Camel Camel Camel says that this is only about $2 lower than average and is not the lowest this has gone. So while I think it's a good deal I don't think it's particularly slick.

Or just get a used TI-83, much more capable. And unfortunately this calculator is not NCEES approved for those who want to do engineering/get licensing down the road. Still a good calculator though.

And for those that won't they will be probably using Matlab, Mathcad, Mapple, or Mathematica.

Still a good deal for those with kids at school.

EBay all the time cheaper used... Like that matters - when did a used calculator ever break?

These calculators are always worthless for engineers. They are built for business majors and statisticians. Of course, who is going to bother typing data into a calculator for regression.

Engineering students do much better with a TI-85 or TI-89 or HP49. Pick something that can solve simultaneous equations and find polynomial roots.

I guess I'm an engineer. Just lean how to use spreadsheets and Jupyter notebooks (Colab). You'll do much of your calculations there for much of your career.

These calculators are novel but only good if you like using pen and paper.

I recently bought one of these to replace a really old Casio that died. After a few days use I decided that the key's function labelling was too small for my older eyes. I ended up returning it for a similarly priced and capable TI calculator.

HP all the way.

But these calculators are great for engineers. I have no idea about where they're allowed.

Excuse my ignorance, can someone explain why you wouldn't just use an app on your phone android/iphone?

Test taking rules prohibit mobile phones as they have internet access and can also transmit/receive messages (perceived as cheating)
