This guide is an introduction to the use of a graphing calculator.  It is 
not a comprehensive guide.  The tools illustrated in this guide are 
limited to the tools needed for Math 1314 with Integrated Technology.  
The calculator references are to a Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus 
graphing calculator.  The keystroke sequences should be similar on 
other TI products, although some calculator features (such as key 
colors) may differ.  Students using graphing calculators other than TI 
calculators are advised to consult the user guide for their calculator 
brand to make any necessary modifications to the keystrokes described 
in this guide.  Most user guides are available online.
