<p>I will be a freshman in the fall and will have to take business and econ 100. My current calculator, which I think is a TI-83 is broken. Anyway, I was wondering what kind of calculator I should buy. I am also taking a logic class, although I doubt calculators really matter with logic.</p>

<p>ti89 :) its magic</p>

<p>I LOVE THE NAME OF THIS THREAD! yea doubt you'll need a calc for the logic class. Be wary that a lot teachers don't allow ti-89's because of their power.</p>

<p>^^^</p>

<p>That sounds funny for some reason. The power comment seems like the TI-89 is scary. lol.</p>

<p>But yea, a lot of profs/teachers don't allow TI-89s.</p>

<p>Why are they not allowed?</p>

<p>Because they know you can use programs to save equations to cheat on tests.</p>

<p>In my accounting classes, we're provided with calculators, but they're the cheapest **** ever because their buttons are stiff to press. It slows me down and I get paranoid that I didn't type in the numbers correctly so I do everything twice.</p>

<p>TI-89's contain a vast amount of power-- if harnessed, we may no longer be in an energy crisis. lol.</p>

<p>No, in Calculus/Diff EQ classes, the 89 can do a lot of work for you that teachers are trying to test you on-- thats why they aren't allowed</p>
