algebra calculator?

[ccc]

Does an EASY to use algebra calculator exist. One that is so bonehead user friendly it seems like cheating.. I am trying to get into this school, and they want me to take a test, but I can use a calculator. I havent dont algebra in yearrrrrrrrs, and I dont have to desire to even open a book at look at that horrible crap!

TI-83 Plus is your best bet, its relatively simple and you can use it to download programs off the net.

i would go with the HP48G+ calculator, its fairly easy to use, and far more powerful than the TI's. i have the HP48GX and i use it all the time, and you can dl a lot of algebra programs from the web.

TI-83 is a good choice but my wife is a math teacher and she recommended the TI-73 over the TI-83 because it is easier to operate. Of course, she is a junior high school teacher though. The TI-73 is brand new and her school just purchased them because of the ease of operation. If you are planning to do advanced algebra the TI-83 would be better although more complicated to operate.

TI-83 HAS DONE WONDERS FOR ME IN CALCULUS AND COLLEGE ALGEBRA. I HAVENT HEARD ABOUT THE 73 THOUGH. CHECK THEM BOTH OUT.

I'm waiting also for that too!

The TI-73 has just come out and is an easier version than the TI-83. I think my wife said that her students were having a hard time with the TI-83, so they went with the TI-73.

IS IT BETTER THAN THE 82? I KNOW THE 82 IS ALMOST LIKE THE 83 EXCEPT FOR A FEW KEY THINGS. I LIKE THE 83 MUCH BETTER THOUGH B/C OF THOSE FEW THINGS.

She did say the 83 was an excellent calculator because it basically did everything she wants. She hasn't said anything about the 82 but I'm sure she has used it. She really loves the 83 because she likes doing complicated problems. Maybe that is why she married me!
