Virtual graphing calculator on your computer; TI
If you're interested, I found a TI (Texas Instruments) emulator/virtual
calculator you can use on your computer. I used it, and it is the same as the
physical TI-83+ and TI-89. Graphing works just as well too.
Here's a link to the page: http://www.videomathteacher.com/virtual … lator.html
... and a direct download link: http://www.videomathteacher.com/uploade … Folder.zip
I tried it, it's a small download. Unzip the file, click on "vti.exe" to run it.
I am using it for my College Algebra homework right now.
Oh, and IT IS FREE. (And comes with the source code too.)

Re: Virtual graphing calculator on your computer; TI
Cool, but... is this actually from TI? And it's not hosted on TI's website? I dunno, that seems kind of sketchy to me. Sure it's legit?

Re: Virtual graphing calculator on your computer; TI
It was not make by TI. It just uses an image of one because people are
familiar with how a TI calculator works. I used it, and it works fine.
I am unsure about the fact that it's a free open source program, because the
real calculators cost a lot of money. But I see it as a helpful tool, especially if
you have a laptop that you can take with you. I'm too poor to get an
expensive calculator, so I saw this and gave it a try.
Its template looks like they only scanned the face of the calculator and used
that as a template for the program. Cheap way to do it, but it works.
