Calculator:
You will need a scientific or business calculator; it should have a y^x or ^ key, e, and log. Graphing calculators are fine but not necessary. You may be working with computers depending on availability and the instructor's discretion. A couple useful models of scientific calculator are the TI 30XS or the TI 30X IIS which are both inexpensive and display input as well as output which may be helpful for larger computations (the TI 30XA can do the same operations but requires computations to be input in an order that may be confusing). TI 36X is not allowed.
No CAS (Computer Algebra Systems) calculators are allowed: HP 50g, HP Prime, TI-36X, TI-89, TI-92, or TI-Nspire CAS.
