<p>I have an old TI-83+, but I overclocked it and wrote a new assembly OS with my friend, so it's honestly about up to speed with the new(er) calcs. 89 Titanium looks sweet though.</p>
<p>I prefer the HP-49g+ over Any TI model. I am addicted the the reverse polish notation entry system. Doese anyone else use an HP calc.</p>
<p>There is no point in having a graphing calculator to begin with.</p>
<p>well i guess if you're really into these...
</a></p>
<p>I used a slide rule on a state exam. I only needed 3 sig figs so it was no problem. You should have seen the look on my teachers face.</p>
<p>My favorite calculator is the TI Voyage 200.</p>
<p>You pansies. I still use an abacus.</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>I use rocks on the ground, or my fingers.</p>
<p>I keep tapping my foot on the ground until the people around me look up.</p>
<p>I've lost my ti-83 but the calc..</p>
<p>It couldn't do three dimensional graphing and it wasn't capable of indefinite integration. It also wasn't capable of Gaussian elimation and couldn't deal with matrices well. </p>
<p>So now, maybe for the best, I've got to run to the store and shell out 150 (162 with tax) dollars for a ti-89 titanium.</p>
<p>Kids these days. Why, back in '99 when I was in high school, we used to have to settle for TWO-dimensional graphs! And when we wanted an upper triangular matrix, we had to do all the row operations ourselves!</p>
<p>(NSFW in terms of language, but funny as all getup, esp for those of us in our mid- to late-twenties...)

<p>A while back, I was whistling the Smurfs theme and my college-aged brother had no idea what I was whistling. I thought I was going to cry.</p>
<p>Just tell him to watch the new UNICEF commercial.</p>
<p>lol, but it just struck me that it was ironic that this was on the engineering majors part--of course engineers know everything about what good calculators are =p</p>
<p>Ti-89 Titanium; bought it last month. It is awesome. Buying a 92 may be unnecessary and is more like a mini-laptop.</p>
<p>I dont understand, how can you be allowed to use a calculator that does everything for you =\ ?? I use simple scientific calc for calculus and everything…</p>
<p>Holy three-year-old threads, Batman!</p>
<p>The 89 is large step up from the 83 and 84 - I’ve owned all three. However, I don’t really use a calculator much and I’m in EE. It’s banned on most exams and outside classes it’s easier to use software like MATLAB, Mathematica, or even just Google calculator.</p>
<p>I haven’t heard most of this thread but…i own a ti-89 but I’ve only used it for 1 class! i feel so ripped off :(. I’ve never touched it during my internships and have a hard time imagining a situation where i’d need one when i graduate.</p>
<p>I would go with the TI 89 Titanium if in college, but in high school TI 84 Plus.

<p>I’ve had an 89 for a while and use it for engineering classes, and also used it in stats, physics, etc. I need some kind of calculator for sure, though I don’t need the CAS part much or at all. It’s more convenient to carry around a calculator than a computer, and I know how to use it better, so I use the calculator instead of software/woflram alpha.I don’t use it in math, there is no need. (I’m taking higher level math classes as a double major). I’ve also never had a test where I could only use a scientific calculator in college, they either allow calculators or they don’t.</p>
