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

very useful features like a system of equations solver or MathPrint

This Calculator is good over all, highly recommend for students that are taking pre-cal or cal. This product came in un-use brand new, the package and everything was sealed but I notices that the buttons are a little shifted. The buttons are a little tipped over and some are shifted downwards

Let me start by saying Ive been using the TI-84 plus CE calculator for 7 years now. However, as a civil engineering student in university, Im not allowed to use that calculator in my classes or on my exams because it has too many features that does the work for me. I also cannot use it for my FE or PE exams when I want to get certified as an engineer. So I had to downgrade and buy this one. If youre a civil engineering major, this is the next best calculator thats FE/PE certified. It has the most features and its the most similar to the newer calculator versions. After being so familiar with a calculator for 7 years, its hard to switch to another one. But it only took me a minute or two of fiddling around with the 36-X PRO before I got the hang of the different buttons and command locations. I also LOVE that I dont have to worry about charging it! I cant count the amount of times I would sit down in class or at home and take out my 84 plus CE for an assignment or homework and it would be out of battery. It was such a pain to remember to charge it. Note: Even if youre not an engineering major, and youre just in high school or college, get this calculator! I started using my TI-84 plus CE in 8th grade and these types of calculators are a lifesaver. Itll help you in the long run and save you a lot of time and effort instead of using a scientific calculator. It has so many useful functions can really help you when youre on crunch time in an exam or something like that. 10/10!

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 got this while taking civil engineering courses and it has been able to do everything Ive needed for those courses. It is a process to learn all the functions, but I think thats expected.

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

My daily driver was the ole reliable ti-84, but it was annoying doing calculations that involved complex numbers. As I had to constantly convert between radian and degree mode which was just not convenient when having to do tons of homework problems. Decided to buy the ti-36pro and it’s been incredible. My favorite part is the speed for which you can convert from polar to rectangular. It made problems involving the phasor domain a breeze to get through. So if you’re an EE student and aren’t ready to shell out almost 200 on a ti-inspire I would HIGHLY recommend this calculator.

I am a fan of this calculator, it is an updated version of the one I used through high school and part of college. I got this for my son for high school, it took a little bit to teach his some of the functions, but it made a real difference once he got the hang of it. It is something that is worth every penny.

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