The Calculator Comic Book! Dave Prochnow

Cue lightning; a blinding flash; electrodes begin to glow... Some students mistakenly think that today's calculator is really a tale of two devices: the "obsolete device;" replaced by the commonplace smartphone and the "complicated device;" that's too difficult to use. NEWS FLASH--most of the national college admissions testing centers will NOT allow you to use a smartphone while taking a test. I know right, that is so like unreal. Furthermore, learning the calculator's operation is EZ when you have the right tutor. And Professor F. Stein has over two centuries' worth of pedagogical experience thwarting villager insurrection, err, teaching calculator math to students. What's that? You can't gain admission into the University of Transylvania Mathematics Department. Well put down those torches and pitchforks, the Prof and I've got you covered. "The Calculator Comic Book!" is the definitive source for learning everything there is to know about calculators--the F. Stein way. In 100 pages worth of cartoon calculator mayhem, you'll learn how to: solve complex equations, master graphing calculators, practice for national college admission exams, prevent villagers from storming the castle dormitories, write powerful programs, and play practical jokes on creepy kids next to you in class. Oh, I get it. You're not sure you can handle this book, right? Well, get that notion outta your head. Who's this book for: students, teachers, engineers, scientists (mad or otherwise), monsters, and mathematicians. but, especially, this book is for you! See "The Calculator Comic Book!" IS for you. For less than the price of two pumpkin spice latte blended drinks (Grande, natch), this book will open a vast storehouse of knowledge that exists inside every handheld calculator. Oh, and, "The Calculator Comic Book!" is fun(ny), too.
