Are people using graphing calculators in introductory physics
classes?  My students now all have them, I haven't used the
capabilities of them, and I'm not sure if I want to.  It seems
that basically with the graphing calculators you start with the
equations as given, instead of deriving them ( or maybe it
doesn't have to be "instead" but that seems sort of the gist of
it).
So what are folks doing?
