Casio FX 85 MS

Advantages: Good for all you calculations
Disadvantages: Possibly too many actions for the one brain to cope with

...The Casio FX 85MS is a scientific calculator of which I have been using on a regular basis for around two years now. It has a removable cover to keep the face of the calculator unmarked. It has all the traditional buttons you would find on a calculator such as the numbers 1-9 Memory +/-. X, +, -, divide etc. The features you will find on this scientific calculator are brackets ( ) for the use instead of doing 2X4X5 you can do 2(4X5). There are also powers buttons which means you san save time doing same number multiplications There is a replay button so you can scroll along your sums and check to see if you have made any mistakes with the replay you can look at your previous sums by using up and down. That is just the tip of the iceberg to be honest with you all there are so many features on this scientific calculator its beyond... Read review

Advantages: None really
Disadvantages: Really confusing to use

...I have to use a calculator at work, so when my old one finally gave up on me, the company I work for supplied me with another - a Casio fx - 85ms. I've had it for about 6 months now and I still have no idea how to use it. The calculator is approximately 15cm by 9 cm and is only 1.5cm thick. It weighs a mere 138g so feels quite light for quite a large calculator. It is two way powered (solar power or 1.5V battery) and comes in a greyish - black plastic. It has a flat cover that can be slid off and on to protect the calculator front when not in use. There is a two-line display that makes it possible to view both the calculation formula and its result at the same time. The Casio fx - 85ms comes with clearly displayed numbers and signs (such as addition, multiplication etc.). It is divided into three main sections. The bottom section... Read review

Advantages: Good and easy to use interface, sytlish, clear and concise
Disadvantages: None, really

...Casio has invented a new model of calculator. With textbook display and good functions, maths students will be very pleased! It has a simple to use interface with over 100 functions. It has been developed from the FX85MS which was also a great calculator. It is also solar-powered. It is stylish and looks really good. With a case to protect it when it's not being used it saves the calculator from being damaged in most cases (water sipllages). The calculator comes with a instructions manual which contains all the relevant uses for the calculator and ways to use and how to use the diffferent functions on the calculator. The calculator can erase it's memory and be used in 3 different modes depending on the type of maths. It is available in all good retail shops (stationery box, sainsburys and tescos +maany more). For a price of 10 pounds... Read review

Advantages: Integration and Differentiaiton features
Disadvantages: None that stand out

...This is a great calculator and is a real step up from the casio fx-83 MS which is the calculator I had previously. It has all the features of the typical scientific calculator and all the keys are in the same place as the fx-83 and the other casios. However, to make this calculator stand out from the rest is the fact that it can solve quadratic equations adn also differentiate and integrate. If you have ever had problems integrating etc. or you want to check you answers to integration/differentiation in the exam, then this calculator will find the solutions for you. At first, it isquite difficult to find the solutions quickly, although once you know how to use the functions, you'll be able to differentiate and integrate in seconds. The solar-powered feature alongside the normal battery means that it is pretty impossible... Read review
