This book contains over 80 new SAT math problems that can be solved with a CAS calculator.
35 problems you can solve in 15 seconds
18 problems you can solve in 20 seconds
30 problems you can solve in 30 seconds
That's over 80 problems in less that half an hour!
If you don't like math, let the calculator do it! This book shows you how.
If you don't like math, but you would like to understand how to do it, this book can help you. Every problem contains a both a calculator and a non-calculator solution, with detailed explanations of all the steps. Work through the problems both ways: with a calculator and with a pencil. SAT problem types repeat. Do every problem in this book twice and you will Jump Start your SAT Math.
If you like math and think a CAS calculator wouldn't help you, think again. With a CAS calculator, you can save time and avoid careless mistakes. You can use it to check your work.
While not every math problem in the SAT Math calculator section is a calculator problem, CAS technology can be quite helpful for certain problems and situations. A major challenge of the Redesigned test is to carry out more complex algebraic manipulations in relatively little time. The new math areas especially suitable for CAS techniques and covered in this book include: equations of circles, linear and non-linear systems of equations, inequalities, absolute value equalities and inequalities, systems of linear inequalities, maximum and minimum function problems, and polynomial functions. The problems in the book cover a wide range of difficulty levels, with special tips for the new style of word problems. No previous experience with a CAS calculator is presupposed.
The questions in this book were test-solved with the TI-Nspire CX CAS operating system version 4.2.0, the most recent version at the time of this writing.
The author holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University and has over 35 years of teaching experience.
