Like a charm [Posted on 2006-11-10] Works like a charm. Much easier to use than Texas. Comes with good manual.
Better than the TI [Posted on 2007-06-24] I am a math teacher at a new private Bronx high school, and compared the TI-83 with the Casio in numerous regards before deciding which one our school would use. Hands down, the Casio wins, and it is cheaper as well. Note - I do not work for Casio or TI.
A) The calculator is more user friendly. The options are menu driven in a more intuitive way. What took me a minute or two to locate and figure out out the TI, took less than half the time on the Casio. Don't trust me- see for yourself.
B) The Casio is slightly faster than the TI
C)Features: The casio adds a dynamic graphing system (lets you change a coefficient and watch the graph change), which is very useful when teaching. I also like the EQUA feature, which lets my students calculate 2/3 equations, 2/3 unknowns, and solve quadratic or polynomial equations. Maybe the TI does this too, but I couln't figure it out.
D) The color thing I suppose is nice, but I use the CFX-9750, which is black and white and cheaper.
The only downside is that most colleges use the TI's, unfortunately. I liken it to most places using Microsoft when there are better alternatives out there (monopoly power). Anyway, a student who uses the Casio can do anything the TI-83 can do.
I'm a big fan, and my students seem to like it.
calculator [Posted on 2007-09-19] I would love to write a review but as of right now I have not yet received this product.
GOT WHAT I NEEDED [Posted on 2007-10-03] Very specific instrument. If you need a graphing Calc, in my opinion this is the best "cost efficient"
Good calculator [Posted on 2007-12-02] I have used this caculator for about half a year now. it works wonderfully. it takes a while to learn all the functions and notations and stuff, but once you do, it is so cool. i use it for my math class now, and i am super pleased. i am also glad because it seems very durable. i dropped this thing so many times, but it hasn't broken yet. overall, i would reccommend this to anyone who is looking for a graphing calculator that doesn't mind taking time to learn the fuctions/doesn't care that the screen is black and white. my only problem is that it can't really do inequalities.
