First off, calculators would render most of the calc I and II exams just tests to see if you can use your calculator or not (as both the TI-83, and the faculty allowed calculator can do derivatives and integrals).
Secondly, to echo everyone else: calculators are a) allowed, and b) needed in the sciences (like chem and physics).
Math classes are a majority theoretical (what with indefinite integration and all), however science classes rarely ask for symbolic answers (physics might, chem definitely will not).
The classes I'm talking about are solely within the first year curriculum, however. |
