The content was designed with great care to be easily readable no matter what the screen size, resolution or type of device you are using for your reader Professor Schroeder says: Through this Guide, learn how to use your HP Prime calculator or Apple, Android, Window app to help you learn Algebra. This Guide covers your device, whether you have the touch interface handheld calculator or touch interface iPhone, iPad, Android Phone, Android Tablet, Chromebook, or Window Tablet Free or Pro app. The Guide starts with basic Algebra rules and progresses to how Algebra rules are used in Calculus. You can readily use this Guide if you are in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Introductory Algebra, Algebra II, Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Precalculus or any higher course where Algebra is a prerequisite. The calculator’s screens are used in the introduction of a new topic.The nice thing is the app’s screen and interface is identical to the calculator. The screen allows you to input multiple entries, calculate their results, or perform graphs using traditional math form. Through its examples and its accompanying exercise, this guide provides a Rosetta Stone effect with the language of math. Each example and its quick-check interactive exercise show both the HP Prime and the traditional step-by-step solution.A powerful feature that you will want to learn is the creation of global libraries and Application Library apps. This Guide illustrates the steps needed for creating a global library or Application Library app and using the library’s commands or the Application Library app’s features. Global libraries and this Guide’s technique allow you to define a single or multiple one-line functions on a page. Global one-line functions can be any formula found in a book, new tool commands, or a set of functions that help with the understanding of complex math concepts. There are examples of all of these in this Guide. Learn how to create and run both kinds of Application Library apps, Ones that run from the Application Library screens and ones that run from the Home view or CAS view. Use this Guide and the HP Prime CAS technology to check your solutions and submit assignments that are error free. When you happen to have difficulties with a step, you can use your HP Prime CAS device to help you work that step until you master it.
