<p>i can't find one, and nowhere near my house sells it.</p>
<p>but i have a scientific calculaotr which does all the function like sin, sod, tan, and their reverse function and all.</p>
<p>how much does my chance to get a 5 on AP Calculus decreases if i don't have a 'graphic' calculator??</p>
<p>It's actually called a "graphing" calculator. It graphs for you but I don't have calc so don't know.</p>
<p>You probably should be fine if you have done the cirriculum without it. Don't stress yourself :)</p>
<p>actually, I believe College board doesn't allow non-graphing scientific calculators to be used because they don't want some students to have a large advantage. And yes, not having a graphing calculator will put you at a disadvantage; it would definitely hurt your chances of obtaining a 5. Just borrow a graphing calculator from a friend or a teacher, because they won't allow you to use the scientific (unless your proctor doesn't know what he or she is doing, and fails to check).</p>
<p>On this page is a list of calculators that you can use:</p>
<p>oh, can't believe i wrote it 'GRAPHIC'
how stupid lol</p>
<p>I haven't been using graphing calculators much in calc either. Although I just got an 89-Ti, and I think it really might help in a clinch.. for: complicated integrals where I'd normally need to remember a bunch of trig formulas, graphing to check answers, and also preventing stupid math errors.</p>
<p>hmm...one of the few frustrating things of CC is that they don't have an edit function</p>
<p>A calculator is required for the calculus test, for instance, questions involving area and volume routinely require you to find complex functions intercepts, this is made easy with the solve(..) variants or a graph.</p>
<p>Also why wouldn't you take advantage of the definitive integrals and quick differentiation?</p>
<p>i've been studying in South Korea, where nobody requires nor feels the need of calculators. So, yes, we memorized all those dirty, complicated trig function equations. </p>
<p>and i'm not trying to say that i'm deferring some kind of advantage. who would do that? </p>
<p>the problem is that even though i can go out and buy a ti-89 TITANIUM today, i have only two days until test day, and it'll be the first time to use a calculator where you can input complicated equations and stuff.
i was just thinking it would better to check over and over the equations i've memorized, reduce as many mistakes as possible, and prepare to calculate REALLY fast.</p>
<p>btw, the calculator i'm planning to bring is a really old Casio one, my mom and dad used it when they were in college. Is only has basic functions like sig, cos, tan, square root, etc. nothing near entering factors and letting the calculator do everything else. Will they still stop me from bringing this calculator??</p>
<p>ti-89 TITANIUM is like a mini-computer, haha, but u can draw 3-D graph, which is awesome~</p>
<p>i really enjoy ti-83, simple and useful</p>
<p>*** there is so an edit function dude</p>
<p>really?! i can't see it on this page..-_-</p>
<p>the only 'edit' i see is the one that appears ONLY right after i write somethin.
i don't any 'edit' on anything else.
and even if there is an edit function somewhere. don't u think it's ******* confusing that it's not somewhere on my thread???</p>
