What Calculator To Get?

[Faux]

 

My parents got me a TI-84 non silver one. It's pretty ok but haven't used it a lot yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone recommend me games?

 

 

 

check the TI site (ti.com) or http://www.ticalc.org/pub/83plus/basic/games/.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ive got a ti84+ that i use for uni, during highschool i had a ti83. apparently ti84+ is 2.5 times faster than ti83 at processing, which is a bit of an advantage for games (running games that work on 84+ or higher...which is none that i can think of :? ).

 

 

 

when i was in highschool all silver editions were banned from exams, got no idea why though...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I want an exact name and link of a game. I know that site but all I got from there are [cabbage]ty games. I have bad luck when choosing stuff there. Got any recommended games?

I've been using a TI-83 for years now, still capable of doing everything it has to do. More people here use a 83+ though... oh well, I can still play Bubble Bobble on mine, so I'm not complaining :P

I use a TI 83+, it works perfectly for me, and runesmithie if u want to play games, buy a PSP or a Nintendo DS. Don't play games in class, it isn't cool or something, becouse if u pay attention u have only half as much work to do at home :o

[weezcake]

Phoenix X is a good game. :P

Lmao, i have that one on my calc, it's really bad for my 2nd button :D

 

 

 

But it's kinda a lame game, with the graphics of games that are from 1976 :lol:

I've thought about that and I'm getting the TI89 so I can stuff its throat full of a game or two and science/math apps

I've looked at a few reviews, and if anyone here owns a TI-89 add me on msn please =\

I personally use a ti 84+ silver and am very happy with it though i don't know anything about the 86. compared to an 83 though the 84 is nearly the same but is 2.5 times faster (or so I've heard) and has far more memory. (so the 84 is better but obviously more expensive)

I have a 83+, but theres a girl in my class with a 89, ive tried it and i highly reccomend it....

[Cru5tyPi22a]

Dude, get a TI-89 Titanium, I have one and it kicks freaking arse. :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can put a lot of games on it, and plus it's been very useful in my Pre-Calculus and AP Statistics class. :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is a bit pricey, but I plan on keeping it through college, and my parents paid for it anyways lol. :lol:

[runesmithie]

I got my TI-89Ti on Saturday :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sweeet little thing, I'm gonna miss you during the ACT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was such an unfair advantage on the PSAT :D

[Cru5tyPi22a]

Very nice, runesmithie :lol: . Yeah, I got my PSAT this coming Saturday, and I'm looking forward to using my TI-89 titainium on it :P .

I have been using some TIs as of late and I can now report the following. In addition to basic math, logs, etc:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ti-83 = Graphing

 

 

 

the casio = Logic (solves formulas, derivities, standered deviation, etc)

 

 

 

89 = Graphing and Logic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technically speaking the 89 is the best but you cant use it on any standerized tests or some teacher's tests. Buying a the casio and a 83 is the best par se, it is cheaper and both are allowed on every test. Only problem is you will need 2 calculators if you want to graph and solve equations on the same test/assignment

[weezcake]

I think the 83 is better with statistics than the 89, but I'm not sure. :)

[Cru5tyPi22a]

I'm pretty sure the 89 can do everything the 83 can do with statistics. :wink:

 

 

 

I have an 89, and in my statistics class my teacher uses the 83 to teach, but I've been able to do everything on my 89 that she has done in front of the class with her 83. I hope that made sense :P

Someday if need be I might get a secondhand 83+

can't go past the casio. i used a CFX 9860GB plus at school. It does everything you could want, solve equations, graph any function you want in colour (well sort of) and so forth.
