<p>Does anyone know what the calculus professors usually use? TI-89? TI-86? I want to know before I blow money on one. Thanks.</p>
<p>TI-89 is so sick for calc .. it will integrate derive anything .. real time saver too so when ur finding critical points or anytime solving for x it will do it for you so you can just do calc and not easy timeful algebra</p>
<p>yea i used the 89 for AP calc this year. you cant go wrong with it</p>
<p>same. i used a Ti89...made me feel guilty tho...</p>
<p>i felt like i was cheating, somehow :P</p>
<p>Yeh, the TI-89 Titanium would be your best bet.</p>
<p>for my AP calc class we werent allowed to use a TI-89 because it did so many things and ppl never learned how to actually work things out. we had to use the TI-83</p>
<p>are there any rules as far as, can you use a T-83, T-89 during exams. Some schools don't allow scientific calculators for exams, they are still a great study aid though. Will give you the correct answer so you can see if you did it right.</p>
<p>how about ti83+ will that work ok?</p>
<p>ya thats what i have</p>
<p>it works, it's just that you have to do more work if you want some of the same functions of the TI-89. Which calculator you should use depends on your situation. Personally, this will be my third calculus class so I'm fairly certain that I know what's going on, but if you haven't taken calc yet go with the TI-83. With the 89 you'll never learn the basics and will become too dependent on the calculator. Otherwise the 89 is excellent.</p>
<p>do you think there will be any restrictions on which calculator we use?</p>
<p>i doubt a college would care what calculator the students use, but i cant be sure either way</p>
