[quote name='SuprSnr2'] Calculators help with most math my friend
Although I'm surprised you couldn't just bum one off of your teacher or a classmate, that bites.[/QUOTE]
Well all of my classmate would need theirs for the test. I could have bummed one from the teacher but he wasn't there, we had a sub pass out the test.
[quote name='jmcc']At this point in semester, though, Trig doesn't require a calculator anymore, in my experience. Getting decimal answers are the only thing I can remember needing one for and that's usually over in the first few weeks.
edit: Also, as you go on in math, numbers become less important. Calculators are just for engineers, I'm starting to think.[/QUOTE]
we've been using a calc all year.
I think I did a good job on the test but I didn't do a few problems because my mind just went blank. They were easy question too.
