So I had the possibility to use my TI 57 LED at the "bac" (more or less the "maturità " for Italians or the "abitür" for Germans). Then at College I used first a Casio FX 702P and after a Sharp PC 1500.(01-15-2018 09:34 AM)david sanz Wrote: Why they chose HP48 over TI59, I can not say. But HP hit first and the one who hits first hits twice. HP became a trademark of engineering students in Spain until today. Most friends of mine had normal calculators and a few HAD programmables. I particularly remember two guys with HP 15C, HP 41 CV. But the use of such devices was only aimed at controlling the calculations and save a lot of time. I remember to have controlled different calculations on matrix in a few minutes while colleagues with TI 30 or calcs like that took a lot more. Now, it's a bit different... not a bit in fact... very different. Programmable calculators that don't Exam mode are forbidden. This special mode disables programmation, wifi, mass memory.
