Summary: It's ok
Comment: This book is of course much better than the horrible manual that comes w/the 89 (who were they kidding)...however, it could be MUCH better at showing how to imput expressions or equations. I am a math idiot...the TI89 has saved my butt (I just need to take Algebra even though I am a history major) but if you do not know EXACTLY how to enter say a radical then you are left hanging. The examples that are shown are good, but for much less complicated problems...not dealing w/indexes and exponents at the same time. Unless I've missed something. I've had to call TI tech support to teach me how to input various problems...and they were very helpful....now if they would only rewrite THEIR manual and not assume everyone is a math wizard.

Summary: Title says it all
Comment: This is a good book, I do wish it talked more about the other apps that come with or are available for free, and i would of liked to have seen more information on computer to calc interface, and programming. but all in all, the book assumes you know nothing about anything, and is good to get you started. The programing can come later(also, one might imagine that someone who is ready to program is not typically a "Dummy"). What is nice about this book though is that you dont have to read it front to back, you can jump around to find something that you are specifically looking for. the price at a book store or anywhere else is kinda high so amazon.com is probably the cheapest your gonna find it.

Summary: TI-89 For Dummies
Comment: 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.

Summary: Wonderful book - perfect for the first-timeTI-89 owner!
Comment: 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.
