The calculator comes with a manual that is better written and clearer than this "Dummies" book.

5-0 out of 5 stars TI84 graphing calculator for dummies!
This is a must have if you use the TI graphing calculators.Without it, I would've been lost.TI does NOT include pertinent information on how to use their calculators.This book isa life saver.Got it fast, in great condition!!!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great for Dummies like ME
This book is a great intro to the TI 84 Plus calculator!It is perfect for someone like me who went to school before these fabulous calculators were made and therefore never learned how to use one.I love my calculator!This book enhanced my appreciation.

1-0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it
Don't even buy the TI 84 book....too many features are not explained.
Instead, you are told to buy the TI 83 book for those features.
What a rip off.I am never buying another "dummies" book again or for sure I'll be a dummy.

2-0 out of 5 stars TI-84 book is just the +1, missing MANY TI-83 topics
Author is good, subjects are covered well.The issue is w/ WHAT IS LEFT OUT!Why, besides greed, did the publishers think we should also have to buy the TI-83 book?I didn't have to purchase two calculators.They offer a download option for some missing information, which is great, so we know it's possible.Why not offer up the missing (and there are many) topics.Topics like complex numbers, financial calculations, logs and natural logs.We all understand that to keep the costs and pages down some topics are omitted, but come on, it costs what to post them on your site.Bottom line, this book will assist you if you're new to TI-8x products, but don't expect too much.Also expect to walk away w/ a bad taste in your mouth from the Dummies. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars good if u want to use your ti83 for multiple things
overall seems like a decent book, but my main purpose of getting the book was so i could understand how to use my ti-83 for my Statistics class, has a small chapter on this subject but basically i wouldnt buy this book unless i wanted to know how to use my ti-83 for EVERYTHING!

2-0 out of 5 stars Am surprised by the other positive reviews
I loved the finance section of this book but everything else was simply a rehash of what is in the existing TI-83+ book which can be downloaded for free from the TI website.As a matter of fact the free download from the TI website is far superior.This book comes across more as a recipe book which explains how to push buttons but does not give much examples as to why you might want to do this.I find it significantly different from the TI-89 book for dummies which I would easily give 5 stars to.I am even suspicious that the Finance chapter was written by a different person than the rest of the book, or possibly that the author's area of expertise was Finance and he wasn't that familiar with anything else.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best book on during arithmetic in your head without calculator or writing down things
In Texas, U of Texas sponsors "UIL" which is "University Interscholastic League" -- a competition among public schools in several areas. One of these is "number sense", which is doing quick-thinking arithmetic in your head, or with assitance of a scratch sheet.

This book is the best one for training in that. I , after growing up, first had "Short-Cut Math" which is quite good, but this one does it one batter. I have 3 other books on the same subject, and this is the best of the five, althougn one which is quite cutesy might be a good starter for someone having a lot of trouble and needing some "mneumonic story aids".

This is formula manipulation, which in high school [ and even junior high now ] is called algebra. That't what's behind it all -- so kids that learn this have a leg-up on that field later on.

One other crucial fact for usage in "standardized testing" -- this is great for quickly "ball park estimating" the answers to multiple choice questions, which come up in word problems and chemistry in particular.

5-0 out of 5 stars Get an edge on math
This is a great book, it really helps with math.There are alot of short cuts and secrets (hints) to help with solving problems. It is worth the money.

4-0 out of 5 stars Decent ideas for the price
Many of the Math "tricks" were similar to those taught in the math curriculum used at school.There were some different ideas, however, so the book was still worth the purchase.

5-0 out of 5 stars So cool...
We got this book from the library to supplement my 5th grade daughter's homeschool math, and I've decided to purchase it. My undergraduate is in Physics, so I've done my share of arithmetic.What is so cool about this book is that it contains every trick I've ever come up with or figured out, plus a whole lot of others that I wish I'd known.

Learning these tricks is so much cooler than using a calculator!

5-0 out of 5 stars Well worth every penny!
This book is amazing and a must have for every student. It breaks down every mathmatical process in easy and understandable soultions that will leave you saying "Oh yeah I see it now" This was definately a 10 out 0f 10. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great reference
If you are going into a college program that includes advanced math this an excellent book to help support learning to use the TI-89 calulator.

2-0 out of 5 stars The manual that came with the calculator is better
I bought this book to help me use the calculator for school. I hoped it would provide straight forward instructions on how to do basic tasks such as finding the zero's on a graph or maybe the vertex. The answer is probably in there somewhere but it is not in plain site. This book may be useful for dummies who have the time to plow through it in its entirety to learn how to use the calculator, but it is not organized to show you how to do basic things quickly.

