You know that the TI-83+ is the only graphing calculator we're allowed under law to use on a provincial exam?

Makes you wonder, don't it?

They're very, very powerful. The higher versions (TI-92) are way to powerful for someone not even out of high school to be using.

Because then it's not you, it's the calculator that's doing the work.

No, Kas. The "TI-83 Plus". It's a Calculator. And it's a piece, compared to other, similarly priced models from other manufactuers.

Er, what was the point of that post?

You said you can't use anything bigger than a TI-83, I said that is because anything bigger does the work for you...

Ahh. I thought you were talking about the TI-92 or something... *shrugs*

But it's not that we're not allowed to use more powerful calculators. It's that we're not allowed to use calculators of equivilent power by other manufacturers. Canon makes a colour graphing caculator in the same class as the TI-83, but to be legally allowed to use a graphing calculator during an exam, is has to be a Texas Instruments manufacture.

A little strange...
