I am in a bit of a tizzy here. My statistics class starts in about a week and I am without a TI-83 or TI-84 calculator. I've asked everyone I know if they had one to borrow and half the people didn't even know what that was. LOL Is there anyone here that is willing to let me borrow this calculator for this semester? My financial aid was used on my books and unfortunately there's not enough left for a $100 calculator. And yes I've looked on ebay and every other website. I'm not able to afford it at this point. And no I'm not able to borrow money. I really don't have anyone to borrow from or believe me I would have.

If anyone is kind enough just send me a message. Or if you have any other thoughts on this let me know. I appreciate it. Thanks

On freecycle you have to post what you want and people will reply with what they have. I gave someone a graphing calc last year so anything is possible. There is also a free section on craigslist.org and a wanted section too. Do you belong to a church? lokk at local pawn shops or goodwill stores you'd be surprised.....

Does your school have a Math Resource Center (MRC) or Tutor Center of some kind? I know our MRC rents TI-84's for $20 a term. If they don't rent them, they may have bulletin board (the good old-fashioned cork kind :)) that has folks interested in selling theirs at a discount.

It's unlikely you'll need the calculator on the first day of class...I'd hang on to the class until your drop date.

Good Luck!!!

Peace,

I'm still looking. I'm going to keep the class unless I cannot get one of those calculators within the next few weeks. My first quiz isn't until October so I have time. Unfortunately my school does not rent the calculators. Thanks for everyone's input.
