For Algebra three teachers usually suggest getting the 82. Though I believe
the 83 has some of the same functions. For Alg (I have have alg 3 just not
honors)you will doing alot of graphs, thus the idea of a table will be alot of
help. The 85 doesn't have a table function, gots the evaluate though. I would
go w/what the majority of your class has cause then you'll get more help if
you need any. I've got an 85 though it lacks some capabilities one does in
those classes it has a substitutive way. I like the 85 cause I had it for a
couple of years before I got into Alg 3 so I'm used to it. Don't know if this
helps but this is my $0.02 on it
