Graphing Calculators

Which one should I get? Which one do you use?

Guess I was expecting too much from Sup Forums. This board must really be full of neets who would have no use for one.

take one with a display that is readable in the darkness

ti86 titanium

They are overpriced for what they are. Ti-84 silver edition (or color version if you want a color screen but a slower calculator) is good for high school math, but get a ti-89 if you are doing more college level math.

University student, dumb ass. If you actually went to college, you would know that these are the only ones permissible on tests, but you have no clue about that, since you're in mommy and daddy's basement busy masturbating to Japanese cartoon porn.

I meant ti 89, been a while.

No one uses a graphing calculator after middle school, shit for brains. Kill yourself.

Really doesnt matter

>I never graduated middle school.

Why am I not surprised.

Check your syllabus senpai i had many professors that were very particular on which calculators could and could not be used.

My school required the casio.
Meh

Its actually useful in low light situations.

i'm 3rd year physics undergrad but ok, assume away pre-calc boy

Learn to sketch graphs by hand.

WEW LADS ITS A 3RD YEAR UNDERGRAD

Retard.

Damn, do you know tripple integrals?

>tfw full ride at UCLA
>tfw mocked by Sup Forumstards

>his university allows the use of graphing calculators
How does it feel to be as smart as a sack of Irish potatoes?

HP 50g

Why does the TI-85/86 have the best menu system and why doesn't TI recognize that fact?

Yeah if anything these were the calcs we couldn't use. At the very least they made us "register" them before the test by allowing the prof to clear the memory

Congrats

>Not being able to link/highlight someone properly
Shit this is some advance mental retardation

nice aggression faggots who sit around at home when it's friday night.
i don't count, i'm old

see

Voyage 200, unless you're a kid.

TI
it may be technically inferior but most professors will be used to it

The 92 and V200 menus are vastly superior.

Hp50g
It's great, had a CAS and does 3d graphing

my nigga

HP 50g, if you use anything else you are a cuck and should kill yourself

TI-89

I still use my TI-92. It's not even a Plus.

That's what happens when you try to brag anonymously online.

No one cares about your goals/job/problems. We've all got our own shit to deal with.

>not using an emulated TI on Android

TI NSpire CX CAS

TI Nspire CAS
Yeah Boi

>graphing
for what purpose

TI Nspire CX Cas

But a used one of craigslist or some shit, I got 2 ti-83 for 5$ each.

What the fuck is wrong with colleges in the US??? My friends uni (he's a physics MA) permitted the use of smartphone graphing apps as long as they let the professor check the phones for notes and connectivity also they took exams in really small groups so he could keep an eye on everyone. The reasoning for this was that they shouldn't spend money on outdated tech their probably only going to use in college...

wtf is this? Homework in uni? top kek

The highest model TI that your school allows

>Bought a Nspire CAS
>Transfer schools
>New school doesnt allow it
As long as your going to college, avoid CAS

why wont the factor, least common multiple or solve function work on my TI nspire cx cas? Piece of shit calculator

>2017
>He uses a calculator

Update it.

>3rd year physics undergrad
>Hasn't encountered regular need for a graphing calculator
Your school must be pretty fucking shit

My phone is better than all this 1970s tech shit

The TI. It's the educational standard. I bought mine off craigslist for $35. Then I bought my TI-89 for $40 when I took calculus. The only thing I need them for is for exams where they have a portion where they allow calculators.

Otherwise you can use Desmos and Wolfram Alpha.

Fucking this. I was using pic related during exams and sometimes it was so difficult to read when lighting was. Not optimum. I brought one of those small led book lights with me to the exam in case I couldn't read the fucking screen .

Other than that it's pretty solid machine desu

Computational biology major. It just works. Built-in conversions were a lifesaver in physics and chemistry classes.

>Start HS way back in 2005
>Only allowed calculators are the TI 83, 84 and variants so I buy a TI 84 plus (picture related)
>Served me trough HS and University
>Thought the thing would have been phased out years ago until I run into one in a store
>Turns out they're still selling the damn things for the same price I bought one well over a decade ago
I guess calculators are just one of those things that eventually got to the point where the market completely and utterly stagnated...

My community college allows it. I actually go to uni but like to take my calculus at the community college for the small class size and tutors there. What they do is only allow a calculator for a small portion of the exam and they don't mind the cas in Calc. They don't want us to be burdened with factoring and other stuff we already learned and know in lower classes.

Dindus and exchange students cheat like motherfuckers so we can't go on honesty rules.
Seriously nearly half my Calc2 class got expelled because they were all arab exchange students that didnt speak english and would just brazenly cheat

Emulate a TI calculator

There are much more powerful ones out, will solve integrals in full for you and all that shit, but no school allows them on tests because you're not proving you know the material, so nobody ends up buying them

>all that mumbo jumbo

I know you're memeing but the one on my watch is amazing

They did finally improve upon it. I saw a classmate with a new model and it had a multi-touch color-screen. Fucking best thing to have in a graphing calculator. She was able to pinch-zoom the x and y axis independently to get the window just right. It was pretty cool.

>computational biology
Why would you hurt yourself this much?

I went all the way through engineering school without using one. Its honestly a crutch. just git gud at math

The ti-inspire?
that thing is pretty cool desu. at least its better value for money compared to the 7mhz processor ti83

TI-89 is a favorite of many people. I've never owned one but I don't know if I like the fact that it uses BASIC as it's scripting language.
The HP 50 uses true patrician RPN, and it's scripting language reflects this as well.

ironically, the Voyage 200 looks like a toy compared to the TI-92.

MATLAB

I used to use pic related for a while. It did everything I wanted it to, but i sold it because I didn't actually need a calculator this advanced, I do civil eng so there's basically no mathematics.

I'll probably buy one again in the future because it was so much better than the standard casio that I use now.

oh yeah also RPN is a meme. I tried it for a while and I understand why some people like it but algebraic makes much more sense for engineering because you can go through the history and see entire equations etc.

I liked my 89 since it was higher resolution (and could visually display fractions as such,) could manipulate variables symbolically (2*A would give you 2A instead of the value of 2 times whatever A is,) and operation felt more like working with the command line on my old 8-bit computer. Hit the sin key, and it would enter s-i-n-( as separate individual characters, versus the other TI calcs that would treat sin( as a single token. That last one is geeky sort of thing that I liked about it.

lol this shit is first year physics undergrad in Ausfailia

Ti Nspire.

>not using an RPN calculator
got this one at $60 new in box. I knew about RPN before but I never had a real rpn device, i had no bigger issues while using it for the first time. Did I do good?
(obviously not in the US)

the 50g has an unlimited stack RPN

>not computing with an abacus

50g is best even though it is literally an hp48g with a faster processor and worse RPN support. Also you have to change a default flag to put menus on the f buttons. (You can find the dot product of two matrices by pressing one button. You do not need to hunt through the menu every time, just put it on the f butons. Same for any function you use regularly.)

Best buttons: 48g. ti 36 silver keys feel nice but the rest are meh.

Avoid buying an hp35s. It's 40 year old programming hacked together by a pajeet and put in a new case. The buttons RANDOMLY do not register keypresses. Yes, randomly. RPN stack is limited to four places even though memory to allow a stack limit in the thousands would cost pennies. Many common functions for college science classes are hidden deep in menus. The matrix solver is almost unusable. There is no visual matrix display, you enter one number at a time and then specify the dimensions.

Matrix functions on ti36xpro are hidden in menus but usable.

hp34s is a rom hack. It's not usable for anything. It's a conversation piece and nothing more.

hp48g: there is a reason they still sell for hundreds on ebay.

------

My favorite two are the hp50g and the casio fx-260.

The casio got me through calculus 4.

hp50g (and the hp48g) is a godsend for engineering. You can save any value as any name you want. You can write programs. It can solve calculus problems for you. (Yes, the hp48g was solving integrals and doing linear algebra since 1993.)

I keep the casio on me at all times. It's pretty much perfect for any day to day use.

You think they let you use your phone for college?

Also have this casio 115.

All functions are hidden in menus and in general using the calculator is a pain in the ass.

Get whatever your school/professor wants you to use.

>tfw all the good RPN scientific calculators are 20+ years old and cost hundreds.

Nice thumbnail, retard

...

HP 50g is the most patrician calculator ever made. It's the Masamune of calculators. It's plastic is folded a thousand times, only a few of the highest tibetan monks have the secrets of it's CIs. These monks once a year climb the highest mountain in Asia to bless those components.

>I never had a real rpn device

oh, only if you knew...

History major here I just wanted to tell you techies that you're worthless compared to me

yeah it is everywhere.
I think they call it physics 2

I have a TI-89 and a TI-36x Pro. If you absolutely need a computer algebra system, the 89 is a good choice and its ubiquity means you have access to a library of BASIC programs the newer TI models lack. Personally, I find myself using my 36X most of the time because nearly all of my classes (chemE major) require a scientific calculator instead of graphing. Even in the rare instance where a class of mine allowed a graphing calculator, I never felt there was a patent advantage with the 89. The 36X is far easier to use and its natural display is great. I can't comment much on HP calculators but there are many people who swear by RPN.

wow you want a fucking cookie you big baby? no one gives a fuck about your gay achievements

Get the casio. You can overclock the CPU to 250MHZ (makes graphing instant), and you can load custom programs written in C++.

>he doesn't go to Berkeley

HP Prime app on my phone

good luck trying to program the casio.

at least the casio has a fast (and good) integrator

>wp34s is a rom hack. It's not usable for anything.
why?
(i read somewhere that there is a group of people writing a replacement firmware for the 50g using directly the ARM CPU and not the Saturn emulation.

There are mountains of obscure mathematical functions that are mapped directly to the keys using the three shift buttons.

The buttons are topped off with paper stickers.

Operating the thing is obtuse.

It's hacked from a chink-shit business calculator with pointy sides.

>the manual is over 200 pages long

I just personally found it so disagreeable that I couldn't use it for more than five minutes before I put it on the shelf and forgot about it.

I really do prefer the $8 casio fx-260 over this monstrosity.

Hp 50g

Ti calcs are all a meme. This thing can be had for 50 bucks and does everything the TI-89 does and more because of RPN notation.

>nobody except high school students buys calculators

What if I just like having a physical calculator user? It lasts forever on battery and feels nice to use vs a phone or computer. I can do my final drafts in another package.

Get a TI nspire CX cas. It's a wonderful and sophisticated calculator.

>the manual is over 200 pages long
i printed the whole 50g manual (~950 pages) so that's nothing
