Eventually I got a TI-89 titanium for when I moved up into the world of calculus and the like. I don't know of any advantages of the 82/83/83+ over the 86 except that some of them are newer. | ||

Once you get to college you are likely either not going to be allowed to use a calculator, or you're going to be doing all of your work on a computer program anyway | ||

As someone aspiring to become a math teacher and giving teaching high school students 1on1 to finance my studies, i am always incredibly annoyed when someones answer to a problem is "Yeah i press F1, F3, F4, Enter". They usually have no idea what these buttons do or how any of what they are doing relates to any field of maths or real worlds situation, but they are trained to solve very specific questions using a very specific model of graphic calculator by pressing the right buttons. This is a complete waste of everyones time teaching them utterly useless skills instead of mathematic principles that are relevant to understanding what they are actually doing. | ||

I remember adding a "loading" screen, and a loading bar that took 100% of the CPU. The loading screen did nothing but making sure the loading bar was moving smoothly. Just for show. | ||

That being said, a lot of times, calculators aren't necessary, and many courses I teach outright ban the graphing calculator (because it's too easy to program/ save formulas for cheating), but we'll often permit scientific calculators. The key is for math educators to only use technology (like calculators) to supplement and improve lessons and student comprehension; overuse of the calculator results in students relying on them as a crutch. I can't tell you how many college students I teach who can't do simple subtraction or multiplication since they've been using calculators for the past 6+ years of their lives for anything arithmetic-related -.-' | ||
