Chapter 13. Now what?
This chapter covers
- Your graphing calculator as more than a math tool
- How your calculator can connect to computers, calculators, and sensors
- What’s next for you and for graphing calculators
In the past 12 chapters, we dove deeply into almost all your graphing calculator’s features. You’ve seen everything from arithmetic to calculus, stopping at algebra, precalculus, statistics, and probability along the way. You’ve learned how to use your calculator as a powerful tool for math and science. In this final chapter, I want to round out your calculator expertise with a few extra skills, many of which aren’t directly math-related. Some of these new skills stem from the calculator’s programmability, which chapter 11 showed you could be used to write useful math programs or entertaining games. The other features we’ll explore make use of your graphing calculator’s ability to connect to other devices.
