Calculators What do you think about this graphing calculator?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion emphasizes the advantages of using the TI-89 Titanium calculator, particularly in academic settings where TI calculators are the standard. Users highlight that having a TI calculator facilitates easier communication with professors and peers for assistance, as they are more likely to be familiar with the same model. The learning curve for TI calculators can be steep for those accustomed to Casio models, but users generally adapt over time. The consensus is that the TI-89 is a reliable choice for students, especially in fields like engineering, due to its widespread acceptance and support in educational environments.

Its quite a good calculator,
although i would personally recommend a Ti-84+
yes TI s have a steep learning curve especially if you originate from a casio background but you will get used to it i suppose =)
 
Nice calc, but every math class I have taken, and have witnessed are all TI based. Getting a TI will make it much easier in finding specific keys by asking the professor, because he will most likely have the same model.
 
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.

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
