<p>Are calculators allowed, discouraged, or prohibited in UF Math classes? Does it depend on the instructor or are there guidelines for the different levels?</p>
<p>Depends on the instructor. In general, no. If you are a math major, there are plenty of courses where it won't help at all (for proof based courses).</p>
<p>What about calc 1 and 2? can we use a claculator in those classes?</p>

<p>You cant use a calculator. At least in the calc classes I have taken (calc 1&2). I heard from friend she couldn't use one in calc 3. Also precal doesn't use calculators either, from what I hear.</p>
<p>I couldn't use one for calc2, but my calc3 professor didn't care (not that we needed one, lol).</p>
<p>You can't use one for MAC1147 [Pre-Cal] either.</p>
<p>How slack is UF on letting you take MAC2311 if you havent take MAC1140 or higer. I missed placing out of it by 1 question on my placement test and I alreadt took precal in my senior year.</p>
<p>They are trained to advise you not to take it, but they don't care. Just add it on ISIS and if there is a hold, just email or visit a adviser to remove it.</p>
<p>Well I have MAC2311 down for fall on my schedule on ISIS and nothing is stopping me (no hold or anything) so I just wanna make sure that when fall time comes around nothing happens. For summer I have MAC1147 (which may be why I am ok for MAC2311 for fall) but I am going to change it to MAC1114 (trig) so will that affect anything? And if I change my summer schedule will the class schedules offered still be the same as they are in the catalog they gave us at preview?</p>
