I've been out of high school for over 20 years and they're still using this same calculator and it's at the same price. Hopefully the bootleg calculator games have improved since then to help pass the time in Calculus class. I learned more real world skills playing Drug Wars on my beloved square body TI calculator.

I teach AP Calculus. If you can snag a college discount, it's worth it to get this calculator. You can't use a phone on an AP test, and though any graphing calculator will work, the multi color format and the faster processor make it worth the money. They're also pretty much indestructible.

Finally, you can sell it for around $80 when you're done with it.

With inflation, the calculator is less expensive than it used to be. $100 in 1997 is about $187 now. /Not saying the near monopoly is good.

Well you almost certainly can't use your phone as a calculator on exams. I have a TI-84 and found that going to college on a TI-89 would be better. But this one is colorful and cool, it's the hip option

This (or another similar calculator) will be mandatory for high school exams, and some university.

I have the CE. It's worth it as an upgrade to the normal screen. It's much easier to see two graphs when they're different colors.

Only thing is that this doesn't take AA batteries, so you must remember to keep it charged. If it dies during an exam you're boned.

If I have a 20% that expires in September, anyone know if it stacks with their birthday 5% reward?

Its 20% off right now. If I order it today for pickup...can I pick it up tomorrow after asking for price adjustment with cs to make it $99 from $149 while also keeping my 20% intact?

Graphing calcs are convenient for some classes and homework. If you are studying engineering, get a non graphing one and use it as your main calculator.

You can't use graphing calculators in any licensure exams

People swear by the casio fx115 / 991 but I like my ti-36x

why anyone would buy one of these new is beyond me. eBay, offerup, etc. is the way to go on these things.

Graph 89 [google.com] is a perfect alternative, IF they don't need to use it in the classroom and/or on tests.

Then request the TI-89 Titanium Operating System ROM from Texas Instruments website. [ti.com]
