Calculators Cheap scientific calculator that does matrix operations

AI Thread Summary
For students needing a calculator for matrix operations and simultaneous equations, the TI series, particularly the TI-89 and TI-86, are recommended for their capability in handling matrix math. Prices for these calculators can vary, with used options available for around $30. Alternatives include online matrix calculators and software like Mathwizard, which offers extensive mathematical functions, including matrix operations. Mobile applications are also available that can perform similar tasks, providing additional flexibility for users who prefer not to invest in a physical calculator.

I do not have a calculator that does matrix stuff that would be great for my classes this semester. I don't want to spend $100+ on a graphing calculator since I use MATLAB at home strictly now. I am looking to solve simultaneous equations, matrix operations like det,eigen,mult,...etc

Any help would be great!

The TI line (83, 89, etc.) handles matrix math just fine, and some of them go for under 100.
 
My Ti-89 is still a classic. The best you can get for the money. I won't bother with anything below Ti-89
 
I was kind of aiming towards $20-30...

ebay? I haven't seen a graphing calculater under $80 in years, and I don't think non-graphing ones handle matrices.
 
uhhg, maybe I can borrow one. Thanks everyone.
 
I just bought a TI-86 on craigslist for $30. It didn't seem like that was an exceptionally low price or anything, so you shouldn't have a problem finding one in your price range.
 
See online matrix calculator http://calculator-online.org/s/matrix/
 
TI-89 is good but price differs for place to place better to get an used one it would be better
