Im taking math 1f03, 1m03, and stats 1l03. I heard that for university they only allow certain calculators.
Thanks

I'm not sure about the details of your math courses, but Engineering maths don't even allow calculators for tests and exams. =\

They're generally $20 at Titles...I haven't bought one this year though, so I can't confirm the price.
