Thread: WTB: TI-83 or 84 Graphing calculator

That's ok, I forgot to update. Messaged a buddy on Saturday and asked if he had picked it up by mistake thinking it was his. He text back and said he had 2 in his bag and one of them was mine. I could have hugged him at this point in my freaking out. Picked it up Monday and back to the grind of Engineering.........


Thanks for all of the willingness to help a guy you have never met. I appreciate it.

Our instructors are very layed back. They would rather us know the information and use calculators than struggle and get bad grades and not know how to do the work.

wait yer an engineer? gfy

lol

god i hate dealing with the wet behind the ear engineers

In engineering school. I also have a Bachelors Degree. I also like long walks on the beach and the smell of jasmine..............

4 times we've received prints with dimensions from two zero points...but no spec on distance to each other lol

i also love how an older engineer at the same company took credit for my tool design...when the design he had given me was a total failure.

huge difference between book smarts and real world

That's the truth. My father is an engineer, so I have been around it all my life. I feel that the public school system has failed our youth, along with most media. I'm not the smartest person, but I don't lack common sense.

Yeah i agree. All of my math classes are non calculators but then in other classes we're able to use the basic calculators. I've only had a few classes where i was able to use my 84
