What's the best graphing calculator I can buy?
 
I'd like to hear some suggestions. I don't have my eye on anything particular at the moment.

will a laptop with matlab do the job?

Sorce 01-09-2019 04:23 PM

Isn't there a phone app out there that can do this stuff?

eDave 01-09-2019 04:23 PM

Texas Instruments TI 84 Plus

There's really no alternative.

There's an app for that these days....

Is a TI-89 still good? That was all the rage back in high school

I was forced to learn math because there would be times I would be without my calculator...

My parent never bought us a calculator.

Why the **** do you need a graphing calculator?

If it’s for taking a class, buy the one the syllabus tells you to.

Rain Man 01-09-2019 07:53 PM

When I was in college, most people owned TI-30 calculators, but I rolled with the more slim and sleek TI-25. I used that one calculator all through engineering school and beyond.

Don't buy one; use Desmos.

Send me $20 for saving you $100.

I had a TI-89

Used it as a gameboy more than anything. You could save formula's in it, which is what I liked.

srvy 01-09-2019 09:41 PM

I still roll with my HP 41 cx I have had for over 30 years. It confuses the youngsters with its reverse polish notation. It got the Apollo astronauts to the moon and back so good enough for a dumb old surveyor.

I have two HP 11C and a HP35S. In high school my Dad taught me RPN on his HP67 with the red seven segment LED display. I can barely use an AOS calculator anymore

Real men use calculators you have to plug into a wall.

Yep rpn was genius it just makes computations so much easier. I had a HP 45 before it got stolen out of my work truck.

TI-89 all the way. Does pretty much anything you need, but not a pain to use for simple stuf too. I’ve had mine for nearly 20 years now so durability is good.

Fish 01-10-2019 12:20 AM

Look what I found in the closet... LOL....

That's an adding machine, Doris. How much was my tuna melt again? Keep the tip.

I think I finally got rid of mine a couple of years ago.

Skyy God 01-19-2019 05:00 PM

TI-85, brah.

Clearly the pinnacle of 1993 technology still reigns supreme.

Jesus. Stay away from the 200 dollar rube calculators. Jupytor Notebooks and Python are what you're looking for in 2019. And if you're a grown ass nerd you could just get by with Java apache commons math libraries.

kccrow 01-19-2019 07:32 PM

Last one I used was a TI-89.

I think they make some new fancy shit called an Nspire.

Either way, go with Texas Instruments.

Superbowltrashcan 01-19-2019 08:23 PM

Wabbitemu let’s you pick your TI model of choice and is completely free. It is available for Windows and IOS. If you have an Android phone you can download it to that as well.

The greatest thing about these back in the day was when someone got ahold of games for the TI 85. Even remember one that was some sort of drug dealing sim.
