The discussion centers around selecting a calculator suitable for an economics student taking courses that involve complex statistical formulas and econometrics. The user seeks a device capable of storing extensive formulas and proofs, emphasizing the need for detailed formula display. Both the TI-89 Titanium and HP 50g are mentioned as potential options, with the HP 50g noted for its Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) entry method, which some consider superior. Participants agree that either calculator would meet the user's requirements, highlighting that budget is not a concern, and the choice should be based on personal preferences and specific needs. The conversation underscores the importance of functionality over brand preference in selecting the right calculator for advanced mathematical applications.

ti89 or hp50 or what? Need help!

hi. I'm an econ student and taking courses like international economy, monetary econ, and econometry. in econometry we use statistical formulas and such. and lesson is full with formulas and some of them are long (including derivatives). I need an advice. I m looking for a calculator that I can store loads of formulas even proofs (long long formulas). So it needs to show formula with details. I don't know what to choose. It doesn't need to be graphical but if my needings exists on a graphical one I will choose no problem. As far as I saw that graphical calculators have huge screens that can store long formulas. So waiting for an advice I don't have a money limit just need to choose best one. I just noticed ti89 titanium and hp50g so need serious advice it doesn't need to be one of these. just waiting advice...

Either product will meet your needs.
 

Thread 'How far will we let AI control us?'

AI has some form of control over your life. But what I’ve seen very recently is that people are loosing their ingenuity and deciding to use AI. I feel as if it’ll bleed into STEM which is kinda has already and, every idea or thought could become fully reliant on AI. Yeah AI makes life easier but at a...
