Supercalculators

Name: Anonymous 2009-06-22 0:49

I'm thinking about getting a new calculator.  I've had a TI92 for ages and ages, and I'd like to get something that's like that, but more powerful and faster.  From what I read on Amazon, the TI Voyage 200 is the best thing TI sells, but it doesn't seem like it's such a big step up from the TI92 to be worth $200.

Basically, I want Maple but on something handheld.  Is there anything else out there?  I guess I could just buy a netbook and run Maple on that.  That'd only be like $50 more. :/

Yeah, the testing thing is a factor to those of us still in school, but honestly, here in the US, University courses are getting more and more likely to cut you out of graphing calculators entirely. After a two year love-affair with my TI-89, I'm finding myself using a Casio 115ES because it's the most sophisticated thing allowed for university level Physics and Chemistry. No calculator at all for Calc II.

Sensible, since you can pack a world of notes in the best graphing calcs.

Still surprises me, though, that there's not something out there more advanced than the TI-89 / HP-50g. I know there's a market for it with working engineers.
