Calculators

What could be so hard. It's a multiple-choice test for Pete's sake.

Calculators

Postby Salvadoramerican » Tue Feb 07, 2012 9:09 am

I would like to discuss what calculators people think are the best for math, I personally love my ti-84 silver edition and ti-89 combo, but some people told me they prefer to use ti-nspires, that graphing casio one, hp 33s on math tests, or the classic ti-83s

I'm pretty much like you, the hp doesn't have too many helpful functions. I use a Ti-89 Titanium and a Ti-83. For all the test i use the 89, except sometimes i'll get a matrix that i can do much quicker on the 83.

I've been essentially "raised" off of my TI-84 which is why I still use it most of the time [for speed purposes]. I only then switch over to my TI-89 Titanium when my TI-84 can't do stuff I want it to do...

I had no calculator last year, so I had to borrow an 83 from my school. This year, I bought an 89 and use that along with an HP. I really use only the 89 on Math, though, because I don't have an 84 to use, and the HP isn't very useful.

Everyone have interesting comments, I like the ti-84 because its tends to be easier and more flexable to use, whereas the ti-89 allows for exact values and calculus use are amazing. Anyone know any good tricks for these calculators. And yeah i agree the hp 33s aren't that good for the math test
