Transient Circuit Analysis: Numeric
Describes how the differential equation plotter is used to solve the second-order circuit presented in Chapter 2 (Topic 8) by expressing it as a system of first-order differential equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transient-circuit-analysis--numeric
Amazing Appetites
Students learn to count and solve original word problems. They learn to add by combining sets and subtract when removing the set. They use manipulatives to reflect the reasoning used in problem solving.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/amazing-appetites
Electromagnetics
Describes how to use the TI-89 to solve Laplace's equation for two-dimensional electrostatic problems. The separation of variables method provides exact solutions but is restricted to specific geometries. The relaxation method is applicable to any geometry, but it provides only an approximate s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electromagnetics
Financial Calculations
Describes how to use the TI-89 to calculate interest, present worth, loan repayments and so forth. These methods utilize the time-value-of-money.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/financial-calculations
Homestead-Miami Chase Activity
