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.
