MATH 143 Exams and Calculators

Updated: Sun Jan 6 06:57:21 MST 2008

Note that a graphing calculator is required for MATH 143 (and MATH 144 and MATH 147).

The on-line Graphing-Calculator Manual furnishes calculator home-work problems and also advises on the TI calculators, TI-83, TI-86, and TI-89 (your graphing calculator does not have to be one of these).

Generally major tests will come in two parts:

• A brief colored-page portion for which you must have a working calculator. This part of the test is intended to be done in the first 10-15 minutes of the test period, or perhaps during part of the period on the class day before the remainder of the exam.
• The major part of the test is the white-pages part on which you are to use only your pencil and eraser.
• You may not use cell phones or PDAs (such as Palm Pilots or Pocket PC's) as calculators during any exam. No exceptions will be made. These machines have communication capabilities which are inappropriate in this context.
