<p>The FOIL program won't work if you're dealing with 2 variables, so beware!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Also, I think that memorizing the formulas instead of using calc programs is much better. It usually saves valuable time on the test, and besides, the math section isn't that hard anyway.</p>
<p>erasmus.. it doesn't save time with stuff like distance formula especially where you're working dilligently on that stuff to avoid + or - plus. So it helps for some things. This isn't to override memorizing basic formulas but it helps for certain things that take a while and helps you avoid careless mistakes.</p>
<p>If something is in quotes, that means it shows you that when the program runs i.e. it it just references for you. like for the quad solver, it says discr = which tells u wut the discriminant is, just incase u need simplest radical form.</p>
<p>How is this cheating? You are allowed to have anything on your calculator during the Math section. Personally, all I have is quad program and foil, but anything is allowed.</p>
<p>@briguy: it gives you the sum of all numbers from 1 to a number S.</p>
<p>programming things is my favorite way of doing well on math contests. sometimes I can’t figure out the answer on very difficult questions and I just start programming like mad during the contest haha. it’s freaking awesome.</p>
<p>anyone else have requests? I feel bored and I want to write some. I write games too, but they’re too long to post.</p>
