Posted Sep 6, 2004 - This has the been the iron horse of all calculators for the basic features a student would need, and now with the all the colors they come in it even makes it more exciting for the kids. All the features for high school students and intro courses for the college student as well.

Posted Sep 8, 2004 - I wish that the USB cable were included instead of being an optional purchase. The teachers all require this calculator but truth be told, other graphing calculators do the same thing and feature the same functions.

Posted Aug 31, 2004 - this calculator is satisfactory, but that, at best. It really has no advantages over other generic calculators besides the fact that teachers only know how to use this calculator. Thats the only real advantage i see in using this calculator.

Posted Aug 20, 2004 - This calculator is great for kids taking algebra and my son's textbook actually helps teach the kids how to use the calculator because their examples show specific key sequences - in other words, it is the calculator on which the textbook is based. All that being said, I think a requirement for an 8th grader to buy a $100 calculator is excessive but, if that's what your school requires, this calculator looks like it will last us through most of high school.

Posted Sep 6, 2004 - Great calculator, easy to use. Manual is a little mass, but helpful. I was comparing this with ti-89, but this one is good enough for me because I dont need to use it as a Mathmatica. I don't need to link this one to computer, because I am not doing those kind of "data transfer". However, those who need to transfer data from PC will need additional cable, or silver edition.

Posted Sep 2, 2004 - it is very well made to work with algebra and calculus. it does not break easily when dropped. the graphing on the calculator is superb and unmatched. i have seen no other calculator like it, neither its complexity nor its capabilities.

Posted Jun 21, 2004 - TI-82 or TI-83 is required by our math course. My instructor personally recommends this one over TI-82, so it must be a little better or more convenient. The thickness of the instruction book can be kind of overwhelming though.

Posted Sep 18, 2004 - Purchased for advanced algebra/pre-calculus class. Enjoy its capability to perform advanced statistics and financial calculations and display the results. The flexibility to add TI-83 Plus software applications and additional functionality requires a cable that I plan to purcase as an added accessory.

Posted Sep 11, 2004 - I wanted to buy the TI-84, or the Silver Edition of either calculator as they all have more features, but I got a great price on this calculator at Staples.com ($70 after rebate without the Price Grabber bonus). The TI-83 Plus is really all my kids need for school, and this calculator should suffice all their needs through High School, and probably college. I didn't have anywhere as near a nice calculator when I went through college and I was a Math Major. I recommend this unless you can get a great sale price on the better models.

Posted Apr 5, 2004 - Maybe it's just me but I find the manual a bit too technical and hard to navigate through. It would help those of us who are not as technical minded to put the instructions into laymans terms.

Posted Sep 15, 2004 - It is a very durable calculator. It has been in my backpack for a little more than a month now, it still looks like a new one. It has the most versatile and self-explanatory features of any other calculators that I used to have. In addition to the extra bonus features (like the periodic and help programs) being able to personalize my calculator makes it a little more me, and less of an obligatory tool. However, i really wish i have the money for the TI-84. The display is way cooler and the keyboard is better....

Posted Sep 14, 2004 - My son was required to purchase this calculator for his eighth grade algebra. He was able to learn the functions without any problems. I'm glad I had to invest in a great calculator that will last him thoughout his school years.
