and then
problems with detailed solutions in the back of the book. Each chapter of
this book should printed into every full blown calculus text at the back
of each chapter of the same material. In this way a student learns how to
use the TI-89 for the material he is studying at the same time. Doing
both simultaneously is enormously helpful to the learning process. The
calculator is not a substitute for doing the calculations manually - I
am a purist - but it is a great tool for checking those calculations that
you can do manually because you have done practice problems until your
eyes are falling out. Let me repeat myself: There is not a better, more
well written, more enjoyable book on this subject to be found anywhere.
Mr. Kelly, when are you going to treat us to a full blown 1,200 page tome
on introductory calculus written by you?
Calculus TI-89 with Application. July 16, 2007

Great for learning Calculus, the applications of Calculus and the use of the TI-89 to solve Calculus problems.
Great intro to TI-89 and Calculus November 7, 2001
43 out of 47 found this review helpful
This book provides a broad and useful introduction to Calculus and to the TI-89. It's especially useful for beginners in Calculus, who want to learn a bit about concepts along with learning how to use a graphing calculator. It moves at a brisk pace, but still explains concepts surprisingly well.
