hey TP, hawking and his ilk think that the mass of a paperclip could be accelerated to a quarter of c in 10 minutes (w/ a 100 km^2 laser array) is that reasonable?

I wish we could turn this into a general calculator appreciation station. I've been collecting calculators lately and TI, HP and Casio all have great calculators.

my experience with replacing an FX-82 that I've had for 10+ years (only because all the text has worn off) with a new version of the FX-82 is that the build quality (especially the buttons) and the input lag (I can press buttons faster than they register) on the new one are awful.

It looks like they were but they have a different feel. The 82es is kind of a dud. raton fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Aug 27, 2016 |

so in 10th grade trig? i think it was. we had to do this poo poo like evaluate 2 sin x at 24 values from 0 to 2*pi. That sort of thing. it was just pages and pages of repetitive work every night and we hated it. Well i figured out that the TI calcs have what I now know as eval() and so I wrote a program that let you enter in the start, end and step values, and actually type in the equation, and just [ENTER] [ENTER] [ENTER] for all the answers. It spread among the classes and they responded by banning graphing calcs for the rest of the semester. the gently caress

You can do that in the fx-911ex using the table function btw -- it prompts you for equation, start, end, and step. raton fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Aug 27, 2016 |

These other posters are sort of implying that they use R or Python for everything though and I would guess there are better tools for at least some applications.

There's some low rear end energy arm processors. Teachers don't want to learn new calculators so no one makes new calculators.

Yeah, there are for sure better tools for pretty much anything else. The statistical software/languages are really good at what they were built for and absolutely terrible at everything else.

Math teachers probably wouldn't mind a better calculator if the testing bodies weren't bribed cunts. Also the fx-911ex had zero learning curve for me anyway, even features I'd never used in another calculator were piss easy to figure out on it, so a user friendly calculator can certainly be done. I didn't think that it would be the case before I got it but it was.
