The use and definite advantages of graphing
calculators are already well known and no need to count their benefits. But
there are still too many teachers that do not believe in the necessity of
graphing calculators that they are almost compulsory to be used. Even in the
developed countries, there are still so many schools that do not use any
graphing calculators. Most of them have been using without a graphing
calculator. Our goal is to prove with many examples faced in many problems in
high school and upper math range, that these problems can not be solved and
understood without a graphing capable tool.
