Calculus TI83 Student Faculty Web Page

The main purpose of this web page is to give students and teachers of calculus an additional resource which they can use to learn about the TI83 calculator as it can be used in calculus courses. Our main emphasis will be the TI83 calculator, but we will occasionally include comments which will be relevant to the use of other calculators, such as the TI85, TI89, TI92, and other brand name calculators. We plan to allow this web page to continually grow over time.

Questions or comments about this web page should be addressed to either Professor Gerald Roskes, Department of Mathematics, Queens College, Flushing, N,Y, 11367, (Telephone: 718-997-5831, email: gerald_roskes@qc.edu) or Professor Alan Sultan, Department of Mathematics, Queens College, Flushing, N.Y. 11367, (Telephone: 718-997-5845, email: asultan956@aol.com).
