Graphing Calculator?
If I'm taking Math 1F03 and Math 1LS3 am I going to need a graphing calculator or is a normal calculator okay?

The approved mcmaster casio calculator is the only one allowed, so no you will not need a graphing calculator.

You are not allowed a graphing calculator during tests and exams, but a graphing calculator could help you visualize certain functions when you do your assignments. It wouldn't hurt to have one with you, even if it isn't allowed during tests.

Get a program on your comp for graphing. For tests and exams, (at least for engineering) we were not allowed calculators. You might be allowed the CASIO fx-991MS though.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's just the engineers For math 1LS3, you're definitely allowed a calculator

If you have a Mac, it should come with a graphing program--it's called 'Grapher'. I'm sure there are others you can download if you don't have a Mac. It's a lot cheaper than buying a graphing calculator!
