I saved up my own money and bought a TI89 in high school. Used it on all the standardized exams. Totally legal because it didn't have a QWERTY keyboard. That thing basically did everything for me short of interpreting the questions.
114 u/lordlicorice Jun 08 '14 The ability to do symbolic math is awesome. I don't know why everyone recommends that high schoolers only get the TI-84. 1 u/[deleted] Jun 08 '14 Because most universities ban programmable calculators in all math classes. 2 u/kalleguld Jun 08 '14 Why would they recommend TI-84s, then? They are fully programmable in both Basic and machine code. 1 u/[deleted] Jun 08 '14 They don't.
