TI Graphing Calculator Resources page

For this course, I recommend the TI-84 or TI-83+. The silver editions are faster and more powerful (and more expensive calculators) but are not required. The TI-89 is allowed on the AP exam and is a fantastic calculator, however, some of my calculator active tests and quizzes may not be designed for the TI-89. If you own a TI-89, you do not need to buy another calculator, I will loan you a TI 83 or TI 84 for those tests and quizzes in which a TI 89 is not allowed. Most quizzes and test do not require a calculator and one will not be allowed on those. The AP exam is designed to be taken half with a calculator and half with no calculator.

Calculus programs for 83+ or 84	To quote the web site: "To use the download links, you must have the TI "graphlink" or TI-Connect software and interface cable to connect to your computer (this is not the same as the simple wire cable you use to share programs with friends). Files will ordinarily download as "zip" files to your computer hard drive. Use a utility such as WinZip to extract or "unzip" the file, and you will then have a program file in TI file format (e.g., a .83P file for a TI-83Plus, a .89P file for your TI-89, etc.). After extracting or unzipping, you can use the graphlink or connect software to load it onto your calculator, edit it, or modify it as you wish."
