I absolutely love this calculator. I have the TI-84 plus and my teacher recommended this cheap-o calc for a college course. I bought it just to see since it was so inexpensive. from Amazon.com Integrated math textbooks use graphing calculators extensively. The problems rely on students being able to generate tables, statistics and graphs quickly on the calculator. While the 30XS can not do graphs it can do tables (which is rare in calculators, particularly under $20) from which students can plot their own graphs. The statistics features are also fantastic featuring the mean, standard deviation,5 number summary and more. from Amazon.com Good basic scientific calculator. Easy to learn and easy to use. from Amazon.com I got this calculator in anticipation of the upcoming FE exam, and thus far have been impressed. The button layout is pretty similar to the TI graphing calculators, so right off the bat I was able to find everything i needed. The multiline screen is also really useful. from Amazon.com I am impressed by the tactile response of the keyboard. I'm stunned by the features available for the price. (Years ago I agonized between buying a TI calculator that determined square root or an air conditioner. It was hot in my apartment and I had to derive square roots manually.) I especially liked the 4 line display as opposed to the Casio FX-115ES. from Amazon.com Really I was looking for a calculator I could program. Enter the exchange rate (which vary from day to day), other conversions like the factor from lbs to kilos. But time was short and a shop with the more expensive programmable calculators meant a special trip into town. Here in Australia Officeworks (a sort of stationary Home Depot warehouse) have a very liberal return policy (7 days if you're not happy). from Amazon.com Update: I wanted to add that the Casio FX-115ES is a SCIENTIFIC AND NON-GRAPHING CALCULATOR (same class as the TI-30XS MultiView) that handles everything the TI-30XS Multiview fails to cover such as integrals, derivatives, complex numbers, phasors, different log bases AND matrices. I had been researching calculators for use on standardized exams now that many of the graphing calculators are banned. from Amazon.com I really love this calculator. The screen is larger than normal-sized scientific calculators and Texas Instruments is a very good brand. It definitely allows me to do my work much faster, which is especially helpful on tests. from Amazon.com Texas Instruments came late to the game with this MultiView idea (or WriteView or whatever you want to call it). Apparantly, they decided Casio was eating into this corner of their market share so they rushed this little baby out. from Amazon.com Way too cheap looking to give as a gift since it looks like you're giving a used item. Amazon help line was poor: "Download a manual." Yes, I know I can do that but that didn't answer the question, why no packaging. I'm sure TI doesn't sell them in the store like that. from Amazon.com
