Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator
Customer Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
Awesome calculator!
I brought it previously used. It's a necessity for College Algebra!
One thing I might add in, if you can buy new, please do so. When you purchase something previously owned, it might not come with certain attachments.
The calculator I ordered was in perfect condition! I plugged in the batteries and it loaded within 1 second! One thing I really hate, is that the previous owner's name is ENGRAVED on the front and back of the calculator. I think people should stop doing that. Some masking tape and a marker is fine. I am really happy with my purchase. But the calculator is moaning in pain from the carving on his frontal pelvic area and back. Lol.
The shipping was incredibly fast too. My other order didn't even come yet!
Customer Review: TI-83
Summary: 5 Stars
For someone who is new to graphing calculators, this is the perfect one to buy. (I have owned the TI-83, TI-86, and TI-92) The TI-83 has an excellent key layout (better than the TI-82 or 85), an easy to use graphing interface, and a simple programming language for creating conversion programs, etc. For more advanced features such as derivative solving capability or a QWERTY style keyboard you will have to buy the $200 TI-92, but even advanced calculus classes usually don't require such a powerful calculator; in fact, many of them don't allow it (the TI-92).If you are trying to decide between the TI-82 and 83, you should definitely pay the few extra dollars for the 83. The extra features, improved display, and faster processing make it an easy decision.
Customer Review: TI-83Plus - Good Stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
Your choice of calculator pretty much depends on what you need it for. For the AP Math, IB higher level Math or College bound student, this is easily the best calculator for you. For higher math enthusiasts and anything more intense like indefinite integrals, cubic equation plots etc. you should loook out for more advanced TI's like the TI-89 or TI-92.With the TI-Graph Link cable, you are able to download and install thousands of scientific and mathematics programs to install on your TI-83Plus good source is www.ticalc.org. For the boring math lesson, you can even install games like tetris on the TI. Hook 2 of them up with the link cable (supplied!) and you have 2 player action in some games! Or you can conveniently transfer programs between calculators.
Customer Review: Great Programmable Calculator
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this calculator since high school, and its still more than enough, at least for freshman+ level college courses.One of the best features of this calculator is its programming language. If you need a function that is not built in, program it yourself! For example, I've written a 3D graphing program that enables me to graph objects in 3D, and it has been very useful.
Not that the built in functions are not impressive. Although the 89 has many more functions, most are not necessary, at least not for the higher price. The 83 has all the basic calculator functions you would expect, and need. Its graphing ability is especially robust.
All in all, I highly recommand this great calculator.
Customer Review: Superb
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't owned many calculators in my life time, and this is most likely the last calculator i will ever buy. Texas Instruments is a trusted name in the calculator business and they have out done them self with this upgraded version of the TI-83. This one has a sleeker screen and more options than its lower counterpart, and it will do just about everything.( IM not sure about Honors calculus though.)and on top of all that you can play games on it, it has excellent resolution for being a calculator, and it almost doubles for a handheld videogame system. I enjoy mine, and the 4 AAA batteries that last about 6 months won't leave you wanting more power.
