<p>This may seem like a silly question, but I'm just a USC hopeful in my senior year of high school, and teachers are constantly telling me that graphing calculators are generally not allowed in college.</p>
<p>Does this apply to USC as well?</p>
<p>I would say classes are split about evenly between allowing nearly any calculator(within reason) to prohibiting all calculators, with a few weird exceptions with classes only allowing 4-function calculators.</p>
<p>I would feel fine bringing only a graphing calculator (that's all I have, plus my laptop), just don't be so attached to it you can't work math without it.</p>
<p>^Yes. Definitly know how to do derivatives by hand.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks for the input!</p>
<p>What about for chem classes? Are we allowed a graphing calculator, a basic scientific calculator, or none at all? At this point, I am referring to Chemistry 105a.</p>
<p>For chem you are allowed a very, very basic calculator. It can have no memory function of any kind. They will tell you specifically what kinds you can use on the first day of class. Most people had to go out and buy one, but they were really cheap.</p>
