Need a good inexpensive financial calculator for my business finance class. I signed up for the class last semester but never took it. I've forgoten what the teacher had recommended and I am taking the class this summer so I need to get one fast.
 
Texas Instruments BA II Plus or HP 12C calculator. These two are approved by AIMR, a body that award CFA title to financial practitioner.
 
Had my eye on the HP12C one. It seems a little expensive and very small but I had a friend tell me it was decent.
 
HP 12C. I've never used it, but HP calculators in general are worth the extra money because:

1) They're always extremely sturdily constructed. The buttons have a great 'feel' to them, and the plastics are a lot thicker and better-quality than any other calculator manufacturer's.

2) The RPN system! It takes a while to learn and may turn you off, but I swear to God once you've learned it you'll never go back! Once you become proficient, you can input your numbers and get a result 12X faster than other people using 'normal' calculators. You'll have your answers while everyone else is picking away.
