Should I get a TI89?

The TI-89 will become your best friend through AP Calc. It might not be necessary, but it is a big help for the AP Exam. For Free Response Q1, the Area/Volume Question, all you have to do is write out the integral, then plug and chug. It’s a big timesaver since you don’t have to antidifferentiate by hand. If you can learn how to use it proficiently, it’ll be worth it. My school loaned out TI-89’s for the entire year, so I didn’t have to worry about it, but I’ll end up buying one next year for Calc III/IV.
