Casio fx-CG50 for High School Students

I am admitting right up front that I am a fan of David Getling's calculator books. He shows calculator screens, key sequences, and writes with an engaging style. And most importantly, he covers the most significant features of the calculator. The Casio fx-CG50 grapher has become my daily driver over my TI-84 Plus CE because of its better features and bigger screen, and David's newest book is my steady guide in becoming a master in using Casio's latest entry in color graphers. Did I mention that David's latest book is also in color?

You are on your own when buying the Casio graphing calculator. Casio is absolutely no help. A "Quick Start Guide" comes with the calculator. But is give very little information on calculator operation. Contacting Casio is a waste of time. They have a chat and it is worthless. If you ask go to the Casio site and ask a question I have yet to receive an answer. I found out by mistake there is a manual that can be downloaded. The best place to get operational information is You Tube. This is quite good but the subject matter is fragmented. There are many books out on the TI calculators but none that I have found on the Casio graphing calculators. The CG50 calculator will do amazing things. The problem is trying to figure out how to operate the calbulator.

I thought I bought the actual calculator. Who even needs the book
