ABSTRACT

Finite Mathematics is one of the main components of the core mathematics curriculum at many colleges and universities. Although the graphing calculator is usually an integral part of the course, there are many concepts (such as set theory and the simplex method) that are both visual in nature, as well as highly interactive, yet not easy to adapt to a graphing calculator.
