Which kind of graphing calculator should I buy?

AI Thread Summary
Choosing the right graphing calculator is crucial for success in advanced math and science courses. The TI-83 is recommended for its reliability and capability, supporting studies up to Calculus 3. While the HP 50g is suggested by some for its advanced features, many educators prefer TI models. Personal experiences highlight the TI-83's effectiveness compared to other brands like Casio. Ultimately, investing in a TI-83 is a solid choice for upcoming coursework.

I'm having a bit of a problem with choosing a calculator, I am taking algebra 2 and Honors Chem and plan to take calculus AP Chem and Physics next year. The teachers have stopped supplying the TI-83s and I need to know what to invest in. My dad has insited I go with the HP 50g as he is an enginner but all the teachers use TI's. Any suggestions?

TI-83 will serve you well all the way up to Calculus 3 :-]

You have a long ways to go, suggest you stick to using your brain instead of having a powerful calculator.

Cost you around $50 at most!
 
The HP looks pretty slick. Never used it. I personally love my TI83. I also have a Casio CFX-9850, and found it weak in comparison to the TI.
This is just my opinion.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
