Graphing Calculator Rental Program

 

The Math Department/Math Emporium will not not be renting out graphing calculators for Summer 2020 and possibly Fall 2020. The library is allowing students to check out graphing calculators from them for free. Students will need to make an appointment with them first before arriving on campus. Appointments can be made for anytime Monday through Thursday from 10 am to 2 pm. Students will need to list at least three dates/times they are interested in coming to campus and email the library at lpccircdesk@laspositascollege.edu. They will respond back with a date and time that works for them. 

The Las Positas College Math Department offers a graphing calculator rental program whereby students pay a fee (currently $30 in cash or a check payable to "Las Positas College") to rent a TI-83/TI-84 graphing calculator (or similar model) for the semester.  Please see the Math Emporium Instructional Assistant located in room 607. For more information, please contact the IA's directly by email at mathx@laspositascollege.edu or by phone at (925) 424-1370. Fall/Spring hours of operation are 9:30am to 9:15pm and Summer hours of operation are 9:30am to 12:45pm and 1:45pm to 5:30pm Monday through Thursday.

Alternatives to Renting a Physical Calculator

• There are several different types of calculator emulators available online for free. One recommended emulator is the Wabbit emulator, also known as "Wabbitemu." This emulator can be downloaded for free at Wabbitemu.org. After installation, you will need to download a TI-83 calculator ROM, which may be done from a physical calculator or downloaded online. The Wabbitemu emulator is installed on most ILC computers in the Math Learning Center.
