Calculate This!
Last semester I used two calculators - my Sharp EL334M Calculator with BIG ass buttons and my old school TI-85 calculator from high school. The former I used in accounting - there’s something nice about the BIG ass buttons and the double zero button. Then I had to take data analysis and needed square roots. I dug up this thing that is like 13 years old (I think I used it my sophmore year or something) and got me through a few years of calculus. It’s older than most bloggers out there, which just seems bizarre. Just when I thought I had enough calculators, then came the Finance syllabus - and voila! Must use this Texas Instruments BA II Plus thingy. So there you have it. Three calculators.
In addition, I also have the calculator on my cel phone and on my computer. They have ways to calculate the simplest of things - even keep count of my rows while knitting.
