Western Michigan University Department of Mathematics Graphing Calculator Recommendations |
|
The following courses require a graphing calculator. In some, a specific model is required. In the rest, recommended models are given. Also for the lowest level courses, we recommend that you get the model you will eventually need in a later course. (E.g. a student in MATH 1100 who will eventually take MATH 1160 should get a TI-83, but a student in MATH 1100 who will eventually take MATH 1500 should get a TI-73.)
| COURSE | REQUIRED | RECOMMENDED |
| MATH 1090 | any | TI-83/84 Plus |
| MATH 1100 | any | *model required in next course |
| MATH 1110 | any | *model required in next course |
| MATH 1140 | any | TI-83/84 Plus |
| MATH 1160 | TI-83/84 or TI-83/84 Plus | |
| MATH 1180 | any | TI-83/84 Plus, TI-89, Voyage 200 |
| MATH 1220 | any | TI-89 or higher |
| MATH 1230 | any | TI-89 or higher |
| MATH 1700 | TI-89 or TI-92 Plus, Voyage 200 | |
| MATH 1710 | TI-89 or TI-92 Plus, Voyage 200 | |
| MATH 1500 | TI-73 | |
| MATH 1510 | TI-73 | |
| MATH 2000 | any | TI-83/84 Plus |
| MATH 2650 | TI-73 | |
| MATH 2720 | TI-89 | |
| MATH 3510 | TI-92, Voyage 200 | |
| MATH 3740 | TI-89 | |
| MATH 5540 & 5550 | TI-73 |
Note: The TI-83 (not Plus), TI-86, TI-92 and the TI-92 Plus are no longer manufactured. Certainly these older calculators may still be used in these courses.
*Students in MATH 1100 will typically take MATH 1140 (for general
education credit), MATH 1160 (for business), MATH 1500 (for elementary
education), or MATH 1110 ( if going on to other higher mathematics
courses).
*Students in MATH 1110 will typically be going on to MATH 1180 (for
eventual Calculus) or MATH 2000 (brief Calculus).
Secondary Mathematics Education Majors and Minors should purchase a Voyage calculator.
