[Blindmath] Talking Scientific Calculators

Wed May 23 15:34:43 UTC 2012

Jordan,

Maybe you have already done this, but going to talk with your CS
advisor and/or someone in the Math Department about specific functions
you will be required to do with your calculator is a good place to
start.  That way you can compare the functions of various hardware and
software calculators, including your Pac Mate's.

I offerthisnotas a math geek, but as a former Disabilithy Services
person. (smile)

Best,
Dan
