Excellent Four Function Calculator!!! October 3, 2008
Scott Baret (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
While my primary calculator is my TI-89 (a high-level graphing calculator), there are times when the four function calculator comes in handy. When it comes to tutoring elementary students, performing a simple calculation using one of the four functions, or occasions where the TI-89's AAA batteries have died, nothing beats the TI-503SV. I've had this calculator for many years and have never had a problem with it.
The size of the calculator is a definite plus. It fits nicely in a shirt pocket without creating a bulge. It also is the right size for a purse--I bought one for my grandmother, who carries it her purse to calculate tips at restaurants.
Ease of use is a definite plus with this machine. The numbers are crisp and large unlike many other pocket-sized four function calculators I've encountered over the years. All four basic operations plus square roots can be performed using this machine. There is also a memory function.
My favorite feature of this calculator is that it is battery-powered, not solar powered. In rooms where lighting is less than ideal the calculator will still work fine. To save battery life, Texas Instruments included a handy "off" button; the calculator will also shut off after a period of inactivity.
I recommend this calculator for everyone--the convenience, ease of use, low price, and compact design make it ideal for all.
An Excellent Basic Calculator September 24, 2004

I bought this calculator to keep in my desk drawer for simple problems of the four basic mathematical functions. I also have a TI-30Xa scientific calculator in there, but it is much more cumbersome to use, particularly when using memory functions. This is an extremely basic calculator, has very large numbers for ease of reading, and is very inexpensive, making it perfect for general use around the house, like balancing the checkbook. It actually can take square roots and do percentage problems, so basic math students could rely on it for elementary math work.
The one annoyance I had with the calculator concerns the instructions: you have to download them from the web in a PDF file; none are included in the package. (Not that you really need them for anything.) Although TI didn't include instructions, they did include an enormous and unwieldy, multi-lingual product registration sheet in the package in an apparent attempt to get customer names into their database (no doubt for marketing reasons.) I can't imagine someone paying postage to register a calculator that they paid five dollars for.
Despite the above nitpicky critique, I think this is a great little calculator, and I recommend it highly to anyone for their basic mathematical computations.

You know, when it comes to calculators you just can't beat Texas Instruments. They've been doing it longer and better than anyone else. Their machines are simple and easy to use, and for every day use you just can't beat the price. When I had a small business printing concert t-shirts, I bought 10 of this model for the people in my office. I only ended up needing 6, and gave the other 4 as stocking stuffers at Christmas! Great for young students, home bookkeepers, or simple office calculating.
