<p>It’s 400 per semester. Note that engineering students get an extra 2000 pages per semester in CAEN labs, as well as an extra 300 pages of ITCS printing, for a total of 2700 pages per semester.</p>
<p>yosup, i used it for my calculus class in HS and had no problem with it. </p>
<p>either way, im not spending $ on a new calculator, i think my 83 is good enough.</p>
<p>Ok good luck, I’m sure you’ll be fine. I only bought my 89 because my school requires it for some reason…</p>
<p>Yosup, I find that hard to believe (that it’s really necessary). Most of the people went through Calc BC in my school with a TI-83.</p>
<p>Umm, don’t listen to that poster. I had a TI-82 for Calc BC and Calc 3 and 4 here and it was fine. yosup your HS math department is messed up.</p>
<p>Lol, a TI-82 wouldn’t even work for my 8th grade math class (required 83 or 84). </p>
<p>Sorry, I didn’t mean to give anyone bad advice, but I go to KAMSC, and I gotta get a TI-89 for AP calculus (funny thing is, I’m only taking AB too). I found out it’s possible to to not buy one, but they highly suggest it, and our teacher said we’ll struggle greatly using a TI-83 or 84. It’s basically required. </p>
<p>It works out anyways, because I’m passing on my 83 to my brother and I’m getting a new calculator :D!</p>
<p>lol @ ur teacher’s statements. HS calculus is about all about understanding; 83 or 89, it doesn’t matter</p>
<p>You can’t use a TI 89 on the AP exam though.</p>
<p>^yes u can…
wow we’re so off topic</p>
<p>Actually Entertainer’s right. It’s technically on the list of banned calculators for the AP exams (but not the SATs), but no one ever checks.</p>
<p>Also, I’ve done a decent amount of math, and never really found a “need” for the 89. It helps a lot, (aka equation solver is really nice), but you should be able to solve everything with just an 84.</p>
<p>Really? On Wikipedia, it says it’s allowed. I know Wikipedia can easily be edited, but its always been accurate for me.</p>
<p>When I first bought my 89, I checked on college board. Could be the policy has changed.</p>
<p>In my AP Calc class we weren’t allowed to use TI-89.</p>
<p>Maybe I was wrong. I could have sworn when I was taking the test they told me we weren’t allowed to use the TI-89 on the test. Most people just brought their 83’s and 84’s.</p>
<p>89 is definitely allowed. I like it more than the 83 because the equation solver is easier to use and you can do non-numerical integration and differentiation. It saves a lot of time on the AP test.</p>
<p>I agree with Entertainer. I thought TI-89 wasn’t allowed.</p>
<p>I have a separate question now… what kind of calc is best for math 115? would TI-89 make it a lot easier?</p>
<p>In Calc BC we just used an 83/84. Though we never used it on tests, our teacher just showed us a couple of things we could do, but it was never really used.</p>
<p>Have not known of universities providing free calculators, only labtop grants to all students ( like Michigan State University and Northern Michigan University). If University of Michigan- Ann Arbor provide a labtop grant, perhaps you could discuss with them if your able to use a certain amount towards your purchase of a graphing calculator ( like TI-83/84).</p>
<p>It’s “laptop”</p>
<p>
Oh wow, I mean laptop. For some reason I always pronounce it as labtop , and groceries as gro-sher-ries ( though ofcourse I know how to stay laptop and groceries) etc…, I hear some people say it’s part of a Michigan accent, I don’t know.</p>
