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.

Test taking rules prohibit mobile phones as they have internet access and can also transmit/receive messages (perceived as cheating)
Yup, school won't allow to use your phone, so has to spend extra $ for this basic scientific calculator!

Excuse my ignorance, can someone explain why you wouldn't just use an app on your phone android/iphone?
Lol 😂, why you still watching tv when you have smartphone?
Why so many people wears watch when they have smartphone?
Why people using Fitbit when you can count your steps and heartbeat on your own ?

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

What's the difference between Casio's Natural-VPAM and Super-VPAM?

Mine finally broke after 20 years. The battery died. I learned that the solar panel doesn't actually charge the battery at all. The solar panel just powers the calculator to help save battery life when enough light is available.

If you ever feel useless, this calculator has an "absolute value" button.

Mine broke after 2 years of lying on the shelf.

From WIkipedia: Casio V.P.A.M. calculators are scientific calculators made by Casio which use Casio's Visually Perfect Algebraic Method (V.P.A.M.), Natural Display or Natural V.P.A.M. input methods.
V.P.A.M. is an infix system for entering mathematical expressions, used by Casio in most of its current scientific calculators. In the infix notation the precedence of mathematical operators is taken into account. According to Casio, in V.P.A.M. calculations can be input exactly as they are normally written. Functions, operators and symbols are shown on the calculator display and calculations are performed according to operator precedence.
History
The V.P.A.M. brand was first used in 1994 when the fx-991S and other scientific calculators from the "S" series were released in Japan.
In 1998, the Casio fx-991W model used a two-tier (multi-line) display and the system was termed as S-V.P.A.M. (Super V.P.A.M.). The model featured a 5×6-dot LCD matrix cells on the top line of the screen and a 7-segment LCD on the bottom line of the screen that had been used in Casio fx-4500P programmable calculators.[1] The S-V.P.A.M. system was also used in the other W series models and also the MS series of calculators that followed. V.P.A.M. is similar to the Direct Algebraic Logic (D.A.L.) used by Sharp in some of their scientific calculators.

Of course, I saw that Wikipedia article already. It doesn't answer my question which is to tell me the difference between Natural-VPAM and Super-VPAM.

Thanks, anyway, I guess.
