As you are planning to attend BCIT you should evaluate your preparedness in mathematics. If you have been out of school for a while, or had only average grades in math during high school, you could be at risk in some of your courses at the Institute. There are several tests available to help you assess your skills and provide you with the information you need to arrive at BCIT ready for the mathematics in your program
The Calculator Table presents the current recommendations in the technology programs for which the Math department teaches courses. As such, it is only intended as a guideline to buying calculators unless there is a particular requirement by the technology, which will be indicated in the additional notes column. Note that these recommendations are based on the information provided by the current Math instructors and it may vary from year to year. If you wish to be certain about the use of a particular calculator you should wait until starting your program to determine the current policy of your instructors.
If you have a math problem that you would like some advice or help on, describe it in an email to our department and we will try to give you hand. Please note that this is not a homework service, the best way to "learn math" is to do practice problems.
