Exploring Math from Algebra to Calculus with Derive, A Mathematical Assistant

This book will show you exactly what to expect when you use Derive on your computer. Filled with illustrated examples and keystroke guides. A mathematical question is stated then keystrokes to answer the questions are shown along with the resulting images from the monitor. This allows you to choose from a variety of topics and carry out, for yourself, the actions on the computer. As soon as the mechanics are comfortable you are encouraged to extend the problem or charge off in a different direction. This book was originally written for Derive for DOS. Although the software has continued to be updated, Derive users may still find the information in this book valuable.
