Casio fx-83EX is a great school calculator!

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...will be some useful functions on these type of calculators (like solving quadratic equation and drawing out graph transformations etc.) that you cannot do on the Casio fx-83EX. But even now, at university, i still keep this calculator as it is so easy to use and has useful functions that you sometimes don't even get on the very expensive calculators! I would definitely recommend this product! Another last note is to say that to be honest, you don't even need to bother with the instruction manual as it is so simple to use and it is a commonly used calculator in schools so the teachers are bound to know how to do everything!...

Casio Calculator

Advantages: Good Price, Does that it says it will, Solar powered
Disadvantages: None that i can think of

...I bought this calculator at my local woolworths as i was after a scientific calculator and one that was cheap(i paid under £10 for this one which seemed a good price). The calculator is made by Casio which are a well known brand for making anything from calculators to TV's . The dimensions are 84x155x12mm and it is a light too which is a bonus. The keys are large enough for most people and all the writing is clear on and above the keys. This scientific calculator with has 249 functions (164 scientific functions) - including statistic functions. It is primarily aimed at secondary school student but i reckon it will be fine for almost any function unless you need the functions of a graphic calculator It is solar powered so it doesn't require any batteries in order to function however as with all solar powered products,you just...

Review of Casio FX 85 ES

Casio the wonder calculator!

Advantages: Reliable, Long battery life and very handy!
Disadvantages: Long mathmatical equation inputting not so good.

...This Casio calculator has been at my side for approximately at least 5years now, and is in more demand now than previous use. I have used this calculator in 3 main areas. 1. General GCSE 2. Chemistry and Biology A-level and now 3. Chemistry degree (first year only so far?) GCSE: Harking back to the good ole days (why are they called the good ole days? Someone please tell me why!) My calculator joined me in my quest of maths at the tender age of 13, where the most advanced calculations it was asked to do was to deal with are such aspects as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square roots, powers and bracketed equations. These are the basics of most maths until a level maths, and on these small calculations it doesn?t fail. One would think that if it did it wouldn?t really be a good calculator! (By the way...

Casio Calculator

Advantages: Functions, colour, 2 way power
Disadvantages: too complex to use

...I bought this calculator for my A level examinations. It is terribly handy, I do a lot of maths and be it calculus, vectors, complex numbers or statistics, this calculator will help you a lot. Not only does it boast 403 functions, and most of the keys look like that should be on a UFOs spaceship, if you read the handbook and know how to access and use the functions it is great. These functions are not ones that allow you to cheat ( sadly :P) but they do provide a good basis to check your answers, which can be very valuable when you have no clue whether you good be right or not. Also it comes with a solar panel, providing two way power, meaning you dont have to be scared about whether it would stop in the middle of an exam....

Casio FX 85 ES

Advantages: The new casio natural display and solar power
Disadvantages: I'll explain in the review

...Ok the Casio FX 85 ES is simply put the best calculator available on the market that can be used in exams. Casio have recently been working with the Joint Examination board to ensure it's new "student" calculators do not break the rules-so no worries there students! So this natural display-what is it? Basically it allows you to type on the screen as if you were writing it in your book, for example squares roots are real on there and you can do fractions properly. I find it incredibly easy to use and it has gained me an A so far in my A-levels (i'm not that clever honest). Personally i wouldn't read the instructions-merely use them for reference and work everything out on your own-it's easy enough. The calculator boasts all the normal functions including memory storage, radians degrees and gradians functions...

The Simple,Stylish,Concise FX-85ES Calculator

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...

Casio fx-83MS

Advantages: simple, easy to use
Disadvantages: outdated

...This is the Casio FX 83MS Scientific Calculator, for typical use at high school level. This is what you need to keep up in maths at school at GCSE level and beyond. The extra functions of a scientific calculator are necessary for this level of work and are still useful even if you just want to use a calculator simply. Anyway, that applies for any scientific calculator, now what about this one? This is a Casio which is a good sign straight off. Casio is one of the leading brands in the scientific calculator market keeping one step ahead of the rest at all times. Now the recent 'natural display' releases from leading firms are a definite improvement on these originals as they show fractions in the form they are written amongst other things but this is still good enough. There are many different versions of the Casio scientific...

Review of Casio FX 83 MS

The perfect calculator

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: None really

...I'm aware of the fact that there isn't really much to say about a scientific calculator in a consumer review... however this model of Casio has served me well for so many years and faultlessly that it deserved a couple of lines. I am reviewing the Casio FX-570MS Scientific Calculator, a Button-type battery operated calculator with 401 Functions, 2-Line Display and 10+2 Digits. What's good about it? Well almost everything. Let's see some details. As I said it has a two lines display which is helpful when doing calculations since you can see the previous entry/result in the second line while you're starting a new calculation. It comes with slide-on hard case which protects the side where the screen is but can also be slided backwards so there is no chance to lose the cover. Inside the cover there is, printed, a table...

Review about Casio FX 83 ES

Advantages: Lightweight, easy to use, long battery life
Disadvantages: So easy to use you wont want to stop using it!

...I have been using this product for a long time now and I have to say that it has never let me down! It is a stylish piece of equipment with great ergonomics and a very easy to read display. I have to highly recommend this product for any students undertaking their GCSEs or higher - it is a scientific calculator so is ideal for courses such as A level chemistry. The only downside to this calculator is that its so easy to use that you're mental arithmatic level will go right down as you'll never want to put the calculator down! The battery life is exstremely long and as of yet - I have not had to replace them - this calculator has seen me through many exams and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to anyone!...

Review of Casio FX 83 ES

Great calculator

Advantages: Very cheap and solar powered
Disadvantages: No

...Casio is the leader brand in calculators worldwide up to now it's the only brand I ever use. Bought this one from Argos two years ago only to have it as a spare in case the other dies of batteries in the middle of the exam since it was cheap and it was solar powered so no need to have to worry about batteries. When I first switched it on I freaked out when I saw the natural typing they added in this new series of models and was very relaxed when I found out you can remove it and use it like the old models. The natural typing is really good for people who first learn how to use an fx calculator but it's slow and to boring for people who are using fx calculators for years. The features are the same more or less with any other fx calculator and there are many and you have to read the manual if you want to figure them all out but if you...
