Discovering Calculus With the Casio Fx-7700 and the Casio Fx-8700

by Robert T. Smith, Roland B. Minton

This supplemental text for the standard calculus course focuses on how the Casio FX 7700G (a graphing calculator) will aid in improving students' understanding of calculus. Since the calculators are capable of rapid production of graphics and calculations,students with access to the machines will not need to spend as much time on hand graphing and calculations as their more traditional counterparts. By letting the calculators handle the details,students can see the big picture by discovering relationships and experimenting. With calculators such as the Casio FX 7700G,students can focus on important calculus concepts rather than on computational details. This book can be used with any standard text or as a stand-alone.
