Texas Instruments TI-30XS MultiView Scientific Calculator

Im an actuary and this is the best calculator yet thats allowed to be brought to the exam. And plus I absolutely love the soft blue colour.

Functions work as expected but it’s not dual battery and solar. When my battery died so did the calculator even in bright sunlight

Lo use para mis clases y examen de matemáticas

Easy to use and read, requested by Teacher for homework.

I bought this because it is the only calculator that the GED allows you to use for the GED exams. I prefer having the physical calculator as opposed to using the virtual one on the exam. Learning how to use it effectively is very helpful, especially with the math exam. I used it most of the time whenever the my GED study book and test allowed. It cuts down on calculating time, which is important with the time limits.

Great buy

Don’t hesitate get it now.

good buttons a bit loose but not noticeable

Below is the review Id written before. Its been a few months since I used this calculator so Im going to forget some things. But I have to take back something I said about it regarding exact answers & adjust my rating as well. The key just above the enter key (<>) will give an exact answer if used at the end of your entry. So that complaint is mostly gone. Id like to be able to set a mode where this is the default behavior, but the button will do in a pinch. But I still scratch my head at programming the calculator to return exactly what you give it in that respect. It isnt intuitive. But I think I was unfair in my rating before so I wanted to update. I decided to keep the calculator around to do personal accounting & random calculations on Summer break. It has worked out very well for that & the larger display lets me look at a few lines at once. The form factor and weight are desirable compared to the more powerful calculator. For its intent, its a solid little piece. It just has little items that differ enough from the TI graphing calculators to add frustration. For me anyway. I wont use it again in class or on tests unless forced. I may carry it as a small, light backup, but it will be a last resort. Snip: To give an example, if I give this calculator the task of computing 2 root 2, it gives me back 2 root 2 as an answer. In order to get beyond something I already knew, I have to do something like 2.000000000000000000001 root 2. Thats pretty annoying and clutters the screen. I and a few others have tried working through all the settings & cant get out of this mode. Furthermore, it only does it when it feels like it. As this is the ONLY calculator Im allowed to use in calc-based physics, I find this deeply annoying - so much that I cant bring myself to muster another star to keep the lone one company. Other than that, I appreciate that its laid out somewhat like the 84 & 89. The solar thing is nice & it doesnt take up much room. But the little niggles are so aggravating that unless Im in an exam, I have my 89 sitting right next to this one at all times...only use it so I know whats gonna happen to me on exams. After this series of classes, I suspect I may use some physics to destroy this thing properly.

Loved it! Best price we found anywhere and it was exactly what her supply list requested!