1-0 out of 5 stars This book sucks a--
This is the worst hack job I have ever seen.It should really be called, TI-89 for imbecile sucker fools.The book rushes through various functions without giving a single example of anything that the user can practice.In many places not enough information is even given to do a simple task.This book is best suited to kindling for your wood stove.Winter is almost here.Be smart and get a real book that has real math exercises in it. ...

This book is an essential tool for corporate finance classes.While the textbook that I used, "Corporate Finance" by Stephen Ross, Westerfield and Jaffe was clear and concise, it did not give any instructions on solving the problems in any way except algebraically.Calculators are an essential tool and if you need any help in connecting those formulas to calculator inputs, this is your guide.

The book is short, but sweet.It includes instructions and line by line inputs for HP 10BII and two other basic models.

You learn how to calculate the basics of NPV, Bonds & Stocks, Mortgages, and Statistics using your particular brand of calculator.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not Bad...but take it with a grain of salt!!
The book explains a lot of helpful, common calculations that real estate investors need to know. However, as with the first reviewer I also found a CLEAR mistake. Luckily I only bought this book as a review of sorts and am not using it as a verbatim reference tool. Please make sure you have an understanding of math before you take this book literally. On page 117 there is a mistake on the Operating Expense Ratios. For some reason the answers are actually (1-the OE Ratio), so where it says 73.7 it should read 26.3, which obviously changes it from an OE ratio to something else (maybe Operating Income Ratio). For something that is titled as an authoritative reference guide its sad that the editors didn't check out the calculations. These are the kind of books/mistakes that destroy kids education in grammar school; You know there's a mistake, but the teacher wont believe you!

The book is good, but I definitely wont bank my business on it without double checking everything.

3-0 out of 5 stars Good Book
I bought the book back in September of 2006 and have just started reviewing it. I did find an error as mentioned on page 18 in another review by another reader. The Assessed value formula is backwards and you have to reverse the numerator and denominator variables P & A to get the formula to work. Also the revised assessment example on page 20 has some errors also. The formula (1+i)^y should calculate the revised assessment column on page 20 using the 1.5% average increase in assessed value. When you plug in values with y = 1 as the power the values come out. When you use 2-3 years for y, you get a higher value that does not agree with the examples for Laurel St; Haynes St; Green and Hayward Lane respectively. So far this is the major errors I have found but will write back when I see some more. I do agree the classifications of the related formulas are great to the subject matter being expounded on. However I would also like to see more worked out examples for the formulas as this would also serve as a self check for errors. Some of the simpler formulas have no worked out examples and for some this is needed to lock in the theory.

4-0 out of 5 stars Handy reference guide
I ordered this book for my business library and and happy with it, athough it does have some errors in it.However, the material is informative enough to undersatnd, which allows me to perform the calculations in it.

4-0 out of 5 stars For Real estate investor pros
Michael c. Thomsett's REAL ESTATE INVESTOR'S POCKET CALCULATOR: SIMPLE WAYS TO COMPUTER CASHFLOW, VALUE, RETURN, AND OTHER KEY FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTSfinally places in the investor's hands the same tools real estate agents use to calculate yield, values, taxable income and operating expenses. All different types of value are revealed in chapters which cover everything from acceleration techniques and methods for reducing interest to ways of maximizing investment returns. Worksheets, tables and charts provide clarity and all the formulas needed to succeed. Very highly recommended as an essential, basic pick any real estate investor should keep at hand.

3-0 out of 5 stars invalid formulas
Correct me if I am wrong but looking at the definitions for assessment ratios they are defined as appraised price (P) * assessment ratio (R) = assessed value (A) so restating this as P * R = A then R = A / P which is not consistent with the book.The book states that R = P / A which is invalid.If you take the example of asked price which for this example lets say it is the appraised price of $107,500and assessed value of A = 90000.If you use the formula of R = A / P then the ratio is 83.7% if you run the numbers defined in the book formula you get 1.194444444444.Other than that, the book has been very good at figuring the value of a given property. This also applies to the Assessment ratio adjusted.
Here is the reference I found for defining the assessment ratio http://co.laplata.co.us/asrinfo.htm

1-0 out of 5 stars Half the answers in this math book are incorrect.
As a math books go this is at the bottom of the barrel.The author was never taught that math operations are to be done in a particular order.Consequently many of the problems do not arrive at their intended target "answer".PEMDAS (Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally) is a good way to remember what is done first.Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition/subtraction.

