When it comes to higher-level math courses, such as calculus, a graphing calculator may not just be nice to have — it may be required. Since May 1995, use of a graphing calculator has been required for some questions on the Calculus Advanced Placement exam.

- Computing definite integrals (with constant endpoints) numerically
Among some of the most commonly used calculators, here are a few that meet all of the above requirements:
