I am looking for a good scientific calculator to use at university level (engineering).
Pic related is what I currently have. It's shit, it doesn't even solve linear equations.
What I'm looking for:
-Something cheap.
-Solar powered.
-Rectangular shape with no lid (I fucking hate the ones that are weird, I just want a brick calculator).
-Lots of functions but non-programmable (so I can use it on my exams).
What's your favorite calculator, Jow Forums?

I use one, it's called "Not-Being-Shit-At-Math IIXS(tm)". Got it for free and been using it for almost 24 years now. If you rely on a calculator for anything besides the basics and can't do the rest on paper quickly enough to pass a test you shouldn't be in engineering.
Then buy a fucking abbacus and stick it up your ass, faggot.
whats with kids asking for meme calculators.
go buy a casio or a ti like a normal student you fucking snowflake
kill yourself.
but he's right. get a fucking $10 TI and shut up. it's got everything you need for a test. for everything else, use fucking matlab or R or excel or whatever engineers use.
fx-115es
I'm guessing your weight is in the 250-350 lbs region.
MS excell
71" and 192lbs as of last monday according to my biannual physical assessment
Jokes on you brainlet, I've used an abacus before. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
All you need is the most basic calculator.
The most I'd ever go for on a calculator:
>10 digits
>basic arithmetic operations
>square root, common root, exponents
>brackets
>sin, cos, tan and their respective inverses
>log and ant.log
Everything else you can do by hand.
TI Nspire CX CAS.

I have been using it all throughout my college. I love it.
Oh shit fucking wrecked how will the getfag ever recover.
>10 digits
KYS
How many digits could you possibly want?
I'm using a casio fx-991es plus
Battery backup and solar
It has a lid like the calc in your picture
its got base conversion, integration and differentiation with limits/points, linear quadratic and maybe cubic equation solver, matrix manipulation and all the other functions your calc has
/thread but using the calculator in the OP
If it can't be easily done with that calculator then you need a CAS or some numeric software like Matlab/Octave/Excel/R
Don't fall for the TI shills, if you insist on being a brainlet instead of just git gud, get , or get the newer FX-991 that has a higher resolution display and nice tables along with some extra functionality like displaying graphs on a smartphone
>If you rely on a calculator for anything besides the basics and can't do the rest on paper quickly enough to pass a test you shouldn't be in engineering.
Maybe he doesn't want to just pass and wants and easy A
>purposely making things more difficult for yourself
Didn't you make this post the other day? Like I mentioned there, your uni probably has a list of allowed calculators. Base your decision on that list.
Depends on the class, retard. Most of my math classes didn't allow a calculator (because it really wasn't needed), but it was essential for stats because of all the messy computations you had to do.
That calculator 3 generations later
I got this one, love the complex functionality, very handy for an electrical engineer
lel faggot. Styudying engineering yet too stupid to find himelf a calculator. Just neck yourself already.
Get the one I have. Studying engineering too.
Casio fx-991DEX
Sexy and really light weight. Sad that it has a white cover though.
And how do you do linear recursion by hand genius ?
Actually, anything graphical is 10 times more convenient on a calculator, but I get it, you guys like to make it tough for yourself, like with imperial units.
Also, the newer TI calculator have a nice display and exam mode preventing yourself from programming functions, but I don't know if they would let you use it, and it's pretty expensive for a calculator
What car is that?
I'll sell you my TInspire for $50
>i just have a small dick, and rant bs
>like with imperial units
spotted the pseudo-intellectual
I have one of these, it's great.
Fuck off cunt, having a graphing calculator is incredibly handy. Especially one where you can record your data for future reference easily.
By far my favorite calculator. I think it was 30 €. I've had it while also having a graph-capable one on the side, and ended up using the TI-30X Pro 99% of the time anyway.
>get a fucking $10 TI
But it'll be virtually the same or worse than his Casio thing
Casio fx-350EX
>Something cheap.
It's quite cheap.
>Solar powered.
lol, why?
>Rectangular shape with no lid
You need to deal with a lid(every good calculator has one), but you can throw it away. It doesn't have any functions written on it back
>Lots of functions but non-programmable
274, I hope it's enough.
>Casio fx-350EX
You're paying more than the FX991ex for something that does less and doesn't have solar power?
FX991ex is 2times price of fx-350EX, brainlet.
Kek
Ebay and amazon list the fx350ex around $30~36
The fx991ex is $16~19
Don't know what the prices are in your third world shit hole.
MatLab + Mathematica + CASIO FX 991 ES PLUS.
Now engineer the shit out with these bitches!
I have one and I love it.
what the fuck?
That dosen't make any sence.
Why is fx350ex so expensive nowdays?
>That dosen't make any sence.
They all the same hardware as the FX991DE/FX-JP900N so they don't save any components. It's just gimped down to meet some nation's testing requirements. Since you have to buy it with no substitutions, they can jack up the price.

Forget more functions, you need something cute, OP.
an entire computer
Not trying to shill but the TI-Nspire CAS is pretty hard to beat.
I wish it had soft buttons like the 83 though
fucking this
>professor asked us if we want to use a calculator or no
>most say yes, idgaf so no
>numbers match up, very easy to solve, really nice
>most leave with head hanging, so ask what's up
>friend shows me exam
>it's a cluster fuck
on the other hand, I really like my hp rpn calc
tho it's not allowed during exams
I have this one and I would highly recommend it.
I kek'd so hard on this

casio fx-991EX classwiz
Got this one for free and I love it. I don't even know what I'd need an SD slot for. 1.5MB is enough for a damn calculator.
