I Look Silly With My Aurora Scientific Calculator

The first time I ever needed a scientific calculator for school was during my first year in high school. At that time, it didn’t matter to me what kind I had, as long as I had one that does the functions I need. I didn’t even bother to check them out; I just asked my dad to buy me one. He bought an Aurora calculator.

Now that I am in my third year in college, I realized that my calculator sucks. When I took my math class two terms ago, it was a real bummer. All went well until I needed the function for ‘!’ or factorial. I won’t bother explaining it. Heck, I already forgot what it’s for! Anyway, because it wasn’t able to perform the task I needed, I had to do it manually.


There are also other reasons to go with that:

-Had to push the reset button to turn it on

-Had to erase everything when I made a wrong press

-It’s got a flip cover that got detached and not possible to put back

-Which leads to the keys being pressed accidentally ALL the time

-Which leads to battery use and

-Soon enough was using solar power to do my computations


Recently though, I bought a new one. And I’m excited to do some calculations.
