So,
Starting computer enginering and I told a friend I was thinking on saving some money to get the new Nspire CX II which is not on sale yet. He gave me his TI-89 Titanium so I can start studying.
I don't care for the color/backlight screen on the Nspire and I was thinking on learning me some Julia instead. Other than the fancy stuff, what am I losing if I don't get the TI-Nspire CX II? Will the Nspire CX II help me learn more?
Thank you lovely anons.
the resolution of the screen is better, you get a lot more storage and a better processor . 89 needs 4 AAA's
Why does nobody ever get the CAS version? The number one function I used was SOLVE and I don't believe non-CAS versions have it due to higshchool testing shit.
I understand that screen, storage and CPU are nifty for some people, but not for me, thanks. I have my PSP if I want to play some games too.
Get the old non-colour Nspires for that comfy screen. You can't play Mario Land 2 on it properly due to the LCD screen ghosting but you're not in 10th grade pretending to do your homework anymore.
How does CAS compare between them? How Nspire CX II CAS worth the money?
Now that is a pretty thing.
You can emulate the Nspire range for free on your phone or PC with Firebird if you're cash strapped and need one. I think Omnimaga has the download and TiPlanet the roms. Never used a TI-89 so I can't really comment on them.
I havent done any math since Methods and Specialist in highschool but the CAS could solve and transpose equations and simultaneous equations like Wolfram Alpha, while the non-CAS was a gimped version with this functionality and anything derived from it removed so that it could be used in highschool algebra tests. It may not sound like a big deal when you're doing higher level math, but it really comes in handy when you're stuck and need to show workings. I dunno what else they removed for compliance. They're all are about the same price regardless of the version.
Super interesting, but TBO I rather learn some Numpy programming rather than using my laptop to emulate a calculator. And that's my point: it seems that the Titanium is good enough for a calculator. Anything else I could just use a computer running Linux. Am I wrong? Thanks!
Misused rather.
I have a TI-89 from 1999. I still use it today.
To me it just makes sense. I feel I don't wanna use anything else. I turned Apps Desktop off and now it seems like the perfect calculator. Of course, it is we cannot use them during high school in my country.
These have the cooler looking form factor
It's really easy to use. I've yet to find a feature that I wanted that it didn't have. Great calculator all around, and those 4 AAA's last what seems like forever.
What are your top 3 features on the Titanium?
Get a Casio.
They are both crap. Get a Casio.
Mind to argue your opinion?
Why are you using TI garbage, get a Casio
>opinion
Are you retarded or something?
Is saying the water is wet an opinion to you?
The only thing I know different about the Titanium than mine is the USB port. It might have a beefier 68k CPU, but I don't know. The USB is definitely a benefit though, but I've been using my plain TI-89 for so long that I would need USB only in certain conditions to extend the 89's purpose for very specific programs. I can still make a parallel port adapter for it though, as long as my computer has one.
Rude and equivocated.
Go drink some bleach and shoot yourself in the mouth, you fucking failed abortion.
USB is handy. It is surprising the amount of stuff that a 10 MHz CPU can do for you. I don't have much experience yet but I believe that we lost the horizon on software development. Way to many abstractions on top of each other.
>Bad day at school
Nspire = middle class normies. Steal a calculator op.
