what's your preferred calculator?

>> No.14665510

>>14665491
Python

Excel
Sql

I am a software developer and legit haven't used a calculator in 20 years. You don't need them in college either.

Tried and true, but i don’t know why you’d need one, they’re usually not allowed in the earlier calculus courses in uni and if you make it through the engineering math into more advanced math you’re probably smart enough to live without one anyway

My uni made us use some kind of Sharp scientific calculator for math classes. I liked it better than the TI ones because it was easier to enter and edit complicated equations

Then type what you want to calculate into the python interpreter:

For anything in highschool this is hyper efficient and fast. TI-84 is absolutely a meme because it takes hours to write out an expression. Just use desmos or Wolframalpha whenever you need a TI-84.
