i've got a ti-84 plus silver edition (it has usb), what programs should i dl and put onto the calculator that will be useful?

edit: anyone have something like this:
http://integrals.wolfram.com/
for my calculator?

fnint is good and all, but being able to see it done as an equation and not an approximation would be NICE
 
i've been doing that... and it would be nice to put notes on my calculator, like integrals and derivatives of trig functions, i forget some of those

edit: i mean without typing them myself
 
yeah uhmmm...when you get into college and have to take higher level maths like vector calculus and differential equations, using these progs on the AP test will really help you. you're really hurting yourself, imo, by relying on these progs for such simple calc as AB.

many highly accredited universities are looking for a 5. An trust me, after going through the AP stuff in HS, if you don't score a 5 on your ap test, you are going to struggle with differential and vector calc in college.

of course this is all just my opinion.

Not if you're in a major that doesn't need that high level of math. Depending on his college/major, if he passes the A/B now and B/C later (or just B/C which counted for A/B as well in my case, not sure it's that way still now), he may have enough credit to not have to take math at all in college.

(oh, i assume "he." if it should be "she" then i apologize.)
 
heh, i'm not depending on them, just makes it go by a little faster, and its timed. i do very well in math and stuff, but i dont do stuff quickly. ee is major, so i am aiming for a 5 on the test, which i'll probably get. btw, yoru right on your assumption, but this is atot, you'd be wrong .00001% of the time saying that lol
