We're complaining about that unfair advantage. :)

Not all of us have a CAS calc unfortunately  :(

kido_1:
I wonder if I should buy a CAS calculator for spec next year, seeing that it gives an 'unfair advantage'?

If you've got the cash, i would.

Would a CAS calculator be useful for uni courses too?

cara.mel:
Cas is nice :) As long as you learn how to do everything by hand, first. For methods last year (and in 1/2), my school put far too much emphasis on how to use the calculator, and as a result when I started preparing for exam 1, I realised just how much I couldn't do without it. I am still worse at exam 1s than exam 2s.

I found on the internet somewhere how to define a function on it to make it do implicit differentiation :D that was very useful except for the fact I didn't need it this year.

I've never used a non cas graphics calculator (well I've picked up my friends ones and complained that I can't use it and give it back after 30 seconds) so I don't have a great understanding of what we can do that normal ones can't. It is nice though, being able to differentiate/integrate everything so you know if you're right or not :)
