get the python version if you plan on creating custom functions or graphing capabilities as python is easier and more widely applicable than TI-Basic. Chances are if you are in an engineering feild you will know or need to know python so it's quite convenient.
I have it and the only downside so far is that the screen times out/goes to sleep in just 1 minute and there doesn’t seem to be a way to change that. :(
I loved the ti-84 when I was not able to use a CAS system, but now a days and through out my college career I used a ti-nspire cx II which is in my opinion the closest thing to just straight up using Mathematica or matlab on a computer
@@Name..........their college could supply it for them, for example Baylor which I do research for but don't go to, they give their students mathematica or maybe at least like physics and engineering students have access to it on personal laptops. My community college only has matlab and only on their desktops in the engineering/discrete math classes
Most college math courses require this model. That's why I bought one for teaching myself advanced algebra, trig, and now I'm working through Calculus 2. It's useful, but it has its own learning curve. I like it, but Ikeep having to to grow into it.
Makes it perfect though. I’m doing something similar to you, brushing up on Highschool math as prep for College. But I intend to go as far into Calculus as I can before I actually start college in the fall of next year. (Gonna do some sciences too.) I used the TI-84 Silver Edition back in highschool so I’m falling back into things very easily. If you don’t mind I ask, what materials are you using to study?
Yes! I have the TI-84 Plus CE-T "Python Edition". I bought it for revisiting maths, but also because of Python! I support programming languages in classes.
I liked the TI-84 for 10 mins until I realized Desmos graph much faster than the TI-84 and when you add term, you don't have to do the process all over again I still like it, it solves matrices and system of equations with 3 variables or more in my physics and engineering class pretty well. But in Calc 1 and Calc 2, Desmos helped me much more. Too bad most classes I attended don't allow using Desmos due to it being an app on a phone :(
I have the same one, only it's the python edition (meaning the hardware was made to run and execute python scripts). I love it because I can write scripts to quickly execute calculations I need done on a daily basis instead of manually entering them in
I use the calculus calculator app on my phone. It's incredible. It blew my mind how good it is. But of course I will have to eventually get one of those. Looks very
I have a degree in applied math and didnt have a single class that wouldnt let me use a TI-89, so i guess im super lucky. I loved that calculator. I always had to show my work, but it was nice being able to double-check with the calculator and see if i did something wrong.
Nice timing I remember my old school math days and my precious calculator that costed me a fortune at the time. I still have it. Time to relearn how to use it 😅
I have that same casio calculator. I like it because it costs less than half of what the ti-84 base model costs and can do everything the ti-84 can and then some.
A much cheaper option albeit monochrome is a ti nspire with an 84 keypad. They can be powered by batteries and there is a rechargable battery available
If I remember correctly, though, the fact that the TI-92 had a full QWERTY keyboard made it ineligible to use in classes. But I like the TI-89, which I had used back in the day.
Nahhhh, I still use the ti-nspire cs cas to this day which was required in my high school calc class which I also was allowed to use in college ( though they may not have known about its capabilities lol)
I was banned using this in my calc classes. Now I am in an advanced engineering math class covering the Fourier series and wave equations and all calculators are not allowed.
I’ve taught with dozens of graphing calculator models and this is my hands down favorite of all the graphers. CAS is handy for professionals like teachers, engineers, scientists and mathematicians. But I deeply question CAS ever being in the hands of pre-collegiate (and maybe even undergraduate) students. When it comes to other kinds of calculators, some are better than others depending on context. It would take 30 minutes to list all the ones I hate. I’ll say that I probably most despise poorly engineered and/or unethical math smartphone apps (more than anything else out there). Many apps give erroneous results and yet remain for sale. Who knows if these answers are causing disasters. Other apps like photomath outright rob students of learning. Technology can never replace skills and understanding. To the degree that it functionally supplants mankind’s aggregate intellect, we are diminished. It’s important to always consider the paradigm in which technology becomes potentially harmful despite the very best intentions.
No need to pay the big bucks for a graphing calculator. These have very limited application for the average student. For twenty bucks you can buy a superb calculator like the TI 36X Pro or the TI 34 Multiview - both excellent calculators.
Ehh, any money spent on a calculator will pay itself back massively. The TI-84 increased my SAT score by at least 30 points. The N-spires are garbage tho, wat to slow for standardized tests (and not allowed).
@@kolbyking2315 very nice! I applaud your success! you’re an exception especially if you found the graphing feature particularly useful as most students do not develop the analytical skills or properly taught how to use it to their advantage. Although the TI84 is an excellent calculator with tremendous functionality, the TI36x Pro possesses the same functionality and a bit more which you can purchase brand new for a mere twenty bucks whereas the TI 84 still priced at over one hundred bucks. My earlier point is the expensive graphing feature of any hand-held calculator is just not worth the extra money since most students nor any practicing engineers or scientists, for that matter, will use it as there are many software packages and apps available for doing any serious professional work.
You’ll likely have to learn to use it yourself in a course, especially if the teacher teaches with a ti84 in mind, but the Casio fx-cg50 has really grown on me. It’s just faster and more efficient than any ti calculator I’ve ever used
we programes a algebra included old casio engineer xalculator and aced tests buy we were programing as a hobby the concepts was not skiped sin ba ma was the goal
i love the TI-83/84 lines, but i will refuse to use Computer Algebra systems. That's just too much. Do your own algebra. That said, there's a lot of programming you can do inside the TI that students should be encouraged to use, its great to learn CS with.
You can find programs on the internet that will turn this into a CAS calculator but most teachers are smart enough to make you set your calculator to factory settings.
Can you recommend a suitable scientific calculator for undergrad math, science, and engineering courses? There's some classes where you're not allowed to use graphing calculators since they do differentiation/integration, but not all scientific calculators are good. Would be best to have one that does math with complex numbers also
If you are from India, then Casio FX 991 ES + (~1400 rs) or FX 991 CW (~1600 rs) should be good and sufficient I use the 991ES myself and it is quite powerful and satisfies most of my needs
Horrible at calculus courses since it requires too much effort to navigate especially fractions. Ti36x is the best and maybe the Casio 991 but the pi button location is really frustrating
Unrelated easter egg: in any scientific calculator (not on your phone), try computing 69! (it will work), then 70! or higher (won't work) Someone decided the factorial limit should be 69 💀
Because those calculators cannot operate with numbers larger than 10¹⁰⁰. 70! is slightly over that. (Newer) HP calculators don't have that limit, as they can go up to 10⁵⁰⁰.
Like forcing kids in Uni to use ink fountain pens so they'll have wonderful handwriting. 19th C thinking. We should be teaching math instead of hand calculation.
have they seen the Numworks? why these Low resolution screen, Bought the HP Prime returned immediatly the screen was just Awful,(viewing Angles) guys its 2024!!
There's no benefit to buying the TI-84 Plus CE unless your teacher requires it, the Casio CG50 is generally much cheaper (around $50 new on third-party sites), much faster, has 3d graphing, a GUI interface, and the battery lasts longer with rechargeable batteries. It also does have a capable CAS if you install khicas (3rd-party).
Agreed! It's better than a TI-92, because the 92 had a full QWERTY keyboard and this was disallowed in many classes - and especially for standardized tests, like the SAT.
