Hi guys,
I'm doing computer science and have enrolled in Math1131, and plan on doing 1231 and 1081 next semester. There is a chance I may do some level 2 Math courses as electives (not compulsory though).

What is the best calculator for someone doing these courses? I don't really know what kind of functions are necessary for these courses (1081 especially) and the list (here) is very long.


I used the Casio fx82AU during High School but no longer have one. Would this serve me well?

Edit
Can the fx82AUplus give exact values? (ie trig and other surds) I just remembered someone at school being able to do it on theirs. May be useful in saving a few seconds in an exam environment.

Yeah, that Casio is fine.

I have the Casio fx-82AU PLUS.

Use the 100-AU because that can do Complex Numbers.

And then you can use your 82 for other calculations. Should always have two calculators on hand anyway.
