With instructor approval, other calculators with the same capabilities may be used. The TI-83 is available in the college bookstore and in other retail stores. Instructors will be provided a TI-83 by the department for use during quarters they are teaching Math 1113. TI-83 display units are available in the department office. These allow overhead projection with display exactly as on the student's calculator.
Some instruction is needed on the use of the calculator.
The TI-83 manual is an excellent resource for both students and faculty. The exercise sets given below indicate a minimum level course and thus all should be assigned. However, the instructor is free to choose appropriate exercises to supplement these exercise sets. Every other odd problem is expressed as eoo. 8.1 Problems 1-25 odd Sections 8.3 and 8.5 should be covered together.
