Calculators and computers

You are free to use any scientific, non-graphing calculator for quizzes and exams. You may not use any graphing calculator.

Many computer programs (such as Mathematica and MATLAB) can perform a wide variety of calculations. You may wish to use a program to check your homework, but you will still be expected to write out the steps involved in solving each problem.
