MATHEMATICS AREA POLICY FOR CALCULATOR USE

The Mathematics Area has established a policy for calculator use in each of its courses. A specific model and series of calculator has been selected for each course to insure that the capabilities of the calculator do not interfere with the course objectives and to make sure that one student does not have an undo advantage over another. Individual instructors may restrict the use of any calculator in their courses. This policy includes face to face classes, and e-learning classes. It also pertains to the Testing Centers at all three campuses and all proctored locations.

See the list below for the specific calculator that has been selected for each course.

  • Math 115 Elementary Statistics
  • Math 215 Elementary Statistics II
  • Math 260 Linear Algebra

Note: To further clarify, any calculator with a built-in CAS (computer algebra system) or internet connectivity may not be used.
