I was just listening to this podcast the other day: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/empire-of-the-sum/

It tells the story of how TI got into the calculator market and the domination it achieved in the US classrooms (+ other interesting tidbits).

Asianometry has a good ~2 month old video on TI that goes into it's history as a chip maker, how it got into calculators and consumer products, and where it stands today.
