So, I spent some of my free time over the last few days (not much though) working on a quick overview of how to do regressions and data plots on a TI-83, TI-83+, or TI-84 for science people who haven’t used a graphing calculator much.

If anyone’s interested, you can find it right here. It’s an interesting problem trying to balance the amount of information to give with the desire to not over-complicate things. Hopefully it ended up okay. (If you’re looking at it, the button texts (”[2ND]“) are supposed to be links that will show the location of the button on the calculator, but I haven’t done that yet, so the links go nowhere.)

I suppose the idea is that it could be possible to write a series of tutorials for how to do some of the more simple things on the calculator and post them in one spot. If anyone’s interested in helping out, leave a comment. Also, if you have any suggestions for what I’ve got now or future formatting, please leave a comment as well. Thanks!
