As someone who has stuck with a TI-89 for many years, what new features does this have

The Nspire has a more powerful CPU and it does 3D color graphs. It has a trackpad under the screen. I also like the GUI better, but that’s just me.

If by “Doom” you mean integral calculus, then yes.

Does this mean the prices on the Ti-89 have come down?

Crooked Hillary only has the TI-84 plus. Sad!

Good old TI-84+ has carried me through all maths and main ME courses. Hint *you can put notes and equations on it if you’re feeling spicy*

My chem professor erases everyone’s graphing calculators before quizzes or tests. She doesn’t know how to operate TI-Nspire calculators, so she skips mine every time. Talk about spicy!

I would have killed a prof that erased my 86 or 83+. I had programmed better intercept and quadratic solvers than what came with it. (I was really bored when I was in school).

I go to a state school and they don’t do that. I guess its in their policy not to touch our shit. I’ve hidden them in the program sections with funny names like; TARS, CASE, LS2, LM4, E38, HL3, and OSX.


Kinja'd!!! TheHondaBro > Gamecat235

I rocked the TI-83 (maybe plus). Still have it in a drawer by my desk. I remember making programs, storing equations, and playing games.

You are familiar with TARS’ instagram, yes? (This is me, linking to Instragram, for the first time ever: https://www.instagram.com/tarsofficial/?hl=en ).

Ah the magical Ti Calculator that is actually capable of doing most of your homework for you assuming you know how to use it. Its been my experience that learning how to do it on the calculator is generally harder than learning how to do it by hand.

“If you don’t know how to use all the buttons on your calculator you shouldn’t be able to sleep at night.” Dr. White

I say that to my students all the time and mock their ability to do basic math.

It’ll cut out the tedium in doing my homework, that’s for sure. I’ve already mastered algebra to the point where I can do it in my sleep (literally)

Fair enough, its overkill in the high school setting and I would much rather use Matlab anyway.

But do you recite definite integrals in your sleep yet?

Close Air Support on a calculator would open all sorts of job opportunities.
