AP Physics students: Calculator equations

[ctccromer]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying memorization is completely out the window. The more I use these equations over the course of the year, the more familiar I am with them (for example, the 5 freefall equations that never go away). Other equations are just so easy that you learn it on your own (F=ma, Fg = mgy, etc).

The AP Test also has an equations sheet. I just like to have the equations becasue 1) I'm familiar with my calculator, and 2) this way I can spend more time focusing on UNDERSTANDING the equations rather than memorizing them.

I DEFINITELY don't intend on fully relying on my calculator, but the programs help a lot on tests in class and are a nice extra resource to have

EDIT: @Bob If people don't memorize equations, does that mean that None Shall Pass?
