Texas Instruments - Scientific Calculator - Blue

I am a professional math tutor and own many of these calculators. This calculator is perfect for kids in Algebra 1 and Geometry or in Common Core terms, Math 1 & 2. It is best to buy the TI-36 Multiview for the 3rd year, do NOT buy the TI-34 Multiview. The Multiview series from Texas Instruments has been wonderful particularly because students can see both the problem and answer in the same screen which helps with memorization and mental math skills (so they are actually studying as they use the calculator). This calculator also allows students to type the problem exactly as it is seen on paper without memorizing special commands so they are thinking more about the problem as they type it. The table feature is particularly nice for when students need to do a lot of complicated graphing but do not have time for the mental computations. In my experience, Best Buy's price on this calculator is consistently competitive with other stores.

I ordered this calculator on line, on the Best Buy website, to be picked up in the store. The website decided to make it for home delivery. I went to store to cancel order, and was told that order was processing, that I could not cancel yet, and to keep trying on the website. Over the next 6 days, I continued daily to try to cancel the order, until I finally got an email, notifying me that it had been shipped. I waited for it to be delivered, drove it back to the store (at my expense), and got my money back. I never took Trigonometry, and don't know to do half of what this calculator does, though it seems to work fine. Best buy.com, (they autocorrected me), however, does not. Best Buy says that they will reward me for giving this review. As Toyota used to say, You asked for it, you got it. What a headache!!!!!

I absolutely love the multiple lines. I use this calculator for my college physics class and engineering related classes that all have long formulas. It allows you to input long strings of equations without having to input segments of data and being forced to continuously round. Thus distorting your results. Just enter in the entire string and get a more accurate result. The only thing I don't like about this calculator is that the keyboard isn't formated like other TI keyboards. I had to relearn the layout and how to use the function and 2nd command keys. But having the multiple lines makes it worth the trouble.

I am Medical Physics graduate student. I do calculate a lot. This calculator is much better than my previous engineer calculators. The way equation is displayed is very comfortable to read and understand. Equations look like the same as in text books. Moreover you can store many random values in memory (x, y, z, etc). On other calculators you can store only one value. There are many other useful functions. Quality is great. It is pleasure to use this calculator. Texas Instruments, my respect!

this was recommended to me word of mouth when i was in middle school. The adult who recommended it said "Ive been using this since middle school and it's still my favorite". Now that I am an adult, i can corfirm to you that after sticking to this model and brand for 11 years, this is a really good one! one perk, you can punch in fractions really nicely

I am a technical professional. I have got into the lazy habit of using Excel or laptop calculator to run numbers. But what I miss is just sitting down, working out a problem on paper and then crunching the numbers with a handheld calculator. I saw the TI-30 on special in the store and figured "Why Not? It could be fun". I used to use a handheld earlier in my career so much. It is a great little unit!

Calculators do alot of things, but the problem is you have to spend your hard earned cash to buy a decent one that a college or high school prefers. My teacher just ordered about 30 of these because for the money its just simple, no batteries like the ones that go for a hundred bucks. The only problem with this calculator is the screen isn't big enough for the graphic software or just it doesn't have it.

I bought it for my daughter. She is in grade 4 now. It’s a good product. But it is too complex to her. You need move the cursor around to type in an equation to calculate. I will say a simple single line calculator should be a better fit for her and train her in algebra. This is an over kill.
