Consumer Critiques

Compared it to casio 115es and the sharp 516w (both are best-of-the-line, non-graphing, non-programmable, scientific calculators). This factor blows them away. It is considerably easier to use. It doesn't require specials modes for matricies and complex numbers, and does them on the similar stack (just like CAS calculators). The operation background is implemented just like on ti-89/92. Go up and grab any number from background, and use it in any calculation, by just going up to it, and hitting "enter" (it is simpler than copy and paste). They ultimately fixed the "ten^" dilemma and replaced with the regular "E" button (which takes priority over all other operations). It really is as if they listened to all of my complaints about the ti30xpro and fixed them all and created the ti36xpro. All the additional features (solver, matrix, statistics, formula table, integrals, derivatives) are tremendously intuitive, and I literally never necessary the manual to use them.
An additional Stunning factor (mainly because we're on AMAZon.com), is that just after you solve for items in the solver, or you do the linear fit on your statistical data (as an instance). The calculator essentially saves the variables from their respective solvers into the variables. So soon after you have solved for points, all your solutions are in the variables. IE, you solved for t in the solver = go back to stack, and the variable t will have THE quantity in it. Calculator also remembers the background and the variables when turned off. It is intuitive and hassle-free.
My only gripe is that when editing it defaults to the "replace" process, instead of "insert". I usually want to insert points when redoing calculations, not replace points. It really is an added keystroke, it really is a minor gripe in comparison to how significantly easier it is to use than the competitors on all other counts. A further compact function that I noticed on the Sharp 516 is that it puts apostrophes on the thousands (so it shows "1'000'000" rather of "1000000"), which is a good feature for big numbers. This calculator doesn't do that, it's no biggie.
Far more on the competition. The approach of "mode-switching" that all Japanese calculators are famous for, is antiquated. The casio and sharp calculators literally forget every little thing that was carried out in a single mode and switches to the next. If you solve for one thing in a single mode, forget about it, you have to write it down on paper, for the reason that switching modes deletes history, so there is no way to appear more than it in the calculator itself. Casio 115ES is "impressive" in that it forgets all background when turned off! Say you're performing your homework, walk away to grab a snack, come back, your calculator auto-turned-off, and all your calculations are GONE! "Genius"! The background on each sharp and casio is annoying, you can recalculate the formula from the background, but you can NOT use it in your present formula, and you also cannot grab the answers to use in your current calculation. Just after applying TI's implementation, this limitation is just a cripple.
If you have any q's, let me know I have all three calculators, although perhaps not for long :). If you are applied to cas/graphing calculators, and your teacher does not enable one, this IS the calculator to get. It has the most universal (no mode switching) history/stack program, and it has the most beneficial copy/paste system. I almost don't miss my ti92 on the chem tests :).

This calculator is allowed in the testing space for engineering and surveying exams and can be implemented in classes that ban graphing calculators. The most helpful function for me is that it saves and displays previous entries just like a typical graphing calculator. It also has an exact mode that shows entries with stacked fractions, parentheses, powers, roots, etc. just like a TI-89 and TI-92 and requires the push of one particular button to toggle in between the exact and approximate answer.
I purchased this straight from Amazon shipped rapid in new condition.
