Re: TI-92

WOW!!!!

Just think of the possibilities.

What new mathematical ideas will students discover.
Ideas that they could never discover using paper and pencil.

How much deeper will be their understanding of
mathematical concepts when those concepts are
not buried by pages intermediate algebraic results.

How much more mathematics can be done in a given
period of time.

Centuries of paper and pencil algorithms can be discarded
in favor of more modern techniques that can be efficiently
implemented in technology.

Every student has his own personal electronic blackboard
on which he can experiment, test his own new ideas,
discover........
