Course learning outcomes

understand what may go wrong when entering calculations and know how to fix them
apply knowledge of calculator functions to a range of mathematical calculations.
Although I am a novice mathematician, I quickly realised that this course is very out-of-date. The calculators I use are: the Casio fx-85GT CW+ (2nd edition) and the Casio fx-991CW+ (2nd edition). This meant that for a lot of the operations, I had to look online, as my calculator has different keys. I would like to do a more up-to-date course than this one, which was last revised in 2019.
