<p>How much advantage does a graphing calculator has over a scientific calculator? I thought I would be already but after seeing 2 chapters in Barron’s dedicated just for the graphing calculator made me less sure.</p>
<p>A graphing calculator is a BIG help… like for a lot of problems about sin/cos curves, you could figure it out just by thinking it through, but it is SO much easier to just graph it and look at the graph. Less likely to make careless errors that way, too.</p>
<p>And then of course, if you have an 89, there’s the beloved SOLVE function
:D</p>
<p>And for the occasional limits problem, you can type in limits and get the answer. Same with those sigma notation things.</p>
<p>But ya know, if you’re good at math, you could probably do well with a scientific. Also, you kind of need a little time to get used to using a graphing calc, so if you’re taking the June 3rd test, I don’t know if you’d have the time.</p>
