A82: Re: Southern Hemisphere (was: Ilya?)
I think it depends on the subject and what the lecturer has decided. For
example, in Electrical Systems Engineering, we're allowed to use _any_
calculator at all, as long as it doesn't have programs or information on it
related to the subject. A friend of mine was thinking of getting a powerful
calc like the 89 for useful stuff like complex matrices and overall cool
maths ability. But then he thought, well the new HP coming out soon has
like lots of Elec. Eng. stuff and Digital Logic things built-in, so it might
pass those requirements... but I dunno.
It seems in the maths subjects you're pretty much restricted to the use of
83 at the most.
And is it just me, or does it seem a little unfair that places like America
can have like 89s on their college exams, whereas here VBOS lumps us with
83s? (though I must say, the 83s were very useful for the methods and
specialist exams)
