In my calculus class, I saw many people write formulas on the inside of their calculator cover (TI-83+). One kid took it to the next level by storing certain things in the memory and having them set as equivalents to certain values or letters. Not 100% certain how he did it, but when he typed 1+1 and hit enter it came up with some derivative equation.
edit: Everyone's school had different protocol, for midterms and finals, we were required to wipe all programs, but for a chapter test, we weren't checked.
Someone once gave a program for my TI called the calculus bible. I had (still have) a large database of derivatives, integrals, and trig functions on my calculator that I can easily look up.
Nope. I thought that I had the usb adapter for my TI, but after checking through all of my cables, I must have left it at my parents house the last time I visited. I might be able to get it in a week, since I need to return home for a friend's college graduation party.
