Texas Instruments - TI83 Reviews

Bottom-Line: The Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator is probably the last calculator you will purchase in your academic career, it is just that powerful. 

Texas Instruments released the first TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator, and upgrade of the TI-82, in 1996, and it has gone to be one of the most widely used graphing calculators for students across a broad range of educational levels.  In addition to the functions found on normal scientific calculators the TI-83 Plus includes graphing, polar/parametric/sequence graphing modes, statistics, trigonometric, calculus (the Plus) and algebraic...

I don't know what I would do without this calculator.  I have used this calculator for not only my high school math classes, but for chemistry and college courses as well.  I love all of the features that it has on it.  You can make graphs and scatterplots with complete 100% accuracy.  I love that it is very easy to type with and that I can do complicated math operations on it that I couldn't do with a regular calculator.  For example this semester in my math class we were learning permutations and combinations and it took alot of writing out manually to figure out the solution.  All you...

I have had my Texas Instruments -Ti83 calculator for seven years now. I have used it for algebra, calculus, phyisics, and civial engineerings. I have only had to change the batteries three times in 7 years! I love this calculator. It is like it is indestructable. I have dropped it many times and I have never had a malfunction. It has never broken before. I also used it for the SAT and the ACT. It has a huge screen that lays out each calculation and problem you enter. It also and store calculations and formulas that you use often. It is a great scientific calculator. The calculator also looks slim...

I got this calculator years ago.  I'm graduating college in 2 months (and counting!) and it's still the only calculator that I turn to for every class.  The display is large and I love being able to see what I just typed in so I can fix it if I made a mistake.  It has plenty of memory, so I was able to download games and other software to use when I was in a boring class.  :)  The graphing function is fairly easy to use and it can do a lot of mathmatical equations and functions.  My favorite thing on it is the fraction to decimal capability for those days when I don't want to have to do it...

I am a freshman in college, this calculator took me all the way through high school and my precalculus class last semester without any problems. This is the perfect calculator for those who are not math majors, and will get you where you need to go. The only disadvantage is that it probably does a lot more than most people know of, because it is difficult to know what certain buttons/functions on it are for without being told; however I know that I will not need to buy another calculator, and it has lasted me a long time. Runs on a couple of double A  batteries, and the battery life is pretty...
