[NFB-Muslims] Scientific calculators, any suggestions?

[Ibrahim Abedrabbo]

Thanks Don,

I do not really know if this student can use an online calculator or 
not, I will pass the info you gave me to the coordinator and see what 
she says.

Thanks a million for your suggestions.

Regards,

Ibrahim
