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

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.

It worked well for me some keys you gotta ask the teacher about

I had to buy one of these for the FE Exam. As a lifelong TI-84 user there are some quirks, but I felt right at home and after a week using this calculator was second nature. Its reliable, relatively cheap, and full featured. My only request would be a higher resolution screen. The European version of this calculator has a higher res screen and its so much easier to read.

Great product. I just broke it accidently. Sorry.

Ive been using the TI-36X pro for almost 6 years. Ive been using it for work and engineering problems as well as for my Professional Engineering License Exama. TI has built a good product that lasts. Best non-graphing calculator ever.

Very good product

It came delivered nicely and the packaging for the item made the item feel really new. This has helped me in my math class!

Originally bought a TI-89 Titanium and a TI-nspire CX 2 (Both with CAS) for school. Although it did everything and looked spiffy, 75%-90% of my classes didnt allow us to use it (apparently the CAS and other features do everything for you, who knew?). Once into my sophomore year (this year), something called COVID has placed most classes online making difficult to exclude those spiffy calculators. Any way we were told even though we may WANT to use the nspires and 89s, we need to get used to the calculators allowed on the FE exam. Enter the TI-36X Pro. This thing does just about every thing the spiffy ones can do, but still looks like those old solar powered ones you used to punch 58008 and tell someone to read upside down. Except this little bastard is powerful! Integrals, derivatives, vectors (dot and cross function in the vector menu, no need to write up a matrix and remember that ridiculous formula), solver, system solver for multi variables. This thing can do some serious damage even on a calc 3 exam, and its solar powered so you dont need to remember to charge it or bring spare batteries. Obviously the other beast calcs can graph and this cant. Other than that this thing is incredible for its price!!!! The only downside I would say is that it looks intimidating to use, and has a SLIGHT learning curve to it. BUT if you are going into a Science field and cant learn to use this, then you need to change your major ASAP!!! HIGHLY recommend getting this calculator for any college freshmen that will be majoring in Engineering, perfect for the student budget, and still can whoop some ass.

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.

Im not a math guy, I dont need a graphing calculator for what Im required to do mathamatically. Im a CAD student at a tech college who needs a scientific calculator for a little algebra and trig. I had been using a Casio fx-115ES for my assignments, which works fine and dandy, but it turned itself off so quickly while I was comtemplating my homework that the little calculators life was quite often in danger. While still scratching my head figuring out how to enter more operations, the Casio routinely turned off to save the battery, at the cost of LOSING whatever I had worked so hard (for me) at entering into it. I started writing everything down in a notebook so I could re-enter it when the Casio decided it was time for me to start from scratch one more time. That would not do. Enter the TX-36X Pro. The TI had a little learning curve for me, or so it seemed because I had learned how to use the Casio so thoroughly. The TI takes more button presses to do some calculations than the Casio, but it SAVES what you put in it. Turn it on, and the last thing you were working on is still there. I can scroll back to see things Ive entered hours ago, retrieve them and save myself having to type them in again. Ive scrolled back and found things I had done WEEKS before, retrieved them and used them in new calculations. That is worth the price of admission for me. I will never use 90% (or more) of what this calculator can do in the CAD occupation Im training for, but Id rather have it and not need it so I CAN have what this little beauty CAN do for me better than any other calculator Ive ever owned. Best of all, those sometimes long head scratches while working on my trig homework arent made even longer by having to redo and re-enter my calculations on a regular basis. The calculator itself seems well made, the buttons are crisp and the ones used most often are made of imprinted metal rather than having their function printed on them, which can eventually wear off . The case has soft feet to keep the calculator from sliding around on smoothe surfaces. Well made, easy to use, decent instruction manual, and saves your work when it turns off. Im putting my Casio in that drawer where I keep all the other stuff I might get around to using again someday, but probably wont ,,,,,,,,, };>{>
