gollark: Calculators... generally still seem to be a scam, though.
gollark: Anyway, at my school we mostly use(d) Casio FX-991EX calculators, which have lots of nice features.
gollark: <@!665664987578236961> You may have only asked styro once, but I read basically every new message on this discord server (I have a lot of free time and mostly just skim them) and I'm pretty sure you ask similar questions a lot. And it's mildly irritating.
gollark: The mildly-higher-res display lets it display square roots and fractions nicely.
gollark: Also, this model supports matrices and stuff.
