My graphing calculator was invaluable for differential equations freshman year, but I didn't need it after that; if I'd been in a subject like EE I might have needed it for all of undergrad.

TI-83Originally posted by loinburger View Post
Real men use RPN calculators, of course. Amiright?
My university banned all calculators. Graphing or no."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

The TI-83 isn't RPN, you're thinking of the Hewlett Packards.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

To be honest, I mainly use Mathematica instead of my graphing calculator these days. I only use my 89 when Mathematica isn't available.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

I used an hp49g in highschool and had a nice hp50 for a semester before it got lost/stolen in college.
The rest of college I either used a crappy casio or did it by hand... generally any complicated graphing things I did in maple (mathmatica/mathcad).
The students younger than me in college had ti89s and I always thought they were spoiled.

No one has yet mentioned the TI-85. That's what I have. I've had it since high school and it works just fine for me. But I'm not really a fine connoisseur of these things.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

But no, the damn stupid ********* get all confused when they have to use 'D' and 'e' and whatever instead of a real number... god forbid their answer turns out to be '2pi/3De^2', what kind of godless thing is that?Indifference is BlissComment

Probably Engineering too.

I feel old.
In high school we used slide rules and were happy to have them. It was a step up from the abacus.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

What can you do on a slide rule that you can't do in your head?

I used to have a TI-83. I leant it to the evil bestfriend who ruined my life a long time ago and I'm pretty sure she never gave it back.
