|  | Calculators and the Exam
Students are expected to bring a graphing calculator to use on the AP Calculus Exam that has the built-in capability to:
- plot the graph of a function within an arbitrary viewing window
- find the zeros of functions (solve equations numerically)
- numerically calculate the derivative of a function
- numerically calculate the value of a definite integral
In the following list, a * after the model indicates that the calculator has the four required capabilities built into the calculator. However, students may bring any calculator on the list to the exam. Where a calculator series is indicated, any model within that series is acceptable:
