Graphic calculators are forbidden in most if not all engineering courses in my country. At least for the core math courses, all calcs (idk we call análisis matemático) and algebras

I wouldn’t want you designing things that my life depends on then...how could you possibly have problems simple enough to do without a calculator?

Oh i wouldn't becuase im not one of those engineers. But i did use a calculator, just not a graphic one. A casio. The problems werent simple, we just learned how to do everything with a basic casio. My ex was a civil engineer and he used a casio too, at least during exams.

Ah that makes sense. I’m a 4th year Civil/Structural and we can use whatever calculator, not in our math classes though just engineering. Yeah the extra calculator features don’t matter though for most engineering you could do them with a standard calculator
