What is the Calculus Tools Application? The Calculus Tools application (App) is a Concept software application for the TI-89 / TI-92 Plus. Concept software applications are calculator software application prototypes that demonstrate a new concept area. The Calculus Tools App extends the built-in power of your TI-89 / TI-92 Plus by providing more specialized functionality.
