SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on finding non-programmable calculators with large displays suitable for Fluid Mechanics exams. Users recommend avoiding the TI-Nspire due to reported issues and suggest alternatives like the Casio ClassPad 330, which features a 240 x 160 resolution touchscreen. The conversation emphasizes the importance of having a calculator that displays equations clearly after inputting numbers, aligning with the requirements set by the teacher.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of non-programmable calculators
  • Familiarity with calculator specifications, such as display size and resolution
  • Knowledge of the TI-Nspire and its limitations
  • Awareness of alternatives like the Casio ClassPad 330
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications of the Casio ClassPad 330
  • Explore user reviews and performance of non-programmable calculators
  • Watch YouTube videos comparing non-programmable calculators
  • Investigate other non-programmable calculator models suitable for engineering courses
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students in engineering courses, particularly those studying Fluid Mechanics, as well as educators seeking suitable calculator options for their exams.

My Fluid Mechanics teacher doesn't allow programmable calculators and he checks before the exam. I asked him and he said we can have any large display calculator as long as it isn't programmable. Has anyone seen such a thing? I really am dependent on the giant LCD that shows the equation after I put in my numbers. Any suggestions?

I'd suggest an HP, but all the HP's with large graphic screens are programmable (except for a couple of business/financial calcs)! But the screens don't get much bigger than the one on the Casio ClassPad 330. AND it's a touch screen! Resolution 240 x 160. TI's are fine, but DON'T GET THE TI-Nspire! They seem to have a lot of problems. Check out this YouTube video--for a non-programmable (non-HP, non-RPN) calculator, this one is pretty impressive. Watch the video!
