Shows very neat tricks with the Ti-89. There are 3 books in this series. Very useful in terms of showing you how to use the calculator to do very useful and powerful things. My only complaint is that it is written in a goofy childish manner, most likely in an attempt to take the stigma away from mathematics. The problem is you have to wade through 3 or 4 pages of FLUFF to get to the good stuff. However, once at the good stuff it is very good. It's sort of like having to listen to the pointless stories of a genius before he helps you
