About Using CAS Features Like A Champion: Get Started

The third edition of this book has been updated for the 2016-17 school year. Following up his popular "Introduction to the TI-Nspire," teacher and author Lucas Allen continues his TI-Nspire (TM) Tutorials series with a look at the TI-Nspire CAS. The CAS, or computer algebra system, version of the TI-Nspire is popular at the high school and college level alike for its ability to manipulate not just numbers, but variables. For all the amazing growth that the TI-Nspire platform has shown over the last few years, there still remains a lack of quality resources available for the CAS version of the TI-Nspire. This brief book is designed to address the needs of students and teachers in search of help with their TI-Nspire CAS.In this second volume of the series, careful attention is given to the CAS specific features of the TI-Nspire CAS. Basic features such as expanding, factoring, and solving simple equations are covered as well as more advanced techniques such as solving complex equations, derivatives, integrals, and differential equations. Any student or teacher working with mathematics from algebra through calculus can benefit from the techniques taught in this book.The third edition of these TI-Nspire CX CAS tutorials are written for TI-Nspire CAS OS 4.2, the latest version of the operating system, released in 2016. If you have an older version of the operating system on your TI-Nspire CX CAS, you will find directions in the book on where to turn to update your calculator at no additional cost. If you have an older grayscale version of the TI-Nspire CAS, it will only upgrade to version 3.9. With an older grayscale TI-Nspire CAS, you can still take advantage of most, but not all, of the tutorials in this book.Lucas Allen has become an authority on the use of the TI-Nspire CAS since its release, as he was an early adopter of the device for use with the math team he coached in a public school in downstate Illinois for many years.
