What to bring to class...

You will probably want a simple scientific calculator with you in class. If you don't have one on your computer or smartphone:
t
hese run around $9 to $15 ish at the big stores (Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target).  A scientific calculator has buttons that probably include 
cos, sin, tan, exp, log, ex ,EE, +/-  buttons (or ones similar to that). We won't immediately use all those functions, but if the calculator
can do those, it can do what we DO need it for. 

If you want a fancier graphing or algebraic calculator, you'll be able to follow along the calculator aids in the textbook.
The calculator pictured in the examples is a TI-83 which run $90 to $150.   It's a helpful bonus but NOT a requirement.
