Texas Instruments TI-36X Pro Engineering/Scientific Calculator | 9.7 Inch | Black.

Ordered this for my other half. Said that her previous one lasted over 4 years. No problem and seems well made.

Broke after a short term of use

Ive owned everything from a free calculator that doubles as a pencil case to the TI-NSpire CX CAS with a color display. Aside from graphing, of course, this 36X does EVERYTHING better than any other calculator Ive used. The interface is incredible (fraction bars, scroll and multiple line functionality), it handles complex numbers like a champ, basic equation solving, even derivatives and integrals? So small but SO powerful. Just buy one.

I read the reviews before purchasing this calculator. This thing is gorgeous. Built to last and the feel of the keys is very durable. Love the way the cover clips on and completely protects the calculator. The back side of the calculator has 4 inlaid rubber feet that will stay on forever. If you want to take the lid off and clip it onto the back, it also has the 4 rubber feet. This calculator looks handsome and not faddish. Easy to see the characters on the keys and easy to read on the display. If you are concerned about your child (or whoever) being rough on stuff, this is an excellent choice. Has tons of great reviews. It is more expensive but not that much more expensive. If you are one who is always misplacing or losing stuff then get a less expensive one. If you are concerned about long lasting durability, then get this one. It seems to be very statistics oriented according to my math tutor today. He has a Casio FX 260 solar and says it got him through all of his engineering courses. I also have a Casio FX 260 and my adult GED classes were supplied with this GED calculator. It is the official one used on the GED exam. My math tutor told me that I dont need one this advanced to get through Trig and Calc. but I love this TI-36XPro calculator and plan to learn how to use it. Comes with a nice little instruction manual, not like those stupid fold out sheets. Others reviews have commented on its use. I am emphasizing its appearance, build quality , design,and instruction manual. One person commented on the silver keys on the right being difficult to read, but it is a no brainer arrangement. It takes 1 second to learn them by position and you remember it forever. I plan on really enjoying using this calculator. I would compare it to the Subaru Cross Trek of automobiles. Hope this review helps someone. not learned how to use it yet; however

This calculator was worth it! It was easy to use and due to its popularity you can find a YouTube video detailing just about any operation you want. I recommend it for statistics. I tried using a BA II+ financial calculator, but it did not have the decimal places needed for statistics nor did it have the ability to show multi-line. The TI36X-Pro cut my homework time down by hours per week. Working a problem on my calculator, I found the TI36x to be 5 to 10x faster than my BAII or the default windows calculator I was trying to use before. I am working through an MBA program and have been out of school for 15 years, so I currently consider myself a novice user. I received this calculator 3 days before my midterm, and it was easy to relearn within that time. I cant stress enough just how much easier this calculator is to use for statistics. It automatically calculates Standard Deviation, Median, Mean, quartiles, etc from a single variable set. It does MUCH more, but that is all I have studied so far. It also allows you to recall a formula you entered previously and change it... great for figuring +/- confidence intervals.

I had these for my years in highschool and now in college. it is the most reliable calculator out there with many of the basic functions. I believe everyone should use these on SATs because of their practicality.

This calculator was an upgrade from my son’s middle school one (TI-30xiis). I was looking for something that would carry him into advanced math and even college maths, without being a full-functioning expensive graphing calculator. So far, straight out of the package, I can already see that it was a good choice to upgrade. It has more functions, a user guide cheat sheet in the lid, rubberized grips both on the calculator and lid, a larger display screen, and more. The function buttons are NOT metallic as shown and mentioned in older reviews. See pics.

My child is in Jr high and they have these rather expensive calculators they use in class but I needed one for to use at home. This works prefect!! And it doesnt cost $80+ like the ones at the school!!

I personally would rather use a graphing calculator for my work but this is the best calculator for the NCEES FE Exam in my opinion.

I’m taking a business math class that requires me to do a huge volume of simple calculations for which my TI-92 graphing calculator (that has served me well for 20 years) is simply overkill. Of course it is capable of doing everything I need, but it’s huge and cumbersome to use for basic math. With a compact size and amazing price, TI-36X Pro is perfect for real-world (non-scientific) math. For anyone with experience using TI graphing calculators, this is the perfect choice thanks to the EOS™ (Equation Operating System), MathPrint™ display, and curated subset of functions and features found on the graphing models. First, MathPrint displays math on the screen just humans write it on paper. On TI-89 and TI-92 graphing calculators, this is called Pretty Print (this may be different on newer models). For example, with MathPrint enabled, the calculator will display 3². If disabled, it would display 3^2 (like a “business” or “scientific” calculator would). This is a simple example—MathPrint can display roots, stacked fractions, and more complex symbols and formatting. EOS is to TI calculators as iOS is to iPhones and iPads. It’s the basic software that makes TI calculators behave consistently and predictably. Notably, this means (when MathPrint is enabled), TI-36X Pro evaluates expressions left-to-right using the EOS order of operations (parentheses, functions such as log(), fractions, exponents and roots, negation, permutations and combinations, multiplication then division, addition then subtraction, and conversions). As with other EOS calculators, it understands implied multiplication (i.e., 2(3) will be interpreted as 2×3) and uses a dedicated negation symbol, entered with the () key. This makes it easy to tell the difference between a minus operator and a negation symbol on the screen as in “2 – 3”. While it doesn’t display graphs, the TI-36X Pro supports variable storage (x, y, z, t, a, b, c, d), hex/bin/oct entry and conversion, easy fraction – decimal (and mixed number) conversion, LCM/GCD, data tables, random dec/int generation, function table, operation storage and one-touch recall, unit conversions, equation solving (i.e. 8 = 2x, solve for x), polynomial solver, system solver (2x2 linear equations, 3x3 linear system), and plenty more.
