            Texas Instrument’s new product TI-Nspire CAS carries the technology

            of the legendary TI-92 further into a new generation Math/CAS tool.

            Its innovative double-platform design (handheld + 100 % compatible

            computer software) and the seamless integration of the various

            components (computer algebra, graphing, dynamic geometry, geometry,

            spreadsheet, notes, data collection) make it a very powerful

            teaching and learning aid for teachers and students that is unique

            on the market and has great potential.

            In this workshop participants will gently be introduced to the

            TI-Nspire CAS software and will learn how to use the product to

            perform algebraic computations, produce graphs, and generate a

            spreadsheet.
