<p>Hey guys! Im going into engineering and was wondering what everyone thought about the TI-84 silver vs. the TI-89 titanium...i kno the titanium is better for engineering students, but will the teachers allow it? Thanks!</p>
<p>In the Calc classes I took at a college, the teacher would put the answers to Integrals and Derivatives questions to level the playing field on the tests. You just had to show work at arriving to those answers.</p>
<p>thats fair! ti-89s would make it 10x easier...</p>
<p>so for engineering, my ti-83 wont cut it?</p>
<p>I've gone through linear algebra with a TI-84 and no problems, I'm just too lazy to learn how to use the TI-89. Probably will force myself when I go to college.</p>
<p>83s are handicapped with their low memory...i looked at my friends silver...doesnt leave much room for programs either...89 would be the best choice</p>
<p>I don't remember ever really needing calculator for 53 or 54 except for basic arithmetic stuff.</p>
<p>No calculators allowed in most lower div. math courses, FYI.</p>
<p>are you serious unlimited? good thing my calc teacher doesnt really let us use ours either. he warned that there would be teachers in college that won't let us use graphing calcs.</p>
<p>College exams test your knowledge and understanding of the theory and not your memorization skills or how well you can punch numbers into a calculator. Not all exam problems are similar to the homework. And you might scrape by without a clear grasp of the theory but you can't solve "never before seen" problems.</p>
<p>no calculators allowed....*** is an 84?</p>
