Python for the Nspire: Powerful Python programs and games for the TI-Nspire CX II technology calculator

Python for the TI-Nspire™ CX II technology calculator is a collection of real-world Python programs written explicitly for this device. Because of the nature of Python, these programs are short, easy to read, easy to enter into the calculator, and most importantly easy to understand – even for beginners.

Why Python?

Python is the world’s most popular programming language. It is an ideal language for handheld calculators. The Python programming language is non-proprietary, so it runs everywhere, even on desktop and laptop computers with only minor modifications from what you’ll find in this book, and even then only in a very few cases.

Python handles number crunching well, and with its lists, strings, and other data structures, it powerfully handles a very wide variety of programming tasks. But perhaps the biggest advantage of learning Python via your programmable calculator is that this knowledge will be applicable and useful no matter what computers or systems you might work with in the future. Learn it once and you’ll have a new life skill of great value.

The TI-Nspire™ CX II technology calculator is a very powerful learning tool, and with the addition of Python its mind-expanding capabilites are truly awesome!
