TI-89 Graphing Calculator For Dummies:

The title doesn't mention it, but it covers the TI-89 Titanium (which I have), the TI-92 Plus and the Voyage 200, all of which use the same operating system. The 92 and 200 have QWERTY keyboards, and I now wish I had purchased one of them instead.

The examples that are shown are good, but for much less complicated problems...not dealing w/indexes and exponents at the same... more info
