>class doesn't let us use graphing calculators, only scientific allowed on exams >use the same calculator for the assignments so that on the exams i can be nice and quick with my calculator inputs >mfw I had to redo a problem 10 times because the answer demands accuracy to 10 decimal places and I didn't realize my calculator wasn't being precise enough
what the fuck is wrong with these niggers
like i get it's my fault and I should have calculated a few things separately and then put them together at the end mentally but jesus christ have some consideration for the hardware you've forbidden and the hardware you've permitted
anyway general /tools of the trade/ thread. what calculators does Veeky Forums use? what graphing, visualizers, programs, protractors, compasses, do you guys have?
>can easily keep track of my steps in calculations using my graphing calculator >can only use shitty scientific calculator on tests, with which I can't keep track of steps I feel you OP. I had to redo several problems
I learned engineering on a slide rule. So it's hard for me to empathize. 10 decimals does seem excessive, but my little Casio shows 10 places plus 2 for the exponent. Write down the steps of your problem (even roughly) and move your finger down the list as you hit keys. Still faster than having to start over.

We don’t allow graphing calculators because pajeets and changs will put crib notes in the user program source code

Also, if you can’t figure out how to use a scientific calculator you should literally off yourself

my school would just rent us calculators for exams. Anyone caught plugging anything into it or otherwise modifying it would get an automatic F, I know this because several chinks did it anyway. Also our "final" exam was fake, our real final exam was the day after in what was everyone expected to be a lab (at our school there are full pat downs before going into lab areas due to thefts, so this idea in particular appeals to professors).

How is the casio? I have a TI 84 color and considered switching over. Thing is, the TI 84 color has amazing buttons, and of course is more standardized if that makes sense.
The cg20 looks so nice though
