<p>what kind of calculator is best for computer engineering??</p>
<p>TI-89 Titanium?</p>
<p>none?</p>
<p>It depends on the college. My college generally only allows non-programmable calculators on exams, and classes usually use computer software packages (Matlab, Mathematica etc) for computations beyond basic arithmetic. But we also don’t have an electrical engineering program…</p>
<p>Most college-level engineering calc problems only require a scientific calculator. The only problems that require a better one are problems that need to be solved on a computer.</p>
<p>i have the ti-89… will that be allowed on most of my exams?</p>
<p>It will depend on the college and the professor.</p>
<p>It depends on the professor. My calculus class, we’re not allowed to use a calculator. So far, I have not needed a graphing calculator at all.</p>
<p>I know that for my electrical engineering class that computer engineers have to take as well a TI-89 was invaluable. Definitely worth the money.</p>
<p>your brain?</p>
<p>HP 50G</p>
<p>HP 48(50 included) series calculators have always killed every TI has put out. Its a pretty well know fact that way more students use TI’s, but real world engineers usually always use HP’s. When I was a undergrad In the engineering labs id always get into these kid of fights with other students. There was always the TI fans and then the HP fans. Well no matter who was a fan of what, the HP’s always beat the TI’s in pure computation. I was always able to do factorials in the thousands greater than the 89 Titanium and was able to compute integrals the ti’s couldn’t touch. </p>
<p>I post over on this newsgroup from time to time and enjoy the wealth of info. [Discussions</a> - comp.sys.hp48 | Google Groups](<a href=“http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.hp48/topics]Discussions”>http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.hp48/topics)</p>
<p>In all honesty though, you are better off just getting one of the scientific calculators your state allows on PE and FE exams. They surly dont allow either of the graphing calculators, so id get this and use it as a tool and master it.</p>
