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

Great for what you need it for.. it’s barebones but works for 99% of standardized testing and college math/chemistry classes.

This calculator is my favorite Ive ever used. I dont have to worry about being allowed to use it on state testing without compromising functionality!

It’s a really good calculator. There is certain equations that it can not do. But over all it had most of the functions and keys you need

I bought this for my chemistry class. I would suggest going to YouTube and looking for videos instead of reading the manual. It a lot easier.

Havent wrote a product review in a while, but this calculator warrants it. It does everything you can think of except graphing and that is a HUGE plus. First off, graphing calculators really are not needed. I took Calc 1, 2, and 3 without one. Instead of relying on a calculator, one should recognize the formats of the actual graph without having to graph it. Yes it can speed up calculations, like max and min, but you should do them by hand in school to actually learn what is going on. Graphing you should only check your work. But anyways, this thing is great. I have a HP 50g, love the CAS and wanted another HP calc. I had a TI 36 from years ago that I used as my basic calculator but the screen was dimming so I was looking for a replacement. I was surprised to see the features on this. I hate having to whip out my huge calculator to do simple stuff. I am an engineering student, but most of the time I dont need a lot of the features. Thats where the TI shines. Its non graphing, so it can be used on more exams. Professors wont know the capabilities of this thing. Matrices, vectors, stats.... easy as pie to enter. Just the other day my circuits professor asked the class to verify the answer and I was the first one to say yes. Its small and light, automatically turns off, and is solar powered. NICE! It will solve simultaneous equations, 3 x 3 matrices, quadratics, even diff equations in the menu. Even puts answers into its own variables automatically. Its been good so far, and I put my HP 50g in my desk drawer. Give me another year to try it on more advanced classes but honestly, anything short of you being in a research lab, and this calculator will easily get the job done. Probably the best feature I like is the fraction key. I always loved the way TI deals with fractions. Push one number, click a button, push another and there are your numerator and denominator. And it will show you in the complex fraction form the answer in the display. Then you can push one button above the enter key to display it in decimal format... So bottom line, the calc is 22 bucks, a stupendous value for what you get. And its fast. You dont have to wait that second or 2 for an answer. Time to get back to my physics hw.... :O)

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.

I was really impressed with how much this scientific calculator does for the price. I use it for statistics and it has more built-in functions (one-variable, two-variable, and normal probabilities which are harder to find) than other scientific calculators at almost the same price. Plus it does trig, matrices, complex numbers, and even some calculus which I never saw other than on an expensive graphing calculator. It pretty much does everything the expensive calculator does other than graphing, and its very easy for a beginner to use. (Do not confuse with the TI-36X that is not the Pro; that is an older model which does less and is less user-friendly.)

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 is great and is, at the time of this review, allowed for use on the FE Exam. I love the fraction button and how easy it is to find everything. It also lets you see what you are typing, unlike the TI-X30. This calculator has all the features that I would actually use on my TI-84 without all the extra fancy stuff.

I bought this calculator for the FE exam. Until then I used a TI-83 graphing calculator, and since then I have only used this TI-36x. Thats how great it is. The muti-line display is great. You can also scroll through previous calculations, even after pressing clear. Its great for multi-step calculations. The operations on this calculator are really intuitive. If youre calculating integrals, it gives you an integral symbol to plug your limits and equation into. Same with square roots, fractions, exponents, everything. It will also do things like statistics models, where it asks for the inputs one at a time. It solves matrices, converts units, takes cross products, solves systems of equations, has useful constants pre-loaded, does combinations and permutations... I just wish I had bought this calculator sooner. It just takes a few minutes of playing around to find all these features. I just have two minor complaints: 1) the fraction/decimal toggle button is right beneath the addition button, where Im used to the enter button being. When I was first using the calculator I would often push that button by mistake at the end of the calculation. It doesnt actually DO anything in that case, so I would just have to delete the symbol and press enter. Now that Im used to the calculator, I hardly ever make this mistake. 2) If the input or series of calculations is longer than the width of the screen, the calculator will just continue pushing the line to the right, rather than continuing on the next line. It just makes it so that I cant see my whole input on the screen and I have to scroll back through to review. GREAT calculator for science or engineering majors. If youre buying it for the FE or PE, make sure you give yourself a few weeks to play around with it and get used to all the features and where to find them. Skim the users manual too, so youre aware of all the awesome things this beauty can do.