4-0 out of 5 stars Fun for the young, may be confusing for grades 5 and up.
As stated, the riddles are fun, and they encourage young kids to get used to punching buttons on a calculator.But beware of getting this book for kids in grades 5 and above, since the math equations work only if a child mindlessly follows the operations in the order listed.For students learning the rules for "order of operations" (like my son's 5th grade), these equations are not in proper form.For example:"I can be big.I can be small.But big or small, I weigh nothing at all.What am I?"The answer says:20 x 25 - 37 x 8.You can get the intended answer (3704 or HOLE) by following the steps exactly as written.But if you read this equation by the mathematical rules learned in pre-algebra or higher, you'll know that all multiplication steps should be done BEFORE addition steps and you'll get the wrong answer!You'll get (20 x 25) - (37 x 8) = 500 - 296 = 204.My son's calculator is programmed to follow these math rules, so it gives the wrong (but mathematically right!) answer.Few kids (or adults!) will care about my objection, but I wanted to point it out so that math teachers don't contradict their own lessons by using these riddles for classroom fun.Of course, you can steal the riddle and re-write the equations using parentheses to be mathematically accurate (as I did)!(20 x 25 - 37) x 8 = 3704 or HOLE.

Want to show your kids or students just how fun math can be?Students of all ages will thoroughly enjoy finding the answers to these crzay riddles by doing the math problems, then turning the calculator upside down to read the answer.This is a great item to keep in the car with a calculator to keep kids busy while on a long trip or running errands.You'll wish there were more of these books when you finish the final riddle. ...

This book was too basic, and it hopped around too much.I am still looking for a good "how to" book on using these calculators.I guess I would have preferred a workbook of problems.Perhaps a workbook would help me harness the full power of a financial calculator.

2-0 out of 5 stars Tries to cover too many bases.
Every book is worth something, this one included. However, you need to get specific in a book as to the calculating device covered. In this book the author seems to be trying to expand her market by covering way too many devices, devices that are in conflict with each other as to keystrokes and the like. And, we dont need anyone to tell us how to make "Effective Use of a Financial Calculator": nobody has "the" answers on this point.
If you have the HP-12C--a very competent device--, consider Mr. Tirone's "Professional Real Estate Problem Solving Using the HP-12C" as well as Mr. Coffin's "Easy Course" on the HP-12C. If you use the HP-17BII (I have this calculator and love it) and if you work in real estate or just want to strut some things on the device, consider Mr. Tirone's "Professional Real Estate... HP-17BII" along with Mr. Coffin's "Easy Course" on the HP-17BII.
As far as trying to master or even learn one of the TI financial calculators, "get real": save your $$ and your time: get the HP-12C or the HP-17BII or possibly the HP-19BII. You will never go wrong with any of these devices.

2-0 out of 5 stars Word of Warning
I purchased this book with the intention of enhancing, believe it or not, my efficiency on a financial calculator.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU HAVE A HP 10B, HP 17BII OR A TI BAII PLUS.

I didn't so it was fairly ineffective, you can pick up little tips here and there but you are better of having a good read of the calculators owners manual.

3-0 out of 5 stars This book is average at best.
This book is average at best. I was expecting to see more visual aids (ie graphs, etc) to help explain the formulas. It's not real bad and you can find all of this information on the Internet. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Book!
From my opinion this is the best book for those of us who are confused on the use of our financial calculator.It is a 100% practical book with 186 pages of step by step keystrokes followed by a 215 question workbook with answers.The book supports the following calculators with their specific keystrokes:
HP 17BII
HP 12C
HP 10BII
TI BA II Plus
Sharp EL 733A

I used this book to prepare for my Certified Financial Planning (CFP) exam and it was perfect.I used the 5th edition version and I'm not sure what has been added since the 4th edition.

5-0 out of 5 stars Stunned!
I am very pleased with my purchase! I was very lucky because the key-code in my book had never been used before... So I saved $50 more than everyone else in my class buying used books because they had to go online and purchase a code to enter into the online part of class.I know that won't happen all the time, but I was very excited that i was able to find my book pretty cheap @ Amazon, and then I saved exrtra money having a book with a code that had never been used!

This book is almost able to teach without a teacher.The detail in using the calculator is very helpful.

5-0 out of 5 stars Most Fun I've had with Statistics
I'm writing this book review only because I haven't seen anything under the Review section except feedback on how the item was shipped. I'm not a profession reviewer so this will be short and simple and to the point.

In short, this book is amazing! I'm a teacher at a community college who had statistics ages ago using a confusing and complicated book. Anyway, I'm picking up this book and reviewing it so I can tutor some of the students that are having trouble. I at first dreaded looking back over this stuff, but I've found this book is such an amazing and motivational read! It puts everything out there in an easy-to-understand way with real practical examples. Plus, it has examples showing you how to use a calculator, which seems easier for teachers in general instead of making students plugging-and-chugging the much more complex formulas (which there aren't too many in this simple book anyway). It says Elementary so it doesn't include Calculus based methods, but I feel it gets the points across much more effectively without all the complexity. And the author includes a fold out page of charts for your convenience which I really like. All the charts are the same ones that are in the back of the book, but this chart has all your formulas on it and so much more all consolidated in one place so it is really awesome.

