Unique book! [Posted on 2000-06-26]
The layout for this book was great! The table of contents of this book has the subjects listed so you can browse to what the instructor is covering quickly. When you get to the subject you are covering in the book the author gives a math review of history on the subject of math and how it relates with example problems. Then he covers step-by-step instructions on how to enter the data into the TI-89 (this was very helpful for me) and then shows what the calculator's results should be. I would recommend this book as a stepping stone for beginners who plan on taking Pre-Calculus in the future with the TI-89. I purchased this book to help me in Pre-Calculus entering basic data that was covered in previous Algebra classes. I have not had much experience with the TI-89 and this book was very helpful in certain subjects than the handbook that came with the TI-89 calculator.

Advanced Algebra for the TI-89 [Posted on 2001-08-27]
The book was helpful in learning how to solve matrices and other advanced algebra problems. It also had some mathematical history jokes which were appropriate. It gave some very helpful steps in learning the details of the TI-89, and the easiest way to use it. I would recommend this book to other students, either high school, or college level to gain insight into their TI-89 before using it in class.

Advanced Algebra - I don't think so! [Posted on 2001-12-05]
This book places more emphasis on the calculators ability to do the work for you, it doesn't explain what the calculator is doing in order to get the solution.

Its really aimed at high school kids who don't have any knowledge of calculus and the mathematical jokes don't win any prizes. Overall I would reccomend you go for a maths book and not this book.

Pass on this one [Posted on 2006-08-02]
It's not just algebra, there is some statistics also. For the most part not well layed out. I would pass on this one.

really not worth the investment [Posted on 2008-06-05]
By using the internet and TI resources, you will find enough TI-89 algebra tutorials and examples that make purchasing this book unnecessary. Save your money.
