I used to own a TI-36 made by Texas Instruments. That was a nice calculator, but then I decided to upgrade to this calculator. There are many differences that set this calculator apart from the TI-36. First of all, I love the 2 line display that displays the equation or whatever you just typed in on the top line and the answer on the bottom. Makes a perfect alternative to a graphing calculator that is very similar by displaying whatever you originally typed in. The TI-36 did not offer this. THis is a big plus. Also, whenever you need to indicate a negative value, you can either use the negative button or the minus button before the value... for example, if you wanted to enter -5, you just have to key in - 5. With a TI calculator, you have to key in the five first, and then the negative sign. The TI way used to cause me to make some errors, but the Casio way is very logical! Finally, you can use this calculator in any lighting condition. Because of three way power, you can use the solar panel in bright conditions and battery power in dark conditions, all automatically without any user interference! There are tons of calculations that you can do with this calculator. Although this calculator may seem a little expensive for a scientific calculator, I highly recommend it! It is definitely worth the money! Comment | | (Report this)
