Economical Calculator with Limitations November 4, 2009
Kevin R. Austra (Delaware Valley, USA)
Consider the TI-34 MultiView a good calculator as long as you accept the fact that it is not an inexpensive substitute for the TI-83, 84, or 89 calculators. The MultiView has some nice features coupled with modest capabilities. It is certainly an improvement over the pocket calculator I have carried for years. The battery for my old calculator was difficult to find so I decided to upgrade to a more versatile Texas Instruments model. The package describes this calculator as a middle school and pre algebra calculator. I concur.
The package also lists the calculator as capable of Algebra 1 & 2, Trigonometry, and other math disciplines. I agree with this primarily in the sense that any calculator is helpful when working through math problems.
The TI-34 MultiView is one of several Texas Instruments calculators in the $8.00 to $22.00 range. All of these calculators perform basically the same functions. The major difference with the MultiView is that it allows for an additional viewing line on the screen. The best way to describe this calculator's capabilities is that it is designed to assist the user in solving equations long-hand. For more complex equations you have to enter operations a few numbers and exponents at a time and then solve the problem using the separate subtotals. The calculator has a scroll function that allows you to scroll back to find prior entries and answers. If you enter too lengthy an equation the calculator will give you an error message.
Unlike its much more expensive brothers, the TI-34 does not solve for x. The TI-34 MultiView has a simplify function that is best used with fractions. It will not simplify equations with variables. The other thing to keep in mind is that you must enter separate segments of an algebraic equation into the calculator in proper algebraic order or else you will either get an error message or an incorrect answer.
The bottom line is that this is a good calculator for general home or business use. As far as school is concerned this calculator is perfect for middle school. If you are searching for a calculator for high school or college, spend the extra money for the TI 80-Series.
