ABOUT THE BOOK:The publisher is William R. Parks:www.wrparks.comDr. Gerald Rising and Dr. Deborah Moore-Russo, of the University at Buffalo and Dr. Eileen Schoaff of Buffalo State College wrote "Program Your Calculator," to give a basic introduction to programming with the TI-84 calculator through a series of interesting examples. This book gives excellent explanations suitable for home schooling. James Easton, instructor at Erie Community College in Buffalo, NY, finds "Program Your Calculator" a very useful text for both individual and classroom settings. Easton said, "Students gain much insight into mathematical concepts through programming. The book opens that opportunity to them and triples the power of the calculator." Professor Rising explains why he considers their book important: "Check any science lab or engineering workplace and you will find an extraordinary number of hand-held calculators in daily use, but too few users employ the programming power of their calculators. By programming them according to the instructions this text provides, they can make their tiny devices respond to the specific problems in which they are interested: solving complex equations, replicating experiments, modeling real world applications and creating exquisite graphs. The power of the calculator increases significantly." "Programming was a central part of the school mathematics curriculum in the past. Today it is rarely taught except in specialized computer science courses. In Germany and Japan the situation is different: calculator programming is widely taught and applied." Rising says he hopes "Program Your Calculator" will address our nation’s deficiency: "Our book is a brief, straightforward presentation that can be used in school or college classrooms or by individual learners." A simple example of a program Rising wrote called "Lottery" models the national MegaMillions lottery. It allows users to "buy" as many dollar tickets as they wish and see the probable outcome. "Running this program," he says, "shows in striking fashion what little return players receive from their ‘investments.’" ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Gerald R.
