AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around selecting the best calculator for college algebra courses, specifically Math 1000 and Math 1050. The main contenders are the TI-36X Pro and the Sharp EL-W516XBSL. The TI-36X Pro is highlighted as an approved calculator for the NCEES EIT exam, making it a preferable choice for students planning to pursue engineering and take the NCEES Fundamentals exam. In contrast, the Sharp calculators are not approved for this exam, which is a significant consideration for engineering students. Ultimately, the TI-36X Pro is recommended for its exam approval status and suitability for college algebra.
