hi, i want to buy a new calculator because the old one is too weak but i can't decide between the texas ti89 and casio classpad 330. please help me, as an electrical engineer which one is better and what's the diffrence?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I can personally recommend the TI-89, but I haven't used the other product. The TI-89 has a lot more keys, which I can't imagine doing without.
 
tnx. but in other abilitiesm, what's the the diffrences?
 
I Would definitely recommend the TI-89... specifically the titanium edition. the main advantage would be the program EEPro that is included with it. very useful for any electrical calculations. I'm not sure how it compares to Casio, but from past experience TI products are much better built.
 
Do any of you guys still really use dedicated pocket calculators? I find myself doing all my math via PC, mentally, or using my iPod touch. It's quite rare that I ever use my TI89 any more.
 
I do my calculation on my ti-89 mainly because I don't own a laptop and am not always at a computer, but out of curiosity. What program do you use on your pc?
