I use Sharp calculators



I guess that model is over 5 years old now but it blew my goddamn mind when I saw it, when I was using the older but mostly functionally-equivalent one-line display model

thing helped carry me through my nuclear engineering degree where I saved a fuckton of time on tests not having to think too hard about how to enter complex equations, and answers in fractions is great

also since it's too simple to be considered "programmable" it was allowed into exams to begin with, unlike graphing calculators which are a hassle to enter complex equations into anyway

edit: it's worse than the casio one in the OP but it was doing this stuff for years before casio caught up

If you need an exam calc the only worries about the fx-991ex are that some of its functions are too strong. Namely if you are in a calculus class it can do definite integrals and derivatives and if you are in an introductory stats class it can do all of that stuff almost automatically. For the former case get an fx-82ex. You'll have to order it from ebay as it is not sold in the US but it is still very cheap. It does not do integrals or derivatives and while it has normal, statistics and table submodes it does not have complex number mode, base n mode, matrices, vectors, distribution (except for basic stuff in stats), spreadsheets, the equation solver, the inequality solver or the ratio mode. These are all on the 991ex.

Also the 82ex is battery only instead of solar/batt but it uses a AAA that lasts for around two years with daily use. I think the 85ex is the 82 with a solar panel as well.

Wear this watch every day to work.

It's survived countless dings, scratches, rain, oil, mud, and everything I've thrown at it for the past 5 years. The little rubber band that holds the excess strap finally died 6 months ago, but the rest is holding strong.

They're fine but they wrangled some exclusivity agreements with a lot of school districts a few decades ago and therefore get away with charging $100+ for something that should cost about what the OP calculator does.

ya theyre really great even but im surprised they are still able to find people to make parts for that fuckin thing. maybe if you open it up the circuit board is the size of a peanut now

also $100 :lol:
