<p>What classes require calculators and what calculators do most students own?</p>
<p>I don't think any class requires calculators, although of course they do make life quite a bit easier.</p>
<p>You will probably be best off bringing a simple scientific (5.111/2 won't let you use anything better) as well as a graphing calculator of your choice. I have a TI-83+ which has served me just fine; my boyfriend wants a TI-89 so he doesn't have to do integrals anymore. Whatever grapher you bring, make sure you learn how to use it!</p>
<p>the only class that has allowed calculators on tests so far was 3.091.</p>
<p>89 is useful sometimes on homework. you don't need one yourself as you'll be able to find one around whenever necessary.</p>
<p>no classes 'require' calculators, many classes allow them on tests, but they are never neccessary, I tend not to bother to bring a calculator to the test even if its allowed
but I recommend bringing your TI-89 if you can use it, otherwise a TI-83+ is fine too
as your life at MIT progresses you're probably more likely to be using a computer math package like MATLAB</p>
<p>I have a TI-89 Tit and it's not working!!! Oh well, I'll try to fix it before getting to MIT</p>
<p>I <3 my 89.</p>
<p>I rarely actually USE it, but I <3 it nonetheless....</p>
