You're an engineer alright. I can use mine in conjunction with probes to collect an analyze physical data in real time. Everything from volts to temp to light.

So when I'm out and about, I don't need a toolbox of equiptment to do simple things. Not to mention I can sync with my computer and transfer data between them.

This got me through all of undergrad. Used it on my first exam, and managed not to lose it all the way til my last exam and every exam in between. It has perfect weight distribution. You feel like you're holding onto something substantial, not just a plastic thing.

Thinkpads are useless. Take notes on pen and paper. If you don't draw arrows and concept maps while taking notes fast enough to keep pace with lecture then you dumb.

Get shitty laptop, strip all unnecessary bs programs, upgrade ram for 50$

invest into nice bag that won't rip after a couple years

get an Ipad to pirate every possible textbook on (shit pays for itself after one semester)

locate that one printer in deepest darkest corner of uni where you can print for free and tell NO ONE about its existence

find a place with open doors and couch past 2AM to sleep during extreme work periods

pick up smoking to train yourself for good behavior

How I miss the college.

I find them all on demonoid usually, sometimes not exactly same edition and maybe not even same author but same subject. There's like a hundred textbooks on any given subject from hs to grad to reference level. I like Ipad because of how quickly I can switch to internet and look up papers, great screen resolution, the first gen feels nice and heavy. Can't always have laptop out to read. I'm talking about a piss poor 400$ gigantic laptop that you keep stashed somewhere for writing papers. The Ipad is frequent use (bring it to class, pass out with it in the library...etc.).

In a real world setting I agree that MATLAB or Mathematica are superior, however in undergrad a calculator that can rref is more than enough.

Using MATLAB is like sandblasting a soup cracker for undergrads. Generally speaking.

Every goddamn math course up until the 4th year and grad. level seminars requires a "computer component", ie. an assignment for MAPLE (oh, canada) or Mathematica.

Wolfram Alpha has been satisfactory just for tinkering with stuff for assignments though.

Also, related, my pen of choice. I've always used Lamys, and it's what I'm used to.
