u bring 350 also can use 570 function la

how many SPM students actually know how to use FX-570 to its full potential?

u can even perform Runge-Kutta method using FX-570. though u need 2 FX-570 at least and a lot of patience


those plotter type calculator not allowed lo in SPM coz they wan u to use ur brain 2 draw the graph. SPM max only draw x-y plane no nid so canggih lo.

Even in bachelor degree programs ur not allowed to use those calculator for graphing during exams.
Dun bother getting that calculator juz because "it might become handy" somedays. A PC and MATLAB is enuff to do the trick.

i tink 570 its too cheating to bring into SPM if u can fully utilize.

FX-570 can solve 3rd order simultaneous equations... weee

I don't think ES will halao from them...should be no problem since everyone also planning to bring it..

Easy.. make the paper harder... wahahaha
then calculator is not an issue

i was allow use that for spm 2007.

so did u get A for add math?

i used 570 for my spm lol

I used 570MS during my SPM time, no problem. I think it should be alright as long as it's not a programmable or graphing calculator.

570-ES is allow in the exam. It's a non-programmable calculator after all and it's function is almost similar to the 570-MS

but 570es not allowed in uni cos its a 3 line display calculator =.=

what can 570 do in form 4 syllabus..? can give example?

logs for ES
Quadratic eqn..etc etc

IMO it's not a problem using 570ES in SPM.. It's not programmable so why worry so much. Besides, actually this thread with this question has been opened before last year.

what can 570 do but 350 cant in form 4 syllabus? beside factorisation

The best is you take one and compare lo. There isn't that much of a difference because 350 is still pretty useful up to uni.

Many. I don't have a 350 with me now though, can't remember what 350 is capable of. All I remember is that 570 can do more than 350, and yes, for SPM syllabus alone.

logarithmic conversions
2nd, 3rd order simultaneous equation
3x3 matrix operations
interpolation
regression
base2,8,10,16 conversion
logic operations
vector operations
polynomial
complex numbers
differential equations
statistics (mean, max, min, variance, distribution, etc)
trigonometry

etc...

570 rockx...
350 fail....
