TI-83 Great Calculator

Advantages: Easy to use and very powerfull
Disadvantages: Can't intigrate or differentiate

I've been using this calculator for the last six years now and it is my favorite model of all Texas instrument calculators. Capabilities: This model is capable of Trig, statistics, multifunction graphing and there are a ton of online programs that can be downloaded to assist in higher level math. In addition literally hundreds of games have been made specifically for the TI-83 model. Functions, Parametric equations, Polar equations, and Sequences can all be graphed using this model. You can also create new executable programs either on the calculator itself or on a computer. The calculator comes with a usb transfer cord so anything created or found via the computer can be easily transferred to the device. Layout: Everything in the TI-83 starts at the home screen, which is blank ready for input of instructions. The 83 does lack ...

Review of Texas Instruments TI 83

Ti-83 addiction

Advantages: Does anything you could ask it to.
Disadvantages: You forget how to do even the most basic maths without it.

The MUST HAVE scientific and graphing calculator in terms of functionality. Having done the International Baccalaureate, my TI-83 was an integral part of my life. Insanely difficult to learn how to use simply because it does so much, once you do learn a few tricks with it you're set to do even the most complex calculations in the blink of an eye, assuming you actually know what you're trying to solve. Being a graphing calculator, it does have a relatively large screen, but in the TI-83 this is only about 6 by 4cm. Still that certainly is good enough to see whether your data forms a curve or a straight line. Changing the window on your graphs (i.e. the X and Y scales) is dead easy using the aptly named "Window" button. But that's absolutely nothing. With a bit of manual reading (if you can bear the weight of the massive manual) you ...

Review of Texas Instruments TI 83

More than just a calculator

Advantages: good handbook, huge RAM and ROM
Disadvantages: pricey

As I'm studying Computer Science / Computer Engineering, I (unfortunately) have to deal with Maths on a nearly daily basis. We are not allowed to use any calculators in the four Maths exams (neither in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Hardware Engineering?) but for home use I wanted to buy myself a calculator to a) control my results (nothing is more annoying than calculating and calculating over several pages and then having to find out that there's a mistake in first few lines) and to b) get a result quickly when I don't have my laptop with my beloved math software around. After some thinking I decided to get the Texas Instrument (TI) Voyage 200 as I've always been very happy with my TI calculators in the past. --------------------------------------------------------------------- What it looks like ...
