My freshman high schooler needs this fancy calculator, does it come with instructions on how to use it? Or is there a website for a tutorial?

Instructions came with mine, though the teacher is showing the kids how to use it.

Yes, the school my children go to ask specifally for this calculator. My son used his through 6th grade and now will be for 7th. I had to purchase another one due to another child going into 6th grade this year! My soon to be 7th grader said it is a great calculator.

This is not a calculator. It is a keypad to operate the calculator function in your computer. It must be plugged into a USB port in the computer in order to enter numerical data and arithmetic commands for display on the computer monitor screen.

This calculator does have some physical constants programmed into it, but I can't tell you which ones because I returned mine to Amazon due to the mixed up keys that I mentioned in my review. I ended up getting an older HP from Ebay instead, since I've had my other HPs for so long without any problems, and all the new calculators I've tried are junk. I think the manual for this calculator can be downloaded from the Sharp website and it should have a listing of the constants in it. Note that the quality control on these is terrible and the warranty is useless, but it is inexpensive. If you do decide to get one make sure that the keytops on your calculator match the ones in the photos - some on mine were mixed up (read my review) and I'm sure it isn't the only one like that. I was a physics major back in the early 90s, and I had a laminated card that fit in my 3-ring binder with about every constant you'd ever need on it - more than is in any calculator. I don't know if they still make those, but that might be a better route - and you could certainly make one yourself. Yes, you have to punch them in the calculator manually, but that's no big deal. Trust me, after you do that enough times you will end up having a bunch of the constants at least partially memorized, and that can be a huge help on exams, oral comprehensives, lecturing, etc.

I think it would be very helpful because it is capable of solving equations. You would find more benefits than the wasting of capabilities. The only problem is that the calculator is so new there isn't really any helpful videos on how to use different features on the calculator so you have to depend on the manual a lot. I am using this calculator for statistics right now.

It work excellent, it makes any calculus you need, include programming in TI-Basic that it´s very usefull. I´m very happy with my TI Nspire Used buy in Amazon for less $30.

"CAS is an acronym for Computer Algebra System. With this, you can calculate or manipulate high-level expressions such as differential, integral, or limit." So, that is the definition that Casio is applying to the Class Pad 330 calculator. You might simply say this calculator is using programming to resolve mathematical problems. However, what specific features are you looking for in a graphing calculator? If you are asking if this calculator will connect to your computer - well that is a different question.

I'm really not certain, but, this calculator that I purchased from Amazon is G R E A T !!!

Thanks for your comment. I was going to purchase this, however seeing as how all of the information entered was the same sans age and you got two very different answers, this calculator seems faulty.

Yes, Christina there is a manual. You can order it from Texas Instruments. However, often you can put your specific question through Google and get a direct answer. I did for my daughter's TI86 and it was very helpful.

Yeah, I personally used it for my SAT reasoning(Oct 2013) test and my SAT math level 2 Subject Test(Nov 2,2013). Its an acceptable calculator for ALL SAT tests which require a calculator.

Any Casio fx115 series calculator would be very good through college, and I recommend it for this reason. They can stick with this calculator through college and after when they take the PE (processional engineering) exam as this is on their list of allowed calculators. This way they will always be familiar with it and its operations.

I returned this item because the photo when I ordered was different from this calculator, which is the one I received. You know, I just can't remember if it will hold a constant. I also have had a hard time finding a calculator that will hold a constant for calculating percentages. I want to be able to enter the percentage and 'times', and then just keep entering a number and hitting 'equals'. That function, as well as a separate Clear and Clear Entry key are my two requirements, and almost impossible to find any more. Sorry I can't be of more help.

The TI-84 is a great calculator for high school, but as an engineering student I use this calculator for differential equations, advanced calculus, fluid dynamics, and various other critically important and necessary subjects to modern day engineering. For an additional 30 dollars it is absolutely worth the upgrade.

Tony, I have the instruction sheet but no way to scan it. If you have a fax machine, let me know the telephone number and I will be happy to fax the instructions. gstapltn@uic.edu

small paper manual came with mine. Try google search for: Manual for Sharp EL-1197PIII calculator. I'll bet there's one online.

No. I bought this calculator for clients with disabilities, because of the large print and the easy reading of the numbers. 8 out of ten continue to use the calculator with math questions I give them. So I think it is a success. I did purchase some from the Dollar Store but they fell apart after a few uses. These are great. I would highly recommend them for people of age and still pay their bills.
