The TI-83 is definitely all you need to get you through high school calculus and most of your math classes if your major isn't heavy on the math or engineering courses. However, if you are an engineer or math major, the TI-89 is nearly indispensable. I know of one person who managed to get through his calculus classes (they were still undergrad studies, mind you) with an 83, but everyone else used an 89. Even for the students whose majors are biology, chemistry, etc. the TI-89 has a feature that allows you to store your notes in its huge memory. Of course, you have to learn to do this, but once you figure it out, chances are that you'll be extremely happy you bought this calculator.

 A lot of hype, but it quickly fizzled October 1, 2006

Bought this product recently based on recommendations for an advanced math/ scientific calculator. Apparently, TI has almost all the schools eating out of their hands by having classrooms make these calculators mandatory in many classes.
I will say that the calculator features a lot and you can even purchase more applications to dowload at TI's Website. However, the calculator is complicated to use, and you almost need a course to learn how to use it. Furthermore, the functionality is poorly designed and if you press a wrong button the calculator will often freeze on you.
At the high price for these TI calculators you would think that they would have gotten all the bugs out. But let me assure you they are definitely there, and you would be better served to get a Casio or HP graphing calculator instead.
The last claculator you will ever need! April 18, 2006

I didn't have to have this calculator until 9th grade when I took Algebra 2. It has been the most reliable thing I have ever bought in my life. It's not needed for any level of math under Algebra 2. I'm now a college sophomore and am still using this calculator. I've been through trig., calculus, and stats. and it has been a lifesaver in all of them. I couldn't imagine taking those classes without the calculator. It is extremely durable. I don't know how many times I've dropped mine and it is still working. My one very important suggestion is that after purchasing your claculator, you should engrave your name or initials on it because a lot of them get stolen in school because they are so expensive.

This item is required by school for 9th grade Geometry. What a waste. Hardly used, a lot of money, unneccessary in the real world. In the world of computers, we still need crap in school...why, why, why!!!
