As a recent computer engineering graduate (with a 3.75 GPA), I think you're going to find that a powerful calculator isn't all that helpful in any of those classes except perhaps matrix algebra ...

Beyond AI, matrix math is so important to modern computing (think image processing and data compression) that even slight gains in efficiency could lead to computational and power savings.

By comparison, the HP-15C was a pocket-sized scientific calculator with “built-in support for complex numbers, matrix math, numerical integration, and root solving”.

This paper sets out the key concepts necessary to calculate trade in value added using input-output tables. We explain the basic structure of an input-output table and the matrix algebra behind the ...
