CALCULATOR REQUIRED: Cost approx $100, if new REQUIRED MODELS: TI-83, TI-83+, or TI-84+ come with the applications needed. The instructor will teach/demonstrate with these calculators in class. The textbook and chapter notes provide instructions.
Note: Most students already own one of these models from their previous math classes. IF YOU ALREADY OWN a TI-89: To use a TI-89, you need to be independent about learning to use it ON YOUR OWN. It needs the Statistics List Editor application. If your TI-89 does not have the Statistics List Editor application, it is entirely your responsibility to download the application and any necessary operating system upgrade directly from the TI website using the appropriate cable that came with your calculator. Instructor can not download the application to your calculator. The instructor will not demonstrate the TI-89 in class and will only help you with it during office hours, not in class. The textbook and chapter notes does not provide TI-89 instructions. A special set of instructions for using the TI-89 for statistics is provided online as a printable pdf file.
Note: Use only one of the calculator models above.
Calculators other than the TI-83+,84+ (or 89 as noted above) are not supported by the instructor or instructional materials and may not be able to do all the work necessary in the class. IMPORTANT NOTE: About this Website: This website duplicates some course information that is contained in Catalyst. It is not a complete website. Students MUST use Catalyst during the quarter. Some materials needed for the first week are posted on this site, so that students who have not yet added or students who encounter problems logging onto Catalyst can get the needed course information and resources. Some other material used during the quarter is also stored on this site. IMPORTANT: This site is NOT regularly updated and maintained during the quarter. It will be missing resources as the quarter progresses. Students should rely on the Catalyst website.
