This fills the bill. A lot of stuff is repeated in each chapter so if you just need something for a topic in say Ch. 9 you don't have to read chs 1-8 to figure it out which is just perfect for me. I am taking Stat and Physics now and found just what I need to be productive in both in no time. It has a brief appendix for simple programming - just enough to do some simple stuff I need to key in some physics formulae and make a simple menu. If you want to get more deeply into programming or other features you will need a different book - but this will get you through basic physics, and stat. Review: Very Helpful - It was a sad day when I realized I had to put my trusty ti-84+ plus silver edition to rest. We had some great times...but ultimately she just didn't have the power I needed. Changing calculators is always an emotional and traumatic experience, but this book helps to ease the pain. The ti-89 is an excellent calculator, but a bit more complicated than the earlier model ti's. More power means more menus, more functions, and ultimately, more places for confusion. This book is kind of like a road map for the calculator -- you won't want to read it cover to cover, but you'll definitely want it handy when you lose yourself in the ti-89. For those of you who are not sure whether or not you want to buy the book, here are some things the book does and doesn't do. This book will not teach you how to do math. It will not give you problems to practice on. It will not explain what mathematical terms mean. It is not a textbook. This book will tell you how to use the calculator for the tasks you wish to accomplish (take a definite integral, differentiate a function, decompose something into partial fractions, switch between polar and cartesian coordinates,graph a function, etc. etc.) the book also gives some shortcuts and points out some common user errors. Like I said before, the ti-89 is powerful calculator, which can sometimes make using it a bit daunting at first-- this book will help ease you in to the calculator and allow you to use it to its full potential. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,159,090 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #538 in Handheld & Mobile Devices #1,063 in Probability & Statistics (Books) #31,137 in Schools & Teaching (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (246) | | Dimensions | 7.2 x 0.9 x 9 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0764589121 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0764589126 | | Item Weight | 1.16 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 368 pages | | Publication date | August 26, 2005 | | Publisher | For Dummies | ## Images ![TI-89 Graphing Calculator For Dummies (For Dummies Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Z2iZHYQzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for TI-89 beginners who just need a quick idea *by M***N on October 9, 2008* I have had the TI-89 for a while and keep finding other classes it's good for but the TI manuals you download are encyclopedias and not that helpful when you're in a hurry and just want to figure out how to do one particular thing.

The 92 and 200 have QWERTY keyboards, and I now wish I had purchased one of them instead. Written by C.C. Edwards who holds a Ph.D. in mathematics and copywrited in 2005, the book is a bit dated because the OS has evolved since then, which leads to some inaccuracies. For example, the author states "there are no key combinations where you hold one key and press another". Never say never: If you hold the up arrow (beneath COPY) and press the left or right arrow key, it highlights the portion of the entry you want to copy to delete. Very handy. So it's time for a new edition. However, I'm glad I bought it because it's well written, easy to understand, has a good index and glossary, and is much more user friendly then the 89's manual which I find to be pretty cryptic. Dr. Edward's book is designed to teach you how to use the calculator. The 89's manual does that to some extent, but for the most part it's designed to simply define the calculator's functions in a seemingly random format. There are free online tutorials for the 89, but I found them to be little better than the 89's manual. So, in the end, I highly recommend Dr. Edward's book, and I also found that I could buy it from Amazon and have it sent to my mailbox cheaper then I could pick it up at the store, most of which had to order it in which would have taken longer. ## Frequently Bought Together - TI-89 Graphing Calculator For Dummies - Texas Instruments TI-89 Titanium Graphing Calculator (packaging may differ) - Texas Instrument Ti 89 Titanium Programmable Graphing Calculator --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3962290-ti-89-graphing-calculator-for-dummies-for-dummies-series](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3962290-ti-89-graphing-calculator-for-dummies-for-dummies-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
