Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for students at every level, from junior high school algebra to college calculus, the Texas Instruments TI36 packs a lot of punch in a small, inexpensive unit. This solar-powered calculator combines features for statistical analysis, Boolean logic operations, and unit conversions in one sleek package.Math students will appreciate TI36X's ability to perform fractional equations and calculate angle units (radians, grads, degrees) when performing trigonometric functions. Everyone will find the calculator's English/metric conversions helpful. The TI36Xs single-line LCD is a little difficult to read when the unit is lying on a desk, and users in need of graphing functions will have to look elsewhere. Overall, however, for a calculator in this price range, the TI36X provides enough power for most high-level math and science needs.
Product Description
Perfect for advanced algebra, trigonometry, computer science, chemistry and statistics. One- and two-variable statistics include results for linear regression and trend line analysis. Adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides fractions entered in traditional numerator/denominator format. Three memories, 10 English/metric conversions and eight physical constants. ANYLITE solar power operates even in low light. Protective slide case included.

 don't buy this unless you do your math in a tanning salon October 2, 2009

I'm sure the functionality of this calculator is fine. However, I will never know, because the solar power cells are inadequate to power it under normal indoor lighting. Maybe it's meant for people who do math at the beach or in a tanning bed.
I chose this because I have a TI financial calculator that was a much better deal than the HP equivalent. I don't know what happened to their engineering standards since I bought that one. I bought the TI 36X yesterday, throwing it out today.
Unusually poor design for Texas Instruments September 26, 2009

I have several other TI calculators and bought this one with the hopes of using it as a backup and for quick calculations where a graphing calculator wasn't needed. The most disappointing thing about this calculator, is that every time you clear the current calculation, the entire thing resets - it has no memory of settings, display mode, stored variables, nothing is stored at all (except the built in constants of course, which are a nice gimmick that drew me in). It's frustrating to have to switch to scientific display for instance, and to change the settings to radians or degrees, and to set the decimal rounding, and so on, EVERY TIME you start a new calculation. And it's annoying how it doesn't show the parentheses when you use them around a term, you just have to hope you remembered them if you start doing something else for a moment and come back to the calculation. It's also very annoying how you have to enter the argument for things like sine before you type sine, not after. That feels like doing X times Sine of WHO KNOWS, rather than taking the sine of X!
I love the Ti-84 and the Ti Voyage 200 - but this calculator is hard to use, and poorly designed. If you just want to add up simple numerical terms, it does that fine. If you want to do anything more, go with the Sharp EL-W535 WriteView, which is cheaper and works more intuitively, and saves its settings (even when you turn it off and on, as one would expect)! I just wish the Sharp was solar, though.
The Ti-36X is pretty sexy though, I'll give it that. Too bad its beauty is just a thin layer of plastic. Oh yes, and the display angle for the output screen is built for holding it out in front of you to type on it, so don't try to raise it up to look at the screen more closely - you won't be able to see a thing on it.

Love this model for lab, solar easily works near windows or low lights,3 memories are indispensable(could use 5), always reliable in our constant use, not gentle, environment. Have used this model for many years. Only problems: they are "borrowed" and never returned. m leuther.

nothing like solar! I still have the old version, so I wanted one that had the same functions on the same keys. you can't go wrong with this Texas Instruments scientific calulator - I think it's the best one out there and the easiest to use.
Not for timed tests or use in dim areas August 19, 2009
Mary Casuccio (Mobile, AL)
I bought this calculator for the FE exam and ended up returning it. It was often very slow to turn on, sometimes even in bright settings. The calculations were very slow. It should not take 2+ seconds to give me the sine of 45 deg! Considering they're about the same cost, buy a Casio fx115 instead.
