Which graphing calculator is used in colleges?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I need to get a graphing calculator because some lowlife scum took mine at the end of last year and wanted to get an idea of what you guys reccomend so I don't have to buy another one next year.

The TI-86 is priced pretty close to the 84 and the 89 is within $17 of those so none of them are much more expensive than the other. I think I remember someone saying you can't use the 89 with certain professors/tests, which is why I pretty need someone to help me decide between the 86 and 89.

Any advice?

Friend of mine just got his masters in mathematics, and he was still using a TI-83... Whatever you can get really... All the new ones just have more extra stuff.

What are you going to be majoring in?

I am engineering and have found the TI-89 to be useful.
I wouldn't count on being able to use your programmable calculators on exams though...

You will more than likely not be able to use anything above a Ti-83/Ti-84 on a test, and in many cases you won't be able to use any calculator at all.

I would get the a used Ti-84 and a used Ti-89.

Something in engineering followed hopefully by an MBA along with a minor or two.

ti-89 seems to work really well for me in HS in calculus and Physics C.

most of the time you can use anything that doesnt have the huge display like the 92 and shizzle

The TI-89 has been discontinued.

The TI-89 Titanium replaces the TI-89.
