    Graphic caluclators were prohibited in all of my math tests and lessons. Too bad ’cause there were lessons when I was so bored drawing c*cks on a clculator could’ve helped.

    HP >> TI …just sayin’

    PWNAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

    Haha

    LOVE IT – WIN

    He does not deserve a TI-89. D:< The Awesome Calculator of Awesomeness must be removed from his possession. D:<

  10. kg333 says:

    Heck, if you only need to integrate, get a TI-83.

    The reason I got a TI-89 was to solve linear systems of equations in a reasonably efficient manner.

    ROFLMAO

    my trollsense says this could be a well disguised troll…

  13. Electriceccentric says:

    Whoop I actually did what LOL was originally designed to mean many years ago at this….

    Well done Failbook.

  14. Michael B. says:

    The TI-83 could do this as well. Lol.

  15. Prior Semblance says:

    The TI-89 is so awesome. Once I figured out how to use its special features (that aren’t on the 83/84 and certainly aren’t taught in class) I did so well in math =p

  16. whatever says:

    It amazes me that stupid people like this continue in whatever major requires Calculus if they fail at Calculus (especially twice). Gee, buddy, if you’re too retarded to pass Calc II, maybe, just maybe Engineering/Science isn’t really your thing. Take a hint.

  18. Tango says:

    They let you use a calculator that can do integration in a calculus exam? What kind of place is he studying? The whole point of a calculus exam is to see if you know how to integrate (and differentiate, but that’s easy) yourself… I guess if it were a really advanced calculus course, you could get a calculator to do the basic stuff, but I wouldn’t see much point in that (and “calc 2″ doesn’t sound like a really advanced course).

    • Prior Semblance says:

      Most teachers don’t realize how much better the 89 is than the 84.

    • lau says:

      +1 on that, if you still need a calculator the course is called “math” not calculus

    • insightful says:

      Yes, you get to use your calculator. Once you set up the integration and show that you know how to do it, use the calculator to get the answer. The whole point is to save time.

      Keep in mind; some integrations can’t be done without the calculator like finding arc lengths in polar.

      • sas says:

        So the point of the class is to learn to use a graphing calculator? That’s useless.

        • Dodom says:

          Seems so. My sister had a class that was pretty much only about the TI, and she was pissed that it turned out useless outside that class.
          Meanwhile (earlier; I’m the older sister, but you get the idea) I had an old fashionned calculus class where you actually do math. The things I learned helped me into college and lead to modest applications IRL. I feel like I got the better part of the deal.

          • James says:

            Obviously neither you or your sister studied engineering where enginers use Ti-89s on a regular basis. When determining properties you don’t have two hours to complete simple calcuations by hand that your calculator can in less than a second.

            • Euan says:

              I do engineering and we’re not allowed to use calculators like Ti-83 or 89′s in exams because you can store text in them.

            • sas says:

              The problem is this kid is talking about what sounds like an entry level Calc class, which needs to be useful to all of the majors taking it, not just engineers.

      • Tango says:

        Once you’ve shown that you know how to do the integration, all you’ve got left is substituting in the limits. You don’t need a graphing calculator for that.

        Plenty of integrals don’t have closed form solutions and have to be solved numerically, that’s true, but I would usually expect that to come up in a numerical methods class rather than a calculus class.

    • whatever says:

      Agreed. In all of my Calc classes, we were given two-part exams. On the first part, no calculator was allowed. We were to show that we could perform Calculus without cheating. On the second part of the exam, we were allowed to use calculators, because the problems involved using graphing or integration programs.

    It’s THAN, smartass!

  21. pleasehopeyou says:

    dont do that

  22. ThatDarnCat says:

    I prefur my CFX-9850GB with it’s multiple line color graphs.

  23. idan says:

    Man I wish I had a graphic calculator in all those boring math lessons. Drawing ****s would have made time pass much faster.

  24. James says:

    Calling a Ti-89 a graphing calculator is like calling an I-pad a walkman.

  25. -XCaju says:

    Meh. HP’s are way better. Try the 50g.

  26. Sporky says:

    Huh. I have a TI 89, and it took me an hour to figure out how to do a simple matrix on the damn thing. I prefer having a calculator next to me so I can check things or remember things (sometimes I know what something is, but not how to find it, so I check on the calc). I did hate some of my Stats class because we were shown how to do things manually and on a calc, and I would forget about the calculator function and do it all by hand, and then got points off.

    Now THAT is friking funny.
