AI Thread Summary
In a Fluid Mechanics course, the instructor prohibits programmable calculators and checks them before exams. Students are allowed to use large display calculators that are non-programmable. There is a need for suggestions on suitable models, particularly those with large LCDs that can display equations after input. While HP calculators are generally recommended, most with large screens are programmable, except for a few business or financial models. The Casio ClassPad 330 is noted for its touch screen and decent resolution, but caution is advised against the TI-Nspire due to reported issues. A YouTube video showcasing a specific non-programmable calculator is also mentioned as a helpful resource.

My Fluid Mechanics teacher doesn't allow programmable calculators and he checks before the exam. I asked him and he said we can have any large display calculator as long as it isn't programmable. Has anyone seen such a thing? I really am dependent on the giant LCD that shows the equation after I put in my numbers. Any suggestions?

Here is a list of non-programmable calcs

I'd suggest an HP, but all the HP's with large graphic screens are programmable (except for a couple of business/financial calcs)! But the screens don't get much bigger than the one on the Casio ClassPad 330. AND it's a touch screen! Resolution 240 x 160. TI's are fine, but DON'T GET THE TI-Nspire! They seem to have a lot of problems. Check out this YouTube video--for a non-programmable (non-HP, non-RPN) calculator, this one is pretty impressive. Watch the video!

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
