/sci/ - Science & Math

>>10394030
for what purpose? computer math packages or a program on your phone are strictly superior unless you need it for a standardized test

>>10394034
For engineering, and I'm going to use it in exams.

>>10394030
Aw yisss I have that one and I love it

>>10394030
Had to buy that one for my electronics class to quickly convert polar and rectangular.
Otherwise I use the TI-30XB from 7th grade for my physics classes.
Also have a TI nspire CX which I haven't used since I did stats in highschool.

omegachad 36x pro has the most comfy layout

I just got this. Seems to be pretty good.

>>10394030
The only usable calculator. We call it "graph drawers" in Sweden though, maybe it doesn't even count as a calculator (even if it has that function and much much more)

All you will need in Uni

>>10394030
Get the version with solar power and the integral key.

>>10394030
Any calculator that does it all? Something that I can use for years without having to switch up bc of special functions that I need.

>>10395666
Matlab

>>10395682
brainlet
you should've asked what he wanted to use it for

>>10394174
this is the only correct answer

>>10395544
the CX CAS is pretty based, shame it's so overpriced for what it is. Relying on the solver in my first couple years of engineering instead of actually making an effort to learn the math was something I had to work past though

>>10394030
cute

>>10394030
Get the 115ex+ instead. It has matrix operations that are very handy.

>>10395666
>Any calculator that does it all
FX-JP900-N but it's not worth the marked up in price over the FX-991EX

>>10395811
Buying used exists, most uni students sell theirs after graduation and drop out.
I got mine for €60.

FX991 is good, should help you out.
Mathematica for everything else outside of exams

>>10395153
this

I used my TI-89 (base model, before the platinum) all through college. Earned my Masters in EE. It did everything I needed.

>>10397437
>platinum
*titanium

>>10394030
That's the best calculator for engi grad

Why hasn't some chinese foreign exchange student engineered a chassis to hide a phone in that looks like a calculator?

>>10397588
They're already available and they cause quite a scandal and subsequent banning of a specific calculator model when discovered.

Anything more advanced than a casio fx-82 is brainlet-tier.

>>10397601
If you don't need more than an fx-82 than you are either in high school or on a non-engineering degree.

>>10395592
This.
I spent like $15 on mine ten years ago.
It was enough for highschool and college.
It also has unit conversions and physics constants.
For anything too complicated, just use matlab or whatever programming language you know.
Anything other than TI is a good choice.

>>10397601
Isn't 82(suffix) just a 115/991(suffix) without solar power?

>>10397745
You'll never need more than a scientific.

>>10395153
Best

>>10397772
Typical math undergrad thinking.

>>10394174
this right here

It Just Werks (tm)

>>10395544
That's why when I study I use the calculator for arithmetic and graphing only. Otherwise your shooting yourself in the foot. You need to get that shit in your lizard brain.

>>10395666
>666
Satan doesn't use calculators, you can't trick me!

all the Casio's I've seen except for the 991EX look like the 991 ES+ I had to buy for uni. Very powerful if a bit clunky to navigate, especially for matrix operations. The 991EX is what they recommend to new freshers and it looks baller as fuck.
I also use a Casio Business app on my phone which is these two combined but with a shit ton more, like symbolic calculations. Also the touch screen makes it very comfy to use for large expressions.

I just use Wolfram Alpha.

>>10397893
>>10397772
Ah, now I see, 99% of /sci/ is larping high schoolers and freshman brainlets.
You see, calculators are not meant to aid you in math class, do the calculus for you. When you get over those and you familiarize yourself with diff equations the more complex tasks will come. This is the part where you learn to do engineering based on your basic skills you learned in math, physics and chemistry classes. Then you will absolutely need the more complex tools calculate strain in tensor space, calculate yield on hot rolled steel and calculate phase transformations from a set of data measured from a cooling sample.
These are just some tasks you absolutely need a good calculator.
But to understand this situation you have to be a seasoned engineer (((student))) who is well over the babby classes.

>>10398323
>These are just some tasks you absolutely need a good calculator.
No, you need a basic laptop.

>>10394030
>pink tax
>black tax

Casio is so problematic

>>10394030

>>10398643
You need a workstation level laptop for anything remotely engineering.
>quoting python
If you are an actual working engineer you need the sophisticated proprietary softwares like Origin, Maple, Simufact, Sloidedge etc...
A basic laptop would melt or throw an error message stating your hardware is laughably shit (Simufact and most FEM software does that)

>>10400233
>Origin, Maple
Lmao

>>10394030
>data farming thread
Nice try, glow-in-the-darks

>>10400233
>You need a workstation level laptop for anything remotely engineering.
And? It's not like a 100MHz graphing calculator with 128MB of RAM would do better
>A basic laptop
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-PH517-61-R0GX-Processor-Graphics/dp/B07GWX5X26
Probably better than your desktop.

>>10400333
>128MB of RAM
More like 128KB of RAM

>>10394174
But it doesn't support basic math, the other one is clearly better

>>10394030
Ti-84 on my phone

>>10395811
>Relying on the solver in my first couple years of engineering instead of actually making an effort to learn the math was something I had to work past though
Why? Fucking smartphones have apps for that!
Hand solving shit is so outdated.
I can't think of a job where you have to solve shit without a workstation with MatLab or Maple or some shit like that or a job that makes you solve shit out on the streets that a smartphone can't solve.

I use to say to people, if you are working on the field and your smartphone dies, you have worst problems to solve than mathematical ones.

>>10400386
It must suck being poor

>>10400386
Imagine being this poor. Lmao
>>10394030
I use pic related. It’s a pretty cool calculator and does everything you need.

>>10394174
The casio fx-991ex is better

>>10395544
Why does my calculator also have to be a calendar?

>>10395544
>>10401146
>a full keyboard when you could have used a bigger touch screen instead

kek, is TI even trying?

>>10395969
>>10395592

Literally banned from my uni cause it's too OP. Probably cause it can do integrals.

>>10400386
How do you like that setup, any drawbacks?

>>10402610
>Literally banned from my uni cause it's too OP. Probably cause it can do integrals.
What calculators are allow?

Ha! Mine has the biggest score!
Eat shit casihp faggots!

>>10405311
>he doesn't realize lower is better

Typical Ti owner.

>>10402598
I'm really debating switching to this one.

>>10398643
The TI CX CAS software is bretty good.

>>10397893
>not also using the calculator in order to be familiar with its functions and capabilities

>>10405459
Things that are not allowed on exams:
- calculators with full alphabetic keyboard in qwerty order
- laptops

Things that are allowed on exams:
- calculators with full alphabetic keyboard in alphabetic order

It's a learning curve, but the Nspire is designed as the standard high education calculator and no teacher will start arguing about it. It also has an "exam" mode where it is limited to normal scientific calc functions.

>>10394030
I have that one. But I never read the manual so I don't use any fancy stuff.

Am I a meme?

>>10394030
If it's anything like the fx-991ex or fx-115es, then its complex functionality is very basic.

>posting SAT rules without context or clear quoting

You have to be over the age of 18 to post here

>>10405431

It works great for what I use it for, I've had it for years.

>>10405796
>no machinist calculator
It's almost as if you hate calculators.

>>10394030
What? I'm poor.

>>10405796
You can never have too many calculators

Unironically a ti-84. If you aren't a brainlet, you can use it for just about any math class and get by just fine.

>>10398323
>Sits down in math class where the professor didn't ban calculators
>Hear the sound of 20 Asians typing novels into their calculators to find the problem most similar to the test question from the book.
This is what it's like whenever your prof doesn't only allow bare bones calc just so you don't shit yourself wondering if you're taking powers correctly.
