Title: Ideal sci-calculator?
Post by: Bozo on May 31, 2011, 08:41:11 pm
Which is the best one. I use this shitty sharp EL-531WH. I'm thinking of maybe buying a better one before the exam?

TI30XB as Cohen said, its got the fraction tool, much easier for Chem and Physics.

I've been using the FX-82AU that I've had since year 7. Which reminds me, I should probably change the battery before the exam :S

May I also add, make sure you are very familiar with the calculator well before the exam. Nothing worse than losing time searching for buttons or whatever during calculations.

What fraction tool? :S

a fraction tool like the one on your cas calculator. so a fraction comes up with blanks so you can chuck the numbers in. its pretty helpful - less likely to make mistakes

Do you know how on the Ti-nspire, there's the fraction button? That's basically what the fraction tool is like on the ti-30xb

I use this.
It calculates the numbers and and that's all you really need. You don't want to be learning how to use a new calculator now... :)

Oh. I'm pretty sure the FX-82AU has this as well...
