Group 5
In mathematics HL, mathematical methods SL, and further mathematics SL,
candidates will require access to graphic display calculators throughout the course,
including all examinations.
Mathematical studies SL allows the use of a graphic display calculator without
specifically requiring them. These calculators are used to draw the graphs of
functions, to solve equations and sets of equations, to explore sequence behaviour,
and to perform sophisticated statistical tests. They assist problem solving, especially
in internal assessment tasks, using extensive memories to store data for rapid
analysis.
Computer science requires calculators for all papers. Some questions set in
examinations under previous calculator regulations could be answered directly,
using the functions available on the calculators that are permitted now. Such
questions will not be set in future. Graphic, programming or modelling functions
are not required for examinations. The computer science course of study involves
the development and use of an IBO pseudocode, some features of which could be
programmed into the memory.
G11.3 Groups 4 and 5
Calculators must include the following functions:
decimal logarithms
values of xy and x1/y
value of pi
trigonometric functions
inverse trigonometric functions
natural logarithms
values of ex.
Mathematics HL, mathematical methods SL, further mathematics SL
Candidates are required to have access to a graphic display calculator. It is expected
that these calculators will be able to:
draw graphs with any viewing window
solve equations using the inbuilt equation solver functions of the calculator
add and multiply matrices and find inverse matrices
determine a numerical derivative at a point
calculate a numerical integral between given limits.
Mathematical studies SL
Graphic display calculators are allowed, but are not compulsory.
When setting examination papers examiners will assume that candidates have
access to these calculator functions.
G11.4 All subjects
Where calculators are allowed, they may also have the following facilities:
graphic display
programming facility.
