Mac Approved Calc
Hey guys
I am in Engineering Level I and I just learned about the Mcmaster Approved Calculator. Is it still the Casio FX 991 MS? Will this be the standard scientific calculator for all Math related classes or are you allowed to use other ones?
Thanks for your time!

During tests and exams you will only be allowed to use the McMaster approved calculator, which is the one you specified (although it doesn't have to be MS, I believe there is a ES or something like that). Other than that you can use any calculator you want, but there wouldn't be a point because then the Casio FX 991 will be alien to you during a test. Plus, it's an extremely powerful calculator.

Yeah, thats the correct calculator. You will need it for matls, physics, and chem basically... math has no calculators (YAY! :p)

In case you're wondering about this, the first year Eng math tests are all multiple choice, and there are no calculators on the tests. |

Not necessarily the case anymore. First year math has been redone (yet again), so the format will probably change back to written, since there are now three classes rather than two.

I thought of that, but that just means more tests to mark... so I would think that they'll stick with the multiple choice. And they've got all the old test questions to use as samples, too. |
