Halfway through my 2nd class year I saved up enough to go buy an HP-35 RPN calculator.. I remember it being a real lifesaver in my Spherical Trig class.. It made everything easy as 3.1415926..

I remember learning to use a slide rule in my junior year at high school. Before the end of the year, it became obsolete.

Is there a way to see the math prep problems? Just to have an idea? Thank you so much.

One of the things about using a slide rule and watching it pass into obsolescence is it likely means you too are probably close to be being obsolete.

In the interest of everyone, I reached out to the head of the Math & Science Department and his response is immediately below.

The Texas Instruments TI – 36X Pro is required for all Math and Science courses. It is also approved to be used in a number of other courses in the other departments. Therefore should be the one purchased if the plebe wants to get only one calculator. The other calculator (TI-89), the student may find to be useful to do basic graphing etc. if they do not have their computer with them and thus is optional.
