Texas Instruments TI36X Solar Scientific Calculator
Product Description Ideal for students at every level, from junior high school algebra to college calculus, the Texas Instruments TI36 packs a lot of punch in a small, inexpensive unit. This solar-powered calculator combines features for statistical analysis, Boolean logic operations, and unit conversions in one sleek package. Math students will appreciate TI36X's ability to perform fractional equations and calculate angle units (radians, grads, degrees) when performing trigonometric functions. Everyone will find the calculator's English/metric conversions helpful. The TI36Xs single-line LCD is a little difficult to read when the unit is lying on a desk, and users in need of graphing functions will have to look elsewhere. Overall, however, for a calculator in this price range, the TI36X provides enough power for most high-level math and science needs. Product Description Solar-powered calculator for science and math Base conversion and calculations (Decimal, Hexadecimal, Binary, Octal) 15 Parentheses levels 3 memories 8 Physical constants Up to 4 pending operations Includes A76 battery (pre-installed), case and instructions Reader Reviews As somebody involved in the physical sciences, I find these little guys really handy. I try to keep one around at all times. Usually I end up leaving them behind and having to buy another one every 6 to 12 months. I've been buying TI calculators like this for most of the last decade. Now I've bought one for my son (algebra in middle school) and wife (algebra in college). If you need something more complicated than this, learn RPN and get an HP, get one of those graphing goodies, or use a computer. But if you just need basic math functionality, without having to write complex formulae, this one is a honey. It may not immediately spit out 68!, but that's not a problem I typically encounter. The photo-voltaic is sensitive enough to be useful--I don't miss the days of having to keep a spare set of batteries around. I've never been able to wear one of these out, so I cannoton the long-term viability of the keyboard or display, but at this price, I can afford to buy the latest upgrade each year & not worry too much.
