    They let us use them for all my college math classes.

    They really don’t help much at all if you don’t understand the math, and if you do understand, you don’t need the calculator most of the time.

      That’s also what my upper level math courses were like in college. In high school and the first couple of years of college I got good use out of my graphing calculator, but after that I reached the point where all of its advanced features were no longer useful. I just ended up leaving it at home and brought my old TI-30 Solar for class for the occasional time I had to crunch some actual numbers.
