what, all of them?

the 'natural display' thing means you can actually enter formulae the way you write them, and how they appear in textbooks. what nerds do with LaTeX on computers (e.g. over on >>>/sci/)

so you can type in actual brackets, fractions, roots, etc and they display/calculate properly. shit's so cash.

what if the test-designers not only anticipated that, but considered it part of the exam? they were testing your resourcefulness.

Do schools still require these? I finished highschool before smart phones became omnipresent. The whole thing has always been an obvious racket, but nowadays what's the argument against just having kids use an app like desmos on their phone?

yeah. the number below the item on shop shelves in the US isn't actually the amount of money you pay for that item.

it's confusing, so everyone just steals.

>>219783318
It honestly takes more effort to cheat than to study

>>219785326
For things that were purely bullshit memory the program trick worked well, but generally those calcs were for math and there isn't much memory in math... I guess maybe example problems? Maybe in chemistry it helped.

Yes. My local grocery store stopped doing self-checkout because so many people were stealing.

Disastrous policy, even in the 90s basic calculators were inexpensive and having students do longhand arithmetic is a tedious chore that probably permanently soured them on trying to excel at math.

When I was in high school in the 90s there were classes that required their use because learning how to use graphing calculators was like intro to comp Sci. The math teachers that had advanced math classes had a little cabinet with like thirty TI-82s and you had to check them out with your school ID.

>When i was in school we werent allowed to use calculators

my crumbling school in the 2000s still had a lot of the old 1970s trappings. including the ancient Book of Mathematical Tables in the science lab, for kids who didn't own a scientific calculator.

i loved that thing. there was graffiti on every page, going back 30+ years. a quality source of vintage hentai (i thank you for your service) and excellent jokes.

e.g. in among all the cocks and vagoos,

Such as what? You're usually allowed a book of formulas with you for both math and physics exams.

>>219779700
Have you tried learning math, retard? What do you need a calculator for if you don't even understand what it does?

>>219787064
why did you need graphing calculators for compsci? for the actual calculations/graphs, or because they could be programmed?

i'm a bit younger than you, but i remember talking to guys on IRC/AIM who fondly remembered installing Drugwars on those things.

Tablets genuinely ruin school classes nowadays. In my country school tablets are mandatory. Literally every kid gets handed a tablet with some gay school software on it. You also have to use it as a calculator and writing tool. I hear stories of them not being able to use a calculator during exams because the tablet's battery was too low or because the app wasn't working properly. It's insane this shit is mandatory. Even in elementary school they're mandatory.

i can't believe how correct all the Free Software/Linux types were. a tablet is just a tool, and if it just runs the gay school software, great!

if it's bundled with bloatware and evil closed-source software, that is NOT appropriate for children.

>>219788467
>>219787487
computers are such a huge part of life now every kid should have to program their own calculator on a tabley (by basically copying the teacher) in high school and that should be what they use in exams
if they "cheat" then that's fine, provided it's offline

>>219788554
>every kid should have to program their own calculator on a tabley

...why? i understand computer skills and programming being useful. but whether you mean

or

what does that help them with? just let them have the calculator app!

This, along with not really enjoying any of my hobbies anymore, is what made me succed in learning programming on my own and landing a job.
Now I don't enjoy programming either.

anybody got "this is my problem solver" without some shitty watermarks?

Yeah, entering the functions was like a precursor to the programming. Also lol I remember drugwars.
