<p>heyy what calculator should i get for math 20a? thanks!</p>
<p>I got a TI 84 plus for 65 at office depot, you should look into that cuz it's pretty cheap.</p>
<p>any graphing calculator will do...but you should also get a scientific calculator for some chem classes...</p>
<p>There will be instances in Calculus where they won't allow you to use a graphing calculator. Graping calculators can derive and integrate for you, so obviously they aren't allowed on tests. I got a TI-30 just for tests.</p>
<p>Also some science classes will not allow graphing calculators because you can store written information on it. That's a no-no.</p>
<p>yeah I have a similar question. do i need a ti89 for math20b and chem6a?</p>
<p>@ Roflkeke, I thought you can't use calcs on math tests period?</p>
<p>If not, I'll get myself a TI 30.</p>
<p>There is no way in hell they will force you to do hard arithmetic by hand. Also exponents are popular, you can't get by without a calculator for those.</p>
<p>For my Math 20A & 20B classes, calculators were not allowed. I don't know about all of the math professors, but the majority of them don't allow calculators (neither scientific nor graphing). I know Eggers' series, which many math professors follow, don't allow them.</p>
<p>I was able to use a calculator in both 20d and 20f. 20c wouldn't let me, though. I just used a ti-83, nothing fancy. If you are relying on the calculator to do actual calculus for you, you're missing the point of the class.</p>
<p>iran, a ti-89 cannot be required for lower division math classes.</p>
<p>....but it was required for AP CALC BC</p>
<p>You were allowed to use a TI-8X on Calculus tests? Wow, that is a bad teacher.</p>
<p>oh god can you sound more like a whiny high schooler, you're starting college classes in a week!</p>
<p>dude i know that, but the 89 was useable on the AP TEST and some of the tests in AP CALC, it just helped to understand things when i couldnt do it myself</p>
<p>lol so you know you're a whiny high schooler at heart? and stop capitalizing ap calc like it's a big deal, it's just a way of a company called the collegeboard to steal money from naive kids like you</p>
<p>that was my point, im saying that if ti89's were a help in ap calc, then im sure i'll need on in math 20b</p>
<p>no that wasn't your point, you never had a point. stop bringing up ap calc.</p>
<p>the subject at hand is a need for calculators in math classes. i just told u i that i liked having one in ap calc, thus, under the laws of logic, im ASSUMING i'd need one for my benefit in math 20b.</p>
<p>now shut up and read "dummy's guide to rationale thinking"</p>

<p>You assumed. You were given the answer. Yet you continue to argue.</p>
<p>I never got the answer</p>
