Title: Calculator Requirements for Specialist?
Post by: Random_Guy on November 25, 2011, 07:51:31 pm

Hey guys, I have a Ti-89 calculator, so would I be able to use this for Specialist? I've heard that my calculator isn't able to draw some of the weird graphs studied in Specialist...

Unless they've changed the course, 89 is fine. Most people used Ti-84's or 83s when I did it.

Yeah Ti-89 is fine.

You have to use one of these CAS calculators for Spesh (same calculators for methods as well):
