This vs Ti 84? My school uses 84's. Am I missing out on any features by getting this one?

Hi Jessy, my daughter says you don't miss out on any features but the Casio is way more complicated than the TI. Even her math teacher was unable to help my daughter navigate the Casio. If all your classmates have the TI, it would make your life easier to get the TI so you can be on the same page as them. My daughter missed out on a bit of classroom instruction because she was too busy trying to figure out the Casio.

I think this one has all features, just the user's interface is soooooo bad and it s so hard to use...

It is somewhat similar to the TI 92 graphing calculator; however, it is definitely not the best source for graphing specifically. It has nice 3-D pictures but I usually use other sources online for graphing problems. If a graphing calculator is what you're looking for, I would get a newer model because this calculator is better for solving difficult equations and have step by step instructions to solve them. My primary reason for purchase was for assistance in my calculus 3 class.

My vote is for the h/p Prime. I tried the TI-nspire, similar to the Casio in terms of buttons and general layout, but found the Prime to be easier to use as a calculator. Other than raw programming power (the Prime will win this race, I think), the Prime is designed like a calculator: all the frequently used functions are on keys and that speeds up both calculating and programming. Keys on a calculator use less power than a touch screen, last way longer and in the case of h/p, are really dependable. If your initial purchase is for education, I think the Prime will be a calculator you will keep for use at work. My vote is for the h/p Prime.

The BA plus (not the pro) is likely what your prof is looking for. Check your syllabus and with prof. The Plus PRO does a few more things than the Plus, so I would check but you are possibly safe with the cheaper Plus. Never hurts to make sure.

Yes. It's better than the TI in a lot of ways, does more, and the price is right. (I'm a pre-calculus teacher).

Good question, unfortunately no. If you are having a problem with your calculator I recommend contacting TI for trouble shooting and other advice in addition Best Buy is awesome for assistance. As with all technology keep away from water and try not to drop. Otherwise it is pretty sturdy.

10bII+ has more equation functions than the standard 10bII. If you are going to use it for a basic fiance class you will be fine with either, but I think they are they same price so you will just get more with 10bII+, also rumor has it that the 10bII+ runs a bit faster, however that is what my professor told me, as I didn't really get to compare that theory.

For my part, the TI nspire CX CAS is the tops for any and all advanced math problem solving. You have the ability to "program" it to do almost any math problem imaginable if that solution is not already in a downloadable pack. There are a lot of good tutorials and examples as well as math packs that can be loaded. The ability to connect it to your computer and generate your math solutions and then download it to the device is great. Hope this helps.

Although the capabilities are virtually the same as the TI83's, I think the the interface is much better in Casio, specially when you are working with graphs

The Texas instrument TI 30X second calculator is a two-line scientific calculator for Maths courses. The BA 2 Plus Financial calculator is a specific finance calculator for Finance college courses. Also, this calculator can help to perform common maths. Hopefully this helps you.

Yes, my son uses it on the TI-84 plus C silver addition and it works perfect.

Yes, only this version allowed. Do not get the TI-Nspire CX CAS version. The CAS version is not allowed.

Unknown the TI-NspireCX Cas was requested by my child's school that is the only reason I upgraded from the TI-84.

I imagine you could have the freshman ask the teacher/professor if this would be an appropriate calculator. I will say that we got it for my granddaughter for her 8th grade algebra class and she had learned how to use the non-color one at school; she could show me how to use it. It is also the one they use for high school freshman geometry. Still - I'd have your student ask the teacher. Nice calculator, though!

It does! I work in the Math department, after having tried the TI Nspire for 3 years, we are going back to the TI 84 because we find it far more easy to use.

I purchased this calculator for my 8th grader and she didnt have any trouble using it. Didnt take her any time at all to feel comfortable with it! I would highly recommend it for an 8th grader. Probably even younger grades, too, although it wouldn't be fair for me to say because I purchased it for an 8th grader. I think that even a 4th-5th grader would be able to operate it quite easily, though.
