The discussion emphasizes the superiority of the TI-89 Titanium graphing calculator over the HP 50G for academic use, particularly in mathematics and engineering fields. Users highlight the TI series' prevalence in educational settings, making it easier to seek assistance from peers and instructors familiar with the model. The learning curve associated with TI calculators is acknowledged, but the consensus is that the investment is worthwhile for students. Recommendations strongly favor the TI-89 for its compatibility with academic requirements.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for students in mathematics and engineering, educators seeking to recommend calculators, and anyone considering the purchase of a graphing calculator for academic purposes.
Dembadon said:MotoH is absolutely right.
When I was looking to buy a calculator, I was torn between and HP 50G and the TI-89 Titanium. A friend of mine who is getting his masters degree in mechanical engineering told me that I should, without a doubt, go with the TI-89. He said given that TI's are pretty much the standard calculator used in academia, you'll have no trouble finding help from teachers or students when you need it. Not so with HP's.
