What the fuck is THAT abomination? I must be getting old becuase the idea of a fucking calculator having a backlit display and little app tiles is offensive to me. Is this what kids are learning to math on? That might explain why thrift stores have been cramming full of TI-84 Pluses these days. I sold a few on Ebay for 20 bucks.

>>108834103
Those are awesome for self-study and use, but the problem is you can't use them on tests and they ate batteries like a motherfucker. I think the one I had took 4 AAs.

Anyway, my workhorse calculator is a TI-30XS. It's the true calculator for somebody who needs to sneak some more features into a mathematics class, even where the professor doesn't you graphing shit. It can still run basic tables and advanced statistics and has this nice mathprint feature that lets you stack up complex formulas. I remember running fractions on fractions with it for economics class in college.

No you don't, it's a TI-83/84 family calculator, it's designed for middle to high school classroom use. If I'm not mistaken that one also has a "test" mode that locks it down so you can't open apps and text files and whatnot that you might have installed, to prevent cheating on a test.

Use case for physical calculators in 2020+6?

Jokes aside, why would I use a calculator when every time I have to calculate something I need to do linear programming, solving integrals or differential equations? Matlab or Python is what professional uses nowadays, for everything else in between there's the phone calculator.

>phone this phone that
Nu-/g/ will never even begin to understand the true power of a 20 year old programmable RPN calculator.
Had a calculus2 exam on eg taylor polys and series. I programmed my HP50g to automate the whole process in its entirety, I just need to store the equation and the a-point to a variable. Then I just tap a button for how many degrees of approximation I want. And at any point I can get the intermediate values (nth order derivative and the evaluation of it) with another button, so I can write them down on the exam paper to pretend I did it manually. And then I can plot both equations to see things look right.

Here's the reverse polish lisp:
init:
<< Y Y DERVX A 'X' STO EVAL SWAP EVAL SWAP 'X' PURGE X A - * + 1 'n' STO Y DERVX 'dx' STO >>
step:
<< dx DERVX 'dx' STO n 1 + 'n' STO dxslv n ! / EVAL X A - N ^ * >>
dxslv:
<< dx A 'X' STO EVAL 'X' PURGE >>

This thing is like the Unix of calculators, except with 20x the schizo engineer energy. A tool from a more civilized, competent age.

Voyage 200 here. Ti-89 is a shit.

I have both, Ti-89 is borderline unreadable. Not just the size but something about the LCD panel reflections are just ass. My Ti-83 and Voyage-200 displays are perfectly visible.

I also have the Nspire CX but that is as much as it deserves for mention. Barely lives through the day with a single charge and if I didn't start the boot up 10 minutes before class I would be left behind. At least the backlight helped a lot during the exams in college where the big auditorium lights were ass even on the Ti-83.

Another mention is the Sharp PC-E220 which was a portable ZX-80 computer with Basic and some cool engineering apps preloaded in the Rom. I have the printer for it as well.

Absolutely based. Reminds me of my stats II class I had with just a Ti-83. I figured out how to cheese the tabling system and using nothing but native functions in the calculator I was done with the exam in twenty minutes. I spent the rest of the exam checking my work and then left 15 mins early.

In my country, they force you to do everything by hand. Calculators are for pussies.
>>
>>108839483
For elementary schools, yes. But in university most calculations are so convoluted and tasks get so complicated that hand calculations take up too much time and present a great risk for mistakes. Plus in today's engineering tasks if your country forces hand calculations then your country is most definitely on a much lower level than today's average here in the developed world. Having a calculator and using the higher level scientific functions is a prerequisite for most classes, having knowledge to do programs and automating functions is encouraged.
This doesn't mean we can't do manual calculations but on a 10 problem exam you will only finish the first two maybe in the time limit if you don't use a calculator.
Hell I specifically got a calculator with backlight display so I don't have to waste time squinting trying to read the LCD display in the shit glarefest fluorescent lighting in most of the auditoriums and classrooms. And no the new LED panels are not much better.

I can respect that yes, I wish I had that kind of education background. But I just don't. And I don't have the self-discipline to force myself, my programmer instincts tell me to automate if possible.
In a funny way this calculator is also in large part what motivates me to study math. It's one of those old school poweruser gadgets you can study for a decade before truly mastering. It's infinitely intriguing to get to use it. Math homework for me is all about figuring out how to best automate it all with my calculator, what new exciting tools and features will I learn about this time? It's such a joy, tickles my autism just in the right way.

unironically though what is the best calculator app that works on Mac? I have a ti-84 CE and ti-89 titanium that do the trick, but so often it would be faster and more convenient to just use my computer
the standard Mac calculator is okay but requires the mouse often and you can't edit mid-equation
