• Based on Professor Schroeder’s 27 years of experience and his passion to help EVERYONE readily “get” and have confidence in their ability to do math • Learn how high school, college, and non-traditional college students, regardless of skill level, have taken advantage of the HP Prime Free app and HP Prime Calculator to more readily learn math • Use this Guide to turn stress and fear about math course requirements into a “can do” attitude • Use your iPhone, iPad, Android Phone, Android Tablet, Chromebook, or Window Tablet to run the HP Prime Free or HP Prime Pro app • After just two weeks of study you will be competent with the calculator or the Apple, Android, Window app • Students who never got an ‘A’ on an exam who use Professor Schroeder’s proven method often start to receive them • Use your success with the calculator and identical app for your entire education—one calculator and identical app for all your future high school or college needs • Learn shortcuts and common sense guidelines to solve the Algebra problems that otherwise frustrate and block so many students • Learn how to simplify and solve: factoring, parenthesis elimination, signed numbers, negative exponents, radical simplification, collecting like terms, calculations with units, complex fractions, addition and subtraction of fractional expressions, factoring of negative and fractional exponent expressions, and more … • Learn alternate ways to attain algebraic building blocks, which often prevent students from progressing • Keep this Guide on your phone as a handy pocket reference. The content was designed with great care to be easily readable no matter what the screen size, resolution or type of device you are using for your reader Professor Schroeder says: Through this Guide, learn how to use your HP Prime calculator or Apple, Android, Window app to help you learn Algebra. This Guide covers your device, whether you have the touch interface handheld calculator or touch interface iPhone, iPad, Android Phone, Android Tablet, Chromebook, or Window Tablet Free or Pro app. The Guide starts with basic Algebra rules and progresses to how Algebra rules are used in Calculus. You can readily use this Guide if you are in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Introductory Algebra, Algebra II, Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Precalculus or any higher course where Algebra is a prerequisite. The calculator’s screens are used in the introduction of a new topic.The nice thing is the app’s screen and interface is identical to the calculator. The screen allows you to input multiple entries, calculate their results, or perform graphs using traditional math form. Through its examples and its accompanying exercise, this guide provides a Rosetta Stone effect with the language of math. Each example and its quick-check interactive exercise show both the HP Prime and the traditional step-by-step solution.A powerful feature that you will want to learn is the creation of global libraries and Application Library apps. This Guide illustrates the steps needed for creating a global library or Application Library app and using the library’s commands or the Application Library app’s features. Global libraries and this Guide’s technique allow you to define a single or multiple one-line functions on a page. Global one-line functions can be any formula found in a book, new tool commands, or a set of functions that help with the understanding of complex math concepts. There are examples of all of these in this Guide. Learn how to create and run both kinds of Application Library apps, Ones that run from the Application Library screens and ones that run from the Home view or CAS view. Use this Guide and the HP Prime CAS technology to check your solutions and submit assignments that are error free. When you happen to have difficulties with a step, you can use your HP Prime CAS device to help you work that step until you master it. Review: Good study - Liked all Review: Good illustrations and key pad locations - Good illustrations and key pad locations. Examples are very good practice for learning key pad lay out. It would be great if this guide was expanded to include the calculus features and practice examples.

Good illustrations and key pad locations
Good illustrations and key pad locations. Examples are very good practice for learning key pad lay out. It would be great if this guide was expanded to include the calculus features and practice examples.

The poor grammar is killing me... EDIT: I figured it out.
While my original review still stands, I've finally figured out why this book is so 'hit and miss'. I's a copy and past from his previous book on the TI/Nspire, with new HP Prime specific additions. (There are still typos with 'left-over' TI/Nspire references sprinkled throughout.) When you get past the unedited/painful portion(s) containing the new Prime info, you actually get to well edited, easy to read sections on algebra fundamentals. My advice is not to lose heart at the beginning of the book, but to make the slog past the first/new section. When you get to the older material from the previous book, it's significantly easier going. Original review: While the book tries to present some in-depth education about a calculator that is by it's very nature, quite complex, it would be considerably easier to follow if the professor would learn some remedial grammar. (...Or have the book heavily edited by someone who already knows.) The order of subjects might indeed be a little hard to follow, but learning XCAS based software really has no 'flow' or 'order' to speak of .... so I don't feel it fair to criticize the author for what is a very subjective choice about his chosen order of concepts. What is unforgivable is the number of typos, punctuation, and grammar errors. When a university professor doesn't even know the correct usage difference between the words 'then' and 'than', it seriously undermines his credibility as an educator .... and makes the material much harder to read / slog through. After I've thoroughly gone through the book, I will see if the content manages to eventually 'rise above' the noise level. If so, I will revise this review accordingly.

Better off sticking with the official HP Prime user's manual
I found this book impossible to read and gave up just 20 or so pages in. This is not so much a tutorial or a textbook, but more a series of bullet-pointed notes. I suspect that perhaps they are the notes the author uses to teach his math class, and much of it doesn't really make sense outside of that classroom context. Unlike a tutorial format, many of the points seem to be made out of the order of the actual calculations. Most of the book is not written in complete sentences, but in a truncated style that is yet strangely verbose given that the operations are all described in prose rather than shown in visual steps. Keys, for example, are all referred to by names made up by the author rather than simply showing the icon for the key. Many steps are simply referred to as "we did this" without really explaining how "this" was done. I suspect there is a lot of good material here. Flipping through the book, it appears to get into some interesting real-world application examples later on. Unfortunately, I will not have the patience to get that far with this writing style.

The book is painful, but useful
The edits in this book, and the obvious references to the TI-Nspire series, make it obvious which content came first. It is a useful book, but appears to have been hacked together in haste to cover the HP Prime. It suffers a loss of readability and, for me, lacks in imparting the joy of reading a technical instruction book. This is /it/ as far as books written for the HP Prime, though. So, if you have the Prime and are looking for some additional instruction in algebra with your calculator, you may as well buy it.

Support site is down
This is a great book for using your HP Prime with an introductory course in high school. Unfortunately the author pass away on February 2025 and the support webpage is down. You will not be able to download the corresponding files mentioned in the book.

Great HP Prime calculator guide for elementary algebra!
Good value HP Prime guide for algebra fundamentals! It is a pity that there are not more books covering other areas of maths. Otherwise, a great book.
