Customer Review: I hate the buttons on this calculator!
Summary: 2 Stars
I had to get this calculator for a professional engineers' exam (it was one of 4 approved calculators to take into the test). I've been using it to study and HATE how difficult the buttons are to press. I'm quite speedy on my Texas Instruments TI-82 but this one is painfully rigid. I originally thought it was a good idea to go with an approved calculator that resembled by TI-82 to most so I wouldn't have to relearn where all the functions are. Now, I'm second-guessing that decision and hope I'm not too fast on it during the exam so that I don't come up with wrong answers. My fingers are crossed but I really do not like this calculator so far... if you have a choice, go with another one.Customer Review: Good calculator, flimsy case
Summary: 4 Stars
This calculator has all the functions I need for a graduate level statistics class. I especially like the 2-line display, which makes it easy to type in long strings of numbers without forgetting your place. The only reason I failed to give this calculator 5 stars is the case. It is incredibly flimsy and leaves me with no sense of certainty that the calculator is safe bouncing around in my bag.
EDIT: I have had this calculator almost 3 years now and the "flimsy" case is still intact, even though it has been bouncing around in my bag all this time. It still works and the case still protects it. I guess it's not that flimsy after all.
Customer Review: BEST 5 Stars
Trust me on my word. This is the best calculator ever. And if you dont believe me just because i am a kid, well it's your loss. I bought this calculator and i gave it to my older cousin and he is in high school. Then he gave it to me and i am using. If your wondering what a 12 year old is doing with a scientific calculator well i go to HUNTER COLLEGE and it is from the 7th grade to the 12th. This claculator is best for freshman high schoolers and going to college. The only con is the buttons wiggles, but everything else is fine. Buy this calculator for a fine price or you will be sorry. it works from pre algebra to pre-cal and knows trigonometry.Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this for advanced algebra I and it works great as a scientific calculator! (I still have to have a graphing calculator, but that is too big to carry around all the time.) I use this for everything I do math-wise and it works great!
Pros: well...it does what it's meant to do, and does it well. And at a great price, too!
Cons: I left it in my binder without the cover, and I think making it turn on and off all day long broke it. We tried replacing the battery but that didn't work. Also, I like a slide-on cover better than the span-on cover that this calculator has. Still, I am completely satisfied with it!
Customer Review: Student Friendly
Summary: 5 Stars
I teach eighth grade math and use this calculator all of the time. Many of my students own this calculator and are amazed at all of its capabilities. The most facinating aspect is the fraction feature. Teaching my students to simplify complex fractions and then watching them "see" their calculator do it is fun. The paranthese function comes in handy when dealing with negative numbers raised to powers, and the order of operations feature makes it easy for my students to check their work. These are just three of the many capabilities of this product.I would highly recommend this calculator to any student grades 7-12.
