Which Graphing Calculator should I get?

Question

Hi. I am in A.P. Calculus in high school right now and I am shopping for a graphing calculator. I want one that can do everything! The price is not an issue. I want the graphing calculator to do super well on graphing, derivatives, intergrals, and everything else in Calculus and more! Even stuff I don't know about yet. I also want it to be able to scroll back up and reenter places on already written out problems. Most graphing calculators don't do this automatically like the cheap $20 TI x^2 ones and it drives me crazy! I want the best of the best; one that will last me for 4 years of hard schooling. Is there such a calculator that exists? Please let me know! And fear not me cheating. I have received nothing but straight A+'s for these past two years (Pre-Calculus and A.P. Calculus) in every 9-week period and semester exam; I can handle anything. Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

The Texas Instruments TI-84+ that everyone else is recommending is more for Geometry / Pre Calc.



For hardcore Calculus and College use you should be looking at either the TI-89 or the TI Nspire.



Also, take a look at the Voyage 200. But these may not be allowed in class or on tests, so be sure to ask your teacher. This is the one that can solve full equations and crazy stuff.

Answer 2

They are allowing you to use a graphing calculator. This is unbelievable. When I took calculus high school we were not allowed to use calculators. We had to show all our work on homework and exams.



This is why the high school math curriculum has degraded over the last 10 years. Students are not learning the concepts, instead they are relying on the calculator. This is one of the reasons why I get college level students in my class who can't do simple arithmetic problems or find the slope of a line without using a calculator.



Teachers haven't gotten lazy and I see that all across the country. This is unbelievable folks, and this must stop, or else this country is going to be in trouble if not already.

Answer 3

It has been a while since I've done this. Their should be a graph or y= button on the top of your calculator ,press that, then just put in the points. I think that model might also have a draw button on it. good luck.

Answer 4

wow A.P. calculus thats kool

well all i have to say is that you need a 83 and higher and since your in calculus you'll go for higher

my 84+ works good but i think many of them you can add programs to them that costs extra. You should really ask your math teacher though they may know more than people on yahoo.

Answer 5

If you want the ability to do algebraic manipulation, including integration and differentiation, you need Texas Instruments' TI-89 calculator. It's expensive, but it's extremely useful.

Answer 6

ti 84 +
