Calculators

Many study and lab events allow calculators of various types.

Calculator Type Examples

An event that allows non-graphing calculators would allow a TI-34, or a Texas Instruments BA II Plus, but not a TI-84.

*This may not be comprehensive list. More events than this may allow calculators.
