Functions Modeling Change : A Preparation for Calculus

Work more effectively using this Graphing Calculator Guide for the TI-83!  This guide is designed to accompany Connally’s Functions Modeling Change: A Preparation for Calculus, 2nd Edition.  It instructs students on how to utilize their TI-83/82 calculators with this textbook. The TI-86/85 and TI-89 are also discussed. This guide contains samples, tips, and trouble shooting sections to answer students' questions.From the Calculus Consortium based at Harvard University, Functions Modeling Change, 2nd Edition prepares readers for the study of calculus, presenting families of functions as models for change.  These materials stress conceptual understanding and multiple ways of representing mathematical ideas.  The focus throughout is on those topics that are essential to the study of calculus and these topics are treated in depth.
