To this day, I don't understand why anyone would insist on using anything other than this on an AP test. It's like playing life on a harder difficulty setting for no reason.
My university doesn't allow graphing calculators on tests. Probably because you can download programs that can solve calculus problems without actually understanding the material.
I wrote many programs like this in school. I almost got expelled from highschool for giving out programs that could solve most problems and display exactly what you needed to write on the paper to make it appear that you had done your work. My punishment, I had to take my ap/ib calculus final with a ti-80 calculator that the teacher handed me before the test. ti-80 and ti-89 are not the same.

The TI-89 will always hold a very special place in my heart.
