Customer Review: to the "ARTIFACT STUCK IN THE 21ST CENTURY"
Summary: 5 Stars
You are the dumbiest person i've ever seen. First of all this is the 83 PLUS not 83. Second its a graphing calculator. It not all used for you stupid styles,music, color screens, backlit and wireless. THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT IN A CALCULATOR. I dont know how you find it useless. Its an amazing product that will greatly assist you in mathematics. All the function you found "useless" are very valuable(maybe not for you). The calculator is made for math. And its great in doing so. When you want a calculator you dont look for stupid things like that guy did. Its batteries last for 1+(if you use it very often daily, like me). The functions provide quit solving. Very useful and required in high school. Dont get draw out by the lone review. This stupid kid who cares about enjoyment dont know bs about calculators. And i dont know why he got one.Customer Review: Best Calculator for High School Students
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a high school student, then this calculator is for you. It has everything you need, for algebra, precalculus, and calculus. The good thing about the 83+ is that it is upgradable, so the need for a new calculator doesn't arise, every few years. Purchasing a graph-link can add on a TREMENDOUS amount of programs to use for Physics, Geometry, and even 3D-Graphs, (previously only on the ti-89 and up). If you are in High School, do NOT get the ti-92 or ti-89, because they will probably be banned from standardized tests, and high math classes, so ask your math teacher, because they are too hard to use and understand. Also, these 2 calculators are aimed for more college-level students, so if you are in college, try the ti-89. But in every case, a ti-83+ is ideal!Customer Review: Long Lasting, Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had by TI-83 Plus for about 7 years and it has never given me any problems. In terms of endurance, it goes through a lot as I have dropped it numerous times and I don't treat it very well. Even with all of the abuse, it has kept on going with no end in sight.
If you are a high school / college student looking to cheat on your calculus homework by having it do your integration or differentiation for you, this is not your calculator. You should get a TI-89. This calculator will do numerical integration and differentiation in the graphical interface but it will not provide analytical solutions to your homework problems.
This is an excellent calculator and it has served me well for many years. I am sure it will continue to do so for many more years.
Customer Review: Math Lifesaver in the Age of the Videogame!
Summary: 5 Stars
Generations of students and mathematicians have done all kinds of complex graphing and problem-solving without the aid of the TI-83 graphing calculator, and I feel sorry for them. This item is a much a fun toy as it is a learning tool. Granted, there is something to be said for doing some math by hand - you truly learn the mechanics of it. But this device lets you explore systems and areas previously only solvable with a giant room-size computer.Are you a math student? Or even a reluctant math student? Then this calculator is ESSENTIAL for courses from College Algebra on up. Beware, however, that the instruction manual is the size and weight of a small import car. But if your math instructor knows his or her stuff, he/she will guide you through in easy steps.
Customer Review: This is a scientific calculator, so, READ THE MANUAL...
Summary: 5 Stars
It is not as easy as the TI-86 I had in 2000, it is better than the TI-83.
In 2000, I had a great professor in Statistics I. He broke the manual down, of the TI-86, into 30 pages of simple English, and, I "got it" on how to work it. This manual is a little more complicated and assumes that you know the stuff already. They forget that their market is- those who DON'T know how to already, they're students!
So, here's what you do. Set aside a day, yes, A DAY, to read and understand the manual. BUY IT BEFORE CLASS STARTS!!! If you can, buy your textbooks early too and PRACTICE IT! If you do, you will be spared what I went through.
All and all, it is a great product that I reccommend, but, you have to practice on it!!! GOOD LUCK!
