 A Highly Useful Calculator November 10, 2000

I bought the TI-83 PLUS during my high school freshmen year. I bought it because we needed for Geometry. As a sophmore, I found this calculator to be a very useful tool as I continue to use it! I use it for algebra II AND chemistry -- plus, like they said, it's upgradable. Of course, I don't know ALL the functions of this calculator, but it's very useful nevertheless. It has a great keypad, a ton of functions, and it's easy to change modes. The TI-83 PLUS is incomparable to an ordinary scientific calculator -- it is SO much more! I think the TI-83 PLUS is the best buy, since it's upgradable and all. It's better than the the regular TI-83 and a better buy (since it's only a few bucks more). Even the overall look of it is different -- The TI-83 PLUS is pretty slim, in my opinion and its screen is better than the TI-83 screen. Overall, this is one of the best graphing calculators out there!

I have a Ti-83 and a Ti-89. All of my friends have the Ti-83 Plus and they are happy with it. However, I use the Ti-89 on all of my tests because it can easily solve equations that the Ti-83 cannot. If you can afford the money the Ti-89 is a better buy.
A Review From a Trig Student September 23, 2000
This calculator is the best!!! Its best feature is that it is easy to use. My high school, and alot of others, are still using the TI-82, so when you learn to use the calculator, you have to learn on your own. But simce the 83+ is really similar to the 82, learning the functions is easy. Its fast and easy, and the pixels are easy to read. It was great on the PSAT. Its also alot cheaper than the 89 or 92, and performs all the functions that you will need up to Calculus and even slightly beyond. I reccomend this calculator to any High School Student in Algebra 2 or higher.
Pretty cool calc. September 23, 2000

From having to use a non-graphing calaculator to using the TI-83 Plus is great. I got this for my Geometry class, and I know that you are supposed to use it for math, but some of the games for it are pretty cool :). If you want the really cool games get a program called ION, and then get games made for ION. They run fast and look awesome. For math, this thing works great, and let's me see what I am doing a LOT better. This is one cool calc.

For someone who is new to graphing calculators, this is the perfect one to buy. (I have owned the TI-83, TI-86, and TI-92) The TI-83 has an excellent key layout (better than the TI-82 or 85), an easy to use graphing interface, and a simple programming language for creating conversion programs, etc. For more advanced features such as derivative solving capability or a QWERTY style keyboard you will have to buy the $200 TI-92, but even advanced calculus classes usually don't require such a powerful calculator; in fact, many of them don't allow it (the TI-92).If you are trying to decide between the TI-82 and 83, you should definitely pay the few extra dollars for the 83. The extra features, improved display, and faster processing make it an easy decision.
