I know my TI-83+ like the back of my hand...so switching to the ti-89 would fvck me up.

 

[brunswickite]

if you plan on taking any math past calc 1, and engineering classes the ti-89 is the best investment you cna make.. if your in hs then 83 is fine

On a lot of TI graphing calculators you can program/download games.

Command & Conquer was a computer game franchise made by westwood studios. Unfortunately EA has taken over

A lot of college prof. will NOT allow the Ti89, as it DOES a lot of Cal. for you. Not like help you, but just does it and spits out the answer. So a lot of Prof.'s of course give the answers tot eh problems, you need to show work.

So I say no, the the ti83+ is more then enough for what you are doing and is allowed in even College Cal. classes.

And don't even try and bring in a Ti-92.... like me

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

They need some newer and better games though for the calc... atleast it keeps me awake in some classes

 

[ethebubbeth]

heheh 92 is a monster.... yeah where i go the 89 is allowed on homework (you have to show your work anyway), but is not allowed on tests/midterms/finals.

what was your major?

try doing large systems of equations in an 89, 5 equations 5 unkowns.. sure you could do that by hand but it would kill time during an exam,
sometimes when taking an exam a non-calc exam, but an engineering exam large integrations are part of the problem, and what is being tested is not the integration but the calculation and the problem solving, for those classes most prof dont care if you use the 89 or not...

My Casio Scientific got me thru trig fine.

i knew that. i didnt realize a calculator had the potential for that.


best i ever played was druglords on my 83.

 

[novon]

TI-89 is God

 

[eLiTeGoodGuy]

TI89 is the bomb... I had one they're right it does EVERYTHING for you...

 

[DJFuji]

the 89 is basically a 92 in an 83 shell. It has support for very advanced calc functions. As i remember, it's also allowed on the major tests. (SAT, SAT II, AP Calc, Etc.) If you're on fast track (sr year = calc), buy it.

 

[zixxer]

okay.. how would it do this for me, or how do you do this?

"find all real values of x such that f(x)=0

#48



f(x) = 12-x^2 all over 5

 

[darkshadow1]

I believe they changed the rules so that you cannot use the TI-89 on the SAT's. I may be wrong though, so double check.

I used my TI-89 on the SAT last April just fine.

 

[MikeMike]

no the best game is bomberkids, link it up with a friend, and play 4 player (2 per calculator) or 2 player, its AWESOME

[Random Variable]

I just downgraded from a TI-89 to a TI-83 Plus because the the TI-83 Plus is much better for statistical work.

easy.

solve((12-x^2)/5)=0,x) and voila.
