was messing around posting pics on my case mod on anandtech when i realized i forgot my ti83 plus at school

[rambow]

and no, i dont have another graphing calculator.

 

[zanieladie]

Oh that so sux! Think you will get it back?

As far as taking the ACT tomorrow...have any friends who have one that you can borrow? YIKES!

 

[Dacalo]

All you need is a regular calculator.

I thought TI-83s were "illegal" because of their memory storage capability?

 

[narutofan36]

=(

that sure sucks

i like cereal

1) Considerit a lesson to concentrate on school rather than entertainment.

2) One can pass the ACT without using any calculator with the exception of your noodle.

i missed the SAT once. my mom called me from work that night and asked me how it went...after the odd silence, she knew what was going on and got pissed. good times.

I know that 89's aren't allowed but I used the 83 on my ACT.

 

[uhohs]

that's what you get for performing that craptastic case mod. haha.

You don't really need a TI-83+. I got a 36 on the math by using a TI-83+ SE, but I know I would have gotten just as high had I used a regular calculator.

Just get a friends. Most of the math is pretty simple though. I just like the graphing calculator for its screen to show what you typed in easily.

Take the opportunity to step up to a TI89 Titanium... its been an incredible calc for me.

 

[Keego]

sucks to be you!

GOOD LUCK THOUGH!

HP 48GX can't be beat IMO.

TIs feel like toys in comparison. RPN and a stack. Add MetaKernal and Erable, and you can perform all of the symbolic algebra of an 89, plus Laplace transforms, Equation Library built-in, Expandable memory, IR capability...

Find an engineer, try his (hers?) and you'll be hooked.

 

[Tu13erhead]

At least your case is extra sweet.





LOL JK

IR capable? sounds like it is able to communicate with other calcs? This definitely wouldnt be allowed in any exam rooms.

I do agree that the TI89 lacks a good equation library, and the user interface for equation solvers are terrible. Ill look into it, thanks.
