Calculators: Usually, only four models of calculators are permitted: Texas Instruments TI-
30, Texas Instruments TI-34, Casio fx-260, or Casio fx-300. In our class, it is okay to use
any basic scientific calculator that does not have graphing, programming, differentiation,
or integration functionality. You are not permitted to use your phone during tests, so your

calculator should be a dedicated physical device.

Your calculator CANNOT have any buttons with

symbols such as
