	AP Calculus with the TI-82 / TI-83 Graphing Calculator
by George Best and Sally Fischbeck Do you want your calculus students to... understand how the TI-82 works and its limitations? develop a repertoire of graphing skills that are useful? acquire and continue to expand a set of problems for which graphing calculators are good tools? focus on the fundamental concepts? recognize when the calculator is useful and when it is unnecessary? be prepared for the May AP Calculus Examination? This new resource text is designed to support the effective and appropriate use of the TI-82 in a calculus course. It includes: Multiple-choice and free-response questions at the end of each chapter that are similar to the calculator active exercises that might appear on the AP Calculus Examination. Topics that anticipate the changes that will be occurring in the calculus curriculum. Useful programs for several topics. An emphasis on the numerical and graphical aspects of calculus. Labs that encourage students to explore patterns and then describe them.   "AP Calculus with the TI-82 adds a new dimension to the way in which I teach AP Calculus. The simplicity of presentation along with problem sections that are probing and instructive energize my calculus labs. The influence of calculus reform is evident throughout the text. The collection of AP exercises at the end of each chapter emphasize a graphical and numerical approach to data analysis, clearly a break from traditional calculus texts. Whether as a supplement to a class text, or a curriculum for a calculus lab, it is a book that both my students and I cannot be without." - Carol Brody, Clarkstown South High School, West Nyack, NY "...an excellent resource for anyone teaching an AP Calculus course. You will be happy to know that I told all 65 teachers in my workshop that anyone teaching the course must purchase a copy." - Tom Becvar, St Louis High School , St Louis, MO "Buy the book.If you can't buy it, have the department order it. If the department won't order it, ask to borrow a copy from a friend. Anyone teaching AP Calculus must see this book." - Tom Wilson, Walt Whitman High School, Smithville, SC     (APC82) Spiral bound, 220 pages.

Some sections have been rewritten in order to conform to the new AP calculus course description. The derivative, for example, is presented geometrically, numerically and analytically and is interpreted as an instantaneous rate of change. The practice multiple-choice and free-response questions at the end of each chapter support the new AP calculus course description.   (APC83) Spiral bound, 226 pages.
