I’m still in high school and I have a TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition, and for my AP Calc BC class I’m finding that it’s sub-par when compared with the calculators of my peers. I feel like a TI-89 or an HP Prime would help out a lot, and they’re allowed on the AP exam, but I want to know whether I need an 89 or a Prime for college (going to Computer Science major). Are these powerful graphing calculators allowed in college math courses? Thanks!
I have the same one but I’m in high school. It’s the one with the colored screen right?
Love this thing just put in the rectangular approximation method program yesterday
I’m a first year CS student here, and I use a TI-84 and haven’t run into any trouble with it in my math of physics classes; in my math classes so far we haven’t been allowed to use a calculator on any of the exams, and in my physics class so far, the professor let us use any calculator we wanted.
That being said, I would recommend that you just keep using your TI-84; you probably won’t need any of the special features that can be found in more powerful calculators. In the event that you do want to get a TI-89, you’ll probably be able to use it for some classes, but it won’t really give you any significant advantages so it’s really up to you.
