Let's discuss graphing calculators. (I.E, anyone with issues come here to grouse and be groused at)
I miss my old TI-85. I forget what happened to it. But once you get used to the 89 you can't go back.Also I feel like I'm the only person who prefers the regular 84/89 to the Silver/Titanium. I can't really explain it; something about the curve of the calculator and the layout and feel of the buttons makes it feel like a toy.
I can't remember which TI I had, it was quite a few years ago. When I got done with school I gave it to one of my least wealthy neighbours who was in high school. I sometimes wish I had kept it, just because I sometimes feel the need to use something a little more complex than windows calculator.
The high school I went to wouldn't allow anything above a TI-84 because they believed everyone would cheat in math classes. I liked the feel of the TI-83 better anyway.
Being in a third world country involves having a graphing calculator as a bloody status symbol.
>>3307I've lived in a third world country for years. It's standard school fare.
>>3298I once found a way to store precalc/trig equations on a two-line scientific calculator; as far as I know, nobody else in the world has caught on to that. Really, if a student wants to cheat, they will find a way.
