Yes! TI Basic on my Texas Instruments graphics calculator was how I spent downtime during math class.
So much so, I remember writing program for solving quadratic equations.
They were supposed to clear the calculators memory during exmas, but the exam invigilators had no idea what calculators could do, so they didn't.
I'd like to think it wasn't cheating... as writing quadratic solver in TI basic is harder than solving simple quadratic equations. And I did do them all by hand anyway in the exams...
- hnal943 10y agoI have the same story, but my first program was for solving systems of equations using a variety of methods and showing its work each step of the way. Same as you, I learned the material far more thoroughly than had I studied it in a conventional way.
