A scientific or graphing calculator is required for all course activities, including exams. There are numerous graphing calculators available that are suitable for this course. If you already have one it is probably ok for MTH 306. Check with me if you are uncertain about your present calculator. You should consider your long range calculator needs if you need to buy a calculator. Check with an advisor in your major. You may also wish to consult the information available at this link.
For many purposes outside of class, you may prefer to use a computer with suitable mathematical software. The MLC Computer Classroom/Lab has such programs available for your use. For example, MAPLE, MATHEAMTICA, MATLAB, and the student version of SCIENTIFIC WORD are available.
