I never had a graphing calculator until this semester of
college. I always used scientific calculators throughout high school and
throughout the first semester of college. I never really had interest in using
a graphing calculator until I realized it would be extremely helpful for my
stats class this semester. Basically everything we do in stats involves our
graphing calculators, however the problems are able to be completed without a
graphing calculator as well. But using a graphing calculator is extremely
useful because it literally gives u all the equations and you just plug numbers
in. All you need to memorize is the order of the numbers you need to enter in
each equation. You obtain answers in 5 seconds, as opposed to 5 minutes by
doing it by hand. This is really beneficial for us when we take exams, because
we have 75 question exams. I can’t really imagine doing math without a graphing
calculator now, and I don’t really want to imagine my stats class without the luxury
of a graphing calculator.
