 Unlocking the Power of the TI-89 September 30, 2005
Naut Gauss (Tulsa, OK)
34 out of 36 found this review helpful
"TI-89 ...For Dummies" has unlocked for me many useful features of this powerful calculator. The TI-89 is required for a sequence of classes I am taking. The TI supplied manual reads like some poor engineer was asked to spruce up the notes from designing the thing. But CC. Edwards presents essential features in a clear, fun, and readable manner. I wanted skills that would help me quickly perform needed operartions and understand how to get out of quirky modes that you can blunder into. Thanks, C.C., you did it! She is a good writer.
The book that should come with the calculator March 14, 2006

When you purchase a TI-89, you should be either directed to purchase the Dummies book for it, or it should be included with the device. More informative (and easier reading than the dry manual included) the Dummies book is excellent to assist you in the learning curve and get your money's worth out of the device.
My opinion is that the only dummies are those who do not make use of their Dummies books. Well written by knowledgable professionals who have a sense of humor.

Wonderful book - perfect for the first-timeTI-89 owner! February 29, 2008

This book (like all books I've read in the "For Dummies" series) is wonderful. The book assumes you've just purchased a TI-89 and starts off acquainting you with the basic info you need to operate the TI-89; then delves into subject-specific (trig, calculus, matrices, etc) chapters. Each chapter past the intro chapter stands alone, so you don't have to read the book cover-to-cover to take advantage of the TI-89. When a chapter refers to a step that is covered in another chapter, the text clearly explains where to quickly find the preliminary information.
Another good point in the book is that when describing button press sequences on the calculator, the name of the key is called out, and not the name of the function it performs (e.g. when describing the use of the inverse tangent function, the book tells you to press "2nd T" (the names of the keys as they appear on buttons), instead of telling you to press tan^-1, and leaving it up to you to figure out which sequence of keystrokes will give this fn.
TI-89 For Dummies March 8, 2008
Jay M. Lalik Sr. (Niceville, FL USA)
The TI-89 for Dummies book is an excellent supplement to the TI-89 owner's manual. The book is logically organizaed by subject area and is easy to follow. I highly recommend it if you're "new" to the TI-89.
