all very true...this is for econ/finance though.

i typed up the whole book but its going to take forever to scroll down through these files during the exam ......might be a waste of time

sigh.....this [censored] never works

There isn't a search feature?

good thing it forced you to study!

[KUJustin]

Who would type the entire book in order to cheat?

Unbelievable.

[MelchyBeau]

I think if you typed the entire book, you would remember a good amount, however your time would have been better used to actually study

[higher_energy]

ah wtf...not THE entire book. just the most important stuff and its roughly 150 pages of text that i needed to read.
none of it was useful though because the exam raped...it had the most abstract stuff and obviously i did not use the calculator at all.

The two departments I take classes in (math/stats, phys/astr) allow only one calculator, and some of the classes don't allow one at all. And the allowed calculator is an absolute POS, the Sharp EL510-R.

you shouldn't need a calculator in college level math or physics. the best math problems are conceptual problems with fairly simple mental arithmetic needed once the problem is reduced. physics problems shouldn't even have numbers in them, it should be pure abstract calculus/algebra.

econ, i can't comment on.

Apparently you haven't taken differential equations. After the first few weeks, my professor let us just set up the integrals and then compute them using Mathematica.

You're right that the best problems are theoretical, but there are still plenty of problems that require pages and pages of computation if done by hand. Just the other night I did a geometry problem that required over two pages and was only worth 6 points. The 10 point part of that assignment only took me a third of a page because I knew some theory that most of the class didn't.

The two DE classes I've taken we weren't allowed a calculator.

One 2nd year and one 3rd year.
