hi everyone i hope you are fine .
is it allow to use graphing calculator in ipho physics olympiad
 
Physics news on Phys.org
i don't have the rules
 
sorry
 
I have no direct experience with IPHO. All I know is what I found with a bit of Google-searching for terms like "ipho calculator."

According to http://ipho2014.kz/files/blogs/1399786347448.pdf, the only calculator allowed in 2014 was the Hewlett-Packard 10S+, and it was provided to all participants by the organizing committee. I have not managed to find similar information for 2016.
 
please anybody help me i need this information to much because I'm going to compete in it
 
Come on dude, I found the answer after 3 seconds by googling "IPHO rules". Do you really need others to spoondfeed you?
