<p>Which is the better one for a entering freshmen in accounting</p>

<p>uh a freshman in accounting? how about a simple little calculator that you can buy from walmart?</p>

<p>As a senior in HS, for stuff like stats and calc my TI 89 has served me really well. I don’t know much about the TI Nspire though, except that I think it looks really silly.
(sorry this probably isn’t that helpful to you, I don’t know anything about accounting)</p>

<p>for accounting i think an nspire would be more efficient</p>

<p>Why not one of the HP Financial Calculators which are geared towards Business.</p>

<p>lol Nspire are you crazy, you are accounting major not physics engineering math.</p>

<p>I recommend getting a ti-83 for any quant. heavy users, still a basic scientific would do for ALL courses!!!</p>

<p>There’s so many comedians here at College Confidential! (I’m going into Accounting as well)</p>

<p>In my accounting classes, we can’t use anything more complex than a scientific calculator (like a TI-30Xa), so I don’t think that a graphing calculator would be that great of an investment for you…</p>

<p>I haven’t taken any upper-division accounting courses, so I can’t say if they would be needed there (though I doubt it).</p>

<p>We’re allowed any calculators in our math classes (for the business majors) at USC. I personally love my TI-89, but if you’ve never used it before, it’s probably not a great idea to just switch over to it. Stick with what you already know how to use, it’ll make life much easier.</p>

<p>another thing some professors do not allow graphing calcs, as you can program in notes.</p>

<p>so actually buying it may just lead to a waste of money since you arent allowed to use during test…forcing you to buy another calculator (scientific) just for those days.</p>

<p>save yourself a headache, buy a ti30</p>

<p>i doubt accountants need to graph stuff or calculate probability distributions or other rarely used stuff. (graphing…yes rare for me for the most part I only used it in calc 123 diff when i really wanted to visualize a problem, never actually needed to solve a problem…once again lots of prof. dont allow it on test, so never depend on a calc)</p>
