chocolateTHUNDER posted:I used a TI-84 in college math classes just 2 or 3 years ago. The majority of calculators there were Ti-84's. I don't think it'll ever die. I used the TI-89, primarily because the whole algebraic equation solver was a godsend in class. The thing about TI calculators is you basically can't kill them. I remember dropping my calculator down whole stairwells without any problems.

Yudo posted:What I don't get is that those calculators cost about the same as a student license of Maple or Mathematica, both vastly more capable and easier to use. My only fond memories of using a TI-8x was playing Drug Wars in geometry. SATs. You get the calculators for SAT testing basically because smartphones and the calculator computers (TI INSPIRE if I remember right) can be used for cheating. ACTs don't allow the computer algebraic solver TI-89 equivalents though. Funnily enough SATs and ACTs never had you wipe your calculator memory before you started testing so you could load it up with all sorts of formula and tips beforehand.
