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.
It sounds like you’ll be making sweet love to your TI-89 also, since you’ll obviously never see a girl naked. And no, the nearly-naked whales at cosplay conventions don’t count.
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
well all you need is “prgrm” and type in whatever you want (inventing/replacing some symbols you don’t have on the calculator )and yes, for some reason math became easier, just like that! xp
your response has nothing to do with the insult that you never had sex with a real person before….. i guess your calculator couldn’t figure that out for you
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

WIN!
EPIC WIN!
WIN EPIC WIN!
C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
c-c-c-combo breaker!
…avatar combo breaker too!
Touché.
1 dont g3t 1t
fail
Stupid triangles and their stupid combos lol.
LMFAO I didn’t notice the combo in avatars.
SHAPIST!
Here’s another c-c-c-combo breaker! (my avatar is breaking the combo of the randomly assinged retarded ones)
Assinged? Shome mishtake, shorely?
skyman724 got his ass signed?
That’s a hell of a way to keep an autograph collection.
no i think he got his ass singed…. maybe like a microphone?!?! perhaps?
No singed means burnt. That’s a possibility.
Ouchy…
Triangles rock!
HP >> TI …just sayin’
PWNAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
PWNAGE!!!! XD
EPIC WIN EPIC WIN!
EPIC WINNING WIN
Haha
LOVE IT – WIN
He does not deserve a TI-89. D:< The Awesome Calculator of Awesomeness must be removed from his possession. D:<
wow… GEEK ALERT!! lol I mean, I completely agree but putting it that way just makes you sound so… nerdy hahah
That calculator is so awesome that it has been banned from almost every standardized test!!
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.
It sounds like you’ll be making sweet love to your TI-89 also, since you’ll obviously never see a girl naked. And no, the nearly-naked whales at cosplay conventions don’t count.
I’m pretty sure most whales would want to stay away from pretty much anything Japanese.

HYPOCRIT TROLL WIL!
**WIN!**

Jealous much? Smart guys statistically make more money. More money equals more girls.
where’s the love?
ROFLMAO
my trollsense says this could be a well disguised troll…
Whoop I actually did what LOL was originally designed to mean many years ago at this….
Well done Failbook.
LOL on a TI-89 is spelled as 707
The TI-83 could do this as well. Lol.
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
well all you need is “prgrm” and type in whatever you want (inventing/replacing some symbols you don’t have on the calculator
)and yes, for some reason math became easier, just like that! xp
You know what else is awesome? Having sex with girls.
And you would know this… how? If you say “by experience” I’ll just respond “pics or it didn’t happen”.
You know what’s sexy? Intelligence.
You do realize I actually hate math (good at it, but so boring) and only like the TI-89 because it did my work for me?
But yeah, good attempt at an insult I suppose.
your response has nothing to do with the insult that you never had sex with a real person before….. i guess your calculator couldn’t figure that out for you
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.

^This
Most teachers don’t realize how much better the 89 is than the 84.
+1 on that, if you still need a calculator the course is called “math” not calculus
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.
So the point of the class is to learn to use a graphing calculator? That’s useless.
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.

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.
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.

It’s THAN, smartass!
dont do that
I prefur my CFX-9850GB with it’s multiple line color graphs.
i like mathematica

calcface.
Man I wish I had a graphic calculator in all those boring math lessons. Drawing ****s would have made time pass much faster.
Calling a Ti-89 a graphing calculator is like calling an I-pad a walkman.
Meh. HP’s are way better. Try the 50g.
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.

Now THAT is friking funny.