Great for students and teachers alike, and an easy read for people wanting to brush up on statistics. A+

Book was in good condition.Only issue would be some writing of answers in the margins.Other notations made in the book too.Otherwise, in very good condition.The CD to go with the graphing calculator was unopened in new condition.

4-0 out of 5 stars Nice guide
This book is a nice guide covering a lot of LED- and flourcent-display calculators from many companies that I did not even know had made calculators. Consider this guide more as a glossary than a book as each calculator has a short description with the most basic features. A nice way to find out that there might be some of your redundant calculators that may be used as trading objects. Some reviewers have expressed dissapointment to the photographs of the calculators. Do not buy this guide for the photos only but use the photos as part of the guide as the photos only serves to show the differences between the enormous amount of calculators in this excellent guide. If you just want to look at calculator photos then don't buy this guide but use the World Wide Web instead or get in touch with a calculator collector like me.
Thank you to the authors - nice guide. One could allmost wish for a similar guide covering the massive variety of programmable LCD calculators and pocket computers.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great pieces of history!
If you remember all the variety that used to exist in the pocket calculator world when you were younger, this book will bring all the memories back.

I had forgotten how many of these old things there used to be. Well worth it as a reference to reflect on the old days.

3-0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointing
I just bought this to add to the collection I built up as a child before sealing it all away for a rainy day. Thought it would add something. Main problem for me is that the illustrations are so grim. I suppose you shouldn't expect too much from such a low-budget affair, but on the other hand, there is no excuse for grainy little images nowadays. So it's 2 stars. If you're strange enough to want to know all this stuff though, I guess you'll have to buy it, because the choice in this field is not exactly wide!

Editorial Review

Product Description
This book uncovers the components of driving increased marketing effectiveness and can be applied to just about every industry and marketing challenge. It demystifies how marketers can significantly improve their measurement and management infrastructure in order to improve their return on marketing effectiveness and ROI. They will be able to significantly improve their tactical and strategic decision-making and finally be able to respond to John Wannamachers' "half of my advertising is wasted; I just don't know which half." With this in hand, they will be able to avoid the budget cutting ax, become a critical component of corporate success and enhance their careers.

Even in a crowded theoretical marketing environment there are three new concepts being introduced:

1. The Marketing Effectiveness Framework to help marketers talk the talk of marketing effectiveness within marketing and with the C-Suite.
2. The Marketing Effectiveness Continuum to help marketers understand the organizational issues and change management associated with delivering long lasting enhanced marketing effectiveness.
3. The Marketing Accountability Framework to help marketers begin to collect data that is meaningful to improving their marketing effectiveness and to become accountable for their results.

It is one of the only marketing books covering the topic at a global level. It includes a great number of specific case studies from North America, Asia, Europe and Africa. The cases cover the following industries: Telecommunications, consumer packaged goods, home repair services, travel, utilities, software, restaurants, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and others. It can also be used to support marketing education at the university level.

Whether the reader is a marketer, business analyst, C-level executive, this book will help them to understand the key issues surrounding the measurement of marketing effectiveness. More than that however, is how each of the concepts can be directly applied to their marketing environment. Each of the concepts are applied to the different types of businesses (business-to-business, OEM, consumer, NGO and others) so they can quickly make them actionable. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Good practical guide to marketing accountability
This book nails many of the issues that companies face in practice making their marketing accountable for money and results.His maturity model is excellent and useful to those making the journey.Unlike his Return on Marketing Investment book, which I found lightweight, this has real substance and applicability.

4-0 out of 5 stars A Useful Overview of ROMI
Marketing Calculator provides a clear and well-organized overview of a large topic.One of the many themes that resonated with me is that it is possible to think "too big."That is, it usually will not be possible to accomplish everything you'd like to in one shot on the first attempt.Many ROMI projects can founder because they lack a realistic focus.

While the book will be most useful to readers new to this topic, it will also serve as a refresher and quick reference for those with experience in this area.It includes a range of useful case studies and is very practical and "how to."

4-0 out of 5 stars Marketing ROI and Social Media ROI are tightly coupled
I've started working with Guy on an ROI of social media marketing series and took the time to get / read his book.

It's very insightful and well written and Guy knows this space pretty well.Recommended if an ROI in your marketing is what your after.
