Very interesting! I'm assuming this was in reference to either the 34C or 15C?

TI had a number of excellent "Sourcebooks" and whatnot explaining different problems and how to solve them. Pretty much all of them are worth a casual read, particularly the "Sourcebook for Programmable Calculators" if you've got a 58 or 59. (A couple of large programs require a 59.) There was also the rather nice "TI-34 Computer Math Book" aimed at students.

Yes, the HP-34C.
