Re: Which TI should I get?
My thoughts on how to choose a calculator are that one must first decide
what they need the calculator to do. What are your goals for your
education? If you want to be an engineer then the calculator you want will
be different than if you are just going to take the minimum of math.
Personally, I like the 92. It is more expensive though. Therefore, it is
not worth the money unless you plan on taking lots of math. The reason I
like it is mostly because of the user interface. It is very easy to use.
The downside is that it is a big calculator. I understand from reading
e-mails on this site that the 89 is probably better if you want to go into
engineering. But, I am sure others will add their thoughts......
I wish you luck in making your purchase.
