I'm going for either Biology or Chemisty, with plans to move onto Pharmacy School. I bought a TI-89 and it's not allowed in my lower level math classes. Should I hold onto it for future math or should I just sell it on craigslist?

You literally don't need it for studying math. You won't need a calculator at all in higher level math, a calculator doesn't help you write proofs.

TI-89 is for professionals like engineers, but most of them irl just use a scientific or MATLAB code for the heavy stuff.

The literal only place graphing calculators are useful are undergraduate math classes.

If you need to graph something past that, install R or Octave
