Cheap Casio 8-Line Graphing Calculator - Blue (FX-9750GII) Review
Find Deals on Powerful Graphing Calculators from TI, Casio & More.
I'm taking college algebra right now, which this calculator is perfect for. I purchased this model for the versatility it offers; since I will be taking statistics next semester I needed something that I could also potentially use for that. According to Casio's website this calculator has been suggested for the following courses : General Math, Calculus, Pre-Algebra, Biology, Algebra I and II, Chemistry, Geometry, Physics, Trigonometry, Engineering and Statistics.
Concerning calculator use, I especially love the customizable logarithm button, which allows you to punch in bases other than the default 10 depending on what you're doing (of course the default log button is still present, it just has an added one for custom logs eliminating the need for the change of base formula). I also really like the fact that the screen shows everything you have entered before you compute the answer, allowing you to go back and edit the equation if you discover you have made an input error (a feature which my last scientific calculator did not have).
Overall a great calculator and definitely worth the money.
I've used the ClassPad 330 while taking college math classes and now as a math teacher, and I'd recommend it almost without reservation to both students and teachers who are learning and teaching math. Whether it's an algebraic equation or a limit, derivative, or integral, it can solve almost any standard problem you'd see in high school math or the first year or two of a college math major sequence. (Not talking about word problems or proofs of course.) It can solve these problems symbolically or numerically and in 'math textbook form' for both input and output. The lack of standard input keys is no issue because the stylus-based touch-screen contains hundreds of math operations in logically-organized menu sections. This calculator also has powerful statistics, series/sequences, programming, standard-graphing, and 3d-graphing tools. It has a useful 'split-screen' feature where you can, for example, view your definite integral solution on the top half and the graph of that integrals area on the bottom half. Speaking of the screen, the display is clear and easy for my eyes to focus on even after spending hours solving problems in low-light conditions. While the ClassPad 330 may not be 'legal' on every math test you take, it's proven indispensable to me in studying and preparing for tests (and now creating and double-checking tests of my own). As a separate product, you can buy an emulator version (ClassPad Manager) that is very useful for teachers, as well as create activities and demonstrations for students with just the ClassPad 330 itself. One caveat though--this is for students of math and science (as well as teachers, engineers, and scientists in the working world) who want to delve deeper and perform, mathematically speaking, at their peak. If you're taking a college algebra class for a liberal arts major, have no interest in math (which is completely fine of course, English was my first major and I love the liberal arts), and will never take another math class again, this calculator may not be for you.
im an engineering major and this calculator is great it does so much more than the TI-84 i had before it. it made it easier to do the 6 math classes i needed for my degree.
These calculators were purchased to supplement the teaching in high school math classes. They will assist our students when they take state mandated tests and their ACT and SAT tests.
Expression templates give you an easy way to enter math expression in standard mathematical notation. When you insert a template, it appears on the entry line with small blocks at positions where you can enter elements. A cursor shows which element you can enter.
