AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around selecting the best calculator for college algebra courses, specifically Math 1000 and Math 1050. The main contenders are the TI-36X Pro and the Sharp EL-W516XBSL. The TI-36X Pro is highlighted as an approved calculator for the NCEES EIT exam, making it a preferable choice for students planning to pursue engineering and take the NCEES Fundamentals exam. In contrast, the Sharp calculators are not approved for this exam, which is a significant consideration for engineering students. Ultimately, the TI-36X Pro is recommended for its exam approval status and suitability for college algebra.

Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to read this thread. I am needing some opinions on three calculators I am looking at for college algebra. The runners up are the HP 35s, TI-36X Pro, and the Sharp EL-W535XBSL. I am wanting to use it for my Math 1000 and Math 1050 classes. Price is no issue for me, just am wanting the best calculator for the job. Thanks for any feedback!

The Ti-36X Pro is allowed for the NCEES EIT exam, the Sharp (any Sharp) is NOT! If you are planning to take engineering and take the NCEES Fundamentals exam as a senior, you will want to use an NCEES exam approved calculator.
