not what I expected [Posted on 2008-03-23]
I was looking for two very specific things when I purchased this book. It doesn't do either of them.
First, I wanted a book that would teach me how to use my calculator in my statistics class. This book seems to be trying to teach statistics, which it doesn't do very well.
Second, I wanted a reference book that I could look up a calculator command and get a similar, but more detailed explanation than I can get from my TI users manual. It's not a reference book at all. It has exercises and investigations which take far too much time to wade through to get the information I need. There are also sections on how to write programs on your calculator which are interesting but again, far too much work for what I'm looking for.
If you're a teacher looking for lab material for a statistics class, this may be a good book for you but it's not a reference manual with directions for using a calculator.
