4 out of 5 stars casio fx260 solar calculator   August 23, 2009
J. Parrish (Murphy, NC USA)
this is a great find! It had everything I needed for an algebra class I'm taking.

I got this to replace an older Casio I've been using for nearly two decades until it finally gave up. I work in a laboratory, so it was well used, dropped, dripped on... Because it lasted so long, I got the same brand. So far, I like this new one even more. It's sturdy, good-sized buttons & a nice sliding lid. I use it only for simple calculations, so I don't use the function buttons much.

This calculator is easy to use but sometimes the screen acts up. Over all, I am satisfied with the item


5 out of 5 stars The only calculator you need   November 17, 2008

This little calculator is my favorite calculator of all time. It has been the only calculator I've needed for Algebra, Trigonometry, Calc I, II, and III, Discrete Mathematics, and Differential Equations. I believe I've gone through enough fundamental classes to say with confidence that this calculator has every function you will need.

Things I love about this calculator:

1) Durable
2) Light
3) Small, doesn't take up much room
4) Cheap
5) Works in fractions (won't reduce them to decimal values)
6) Has all the trig functions
7) Even has a pseudo-random number generator
8) Has all the scientific functions you could need
9) Its x^y function accepts fractions for y

The only thing I would add to this calculator would be a logarithm function that I could assign my own base to (log_y). It already has log_10 and log_e, but sometimes a log_2 is useful as well, for instance.

I think the size of this calculator is perfect. It's small and thin, but not too small. The screen is perfectly readable, and the buttons are the rubberized type that provide a nice tactile feel.
