Here’s some info for anyone who wants to add a little more fun and functionality to their boring old TI graphing calculator. Calculators have come a long way over the years and aren’t just used for crunching numbers anymore. Almost every high school math class requires you to purchase one of these expensive graphing devices, that you will probably only use for only a couple of years.

So I started looking for some good reading material that could help me get familiar with iPhone programming, as well as let me know what I would be getting myself in to.
