In Chemistry we need to use calculators for many of our problems, so get a calculator that you feel comfortable with that is also affordable. The calculator that I use is the Sharp EL-506W scientific calculator. It is very cheap (about $14.00) has so many useful functions for the price. Also, it's available just about anywhere (Staples, Fry's, etc.).
