Reddit reviews Casio FX115ESPLUS Scientific Calculator

Go with the brand you're most used to. Since it sounds like you use a casio, you'll want this guy.

No I don't think so. You will want a scientific calculator that preferably has complex numbers and calculus functions integrated into it. Something like this is ideal. https://www.amazon.com/Casio-fx-115ES-Engineering-Scientific-Calculator/dp/B007W7SGLO?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_3

Same calc that I have but I paid around $12 at Walmart. Does everything you need to do that doesn't require complex graphing or data analysis (at that point you should be using Matlab anyway).

Get this one and you will not regret it. Best calculator ever and is FE approved

I used it for my FE and could really fly on that thing

I used two calculators in my algebra, trig, calculus, and stats classes:

(1) TI-89. I just got the most basic model I could find on craigslist. It cost me $50. I'll probably be able to sell it for $50 if I ever want to get rid of it. It's handy to keep around just in case. It is useful for calculus because it is the cheapest TI calculator that can solve derivatives, integrals, differential equations (etc) symbolically.

(2) Casio fx-115ES. This is a scientific calculator, and I find myself using it whenever I need a calculator. It has a pretty intuitive interface that can save you from dozens of parenthesis when writing a long expression. Also, it can do definite integrals and evaluate the derivative of an expression at a given x value.

I find that when I want to do graphing or statistics or whatnot, I usually end up using a computer. As such, I haven't touched my TI-89 in a while. I mostly use it to loan out to friends and other students.

This is the one I use: Casio fx-115ES PLUS
$13 and does 99% of what I need it to do. Anything it can't do I just plug into Wolfram Alpha.

let me introduce you to the best calculator i've ever used,
http://www.amazon.ca/Casio-FX-115ES-Plus-Scientific-Calculator/dp/B007W7SGLO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457070600&sr=8-1&keywords=casio+115es+plus

it can do complex arithmetic, definite integrals, matrix calculations.
anything you realistically need to do, this calculator does it for me.

For a calculator, I'd recommend a scientific calculator+wolfram (I like thisone). For notes, I tend to keep one notebook for each course+loose leaf for homework.

Casio FX 115ES Plus. I've been using it for a while its saves me a lot of time when doing multiple cross products and solving simultaneous equations (because you know, aintnobodygottimefothat!). It also has more features that you would find helpful. Another contender is the TI-36X Pro (recommended here quite often although I've never used it).

I used a super fancy ti calculator (ti voyager, had a qwerty keyboard and everything) for my first two years of college and then my engineering profs banned it and told us we could only use fe (fundamentals of engineering exam) approved calculators. I then went and researched the best of those calculators and discovered the Casio fx 115 es.

I'm not trying to get you something you don't want but after learning to use this calculator i realised how much of a waste of money graphing calculators are. You are never asked a question on any college level test that says "plot what this function looks like" unless it is something your calculator can't handle and for homework assignments you can just install x cas on your smartphone.

There is also a ti equivalent of the calculator so noone here thinks I'm a Casio rep but imo the Casio is way more capable and user friendly (I'm personally fond of the button layout)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004NBZB2Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1408927322&sr=8-1

anyway what I'm saying is I'll get you either of those calculators (Casio fx 115 or ti 36) but not the graphing calculators because I don't own any and think they're a waste of money for over dependant math newbies. If that interests you let me know and I'll buy one for you asap.

Seriously these calculators can do vector math, dot products, derivatives and integrals, probability (ncr and npr) and list values of functions in a table format (as close to graphing as you need to get imo). Even the normal graphing calculators can't do all that!

Buy a new one for $12: https://www.amazon.com/Casio-fx-115ES-Engineering-Scientific-Calculator/dp/B007W7SGLO

OR

Contact Casio

That's a lot of cash for a calculator that doesn't work right.

<3 my FX-115

My engineering buddies have told me that the preferred calculators for engineering field is Casio. This is wgat i have and it has impressed me bounds over the TI-36x. Casio fx-115ES PLUS Engineering/Scientific Calculator https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007W7SGLO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_eTKxwb9D86A41

As someone who struggled with this your advice is spot on. I'd add this, go buy this, right now. https://www.amazon.com/Casio-fx-115ES-Engineering-Scientific-Calculator/dp/B007W7SGLO/ref=sxin_4_osp48-5659e66b_cov?ascsubtag=5659e66b-b19b-4e15-a7ee-aeb0197df8eb&creativeASIN=B007W7SGLO&crid=1C44CHKHJVQOZ&cv_ct_id=amzn1.osp.5659e66b-b19b-4e15-a7ee-aeb0197df8eb&cv_ct_pg=search&cv_ct_wn=osp-search&keywords=algebra+calculator&linkCode=oas&pd_rd_i=B007W7SGLO&pd_rd_r=f8a8168c-87f4-4474-96ca-a65c1ca3a602&pd_rd_w=EdTW5&pd_rd_wg=1ve1q&pf_rd_p=a23a388c-add5-49df-b293-a31ade89c6bf&pf_rd_r=C59CRJHJSGD0Q4MKTSST&qid=1574775839&s=electronics&sprefix=algebra+cal%2Celectronics%2C143&tag=spyonsite-20

It does half the test for you if you know how to use it :)

If you're looking for advanced I would recommend a ti-89 though most courses may not let you use something with a CAS. You might like this: (https://www.amazon.com/Casio-fx-115ES-Engineering-Scientific-Calculator/dp/B007W7SGLO)[Casio fx115es] or the ti34 multiline

I bought a Casio fx-115ES but never used it - the Windows calculator was so much easier to use. Also the Casio is limited to 16 binary bits in the display and the Windows calc goes to 64 bits (at least). Still, can't go wrong for $14

Bunch of used one on Ebay under $20. Free shipping too....

A new TI-36 is $18 on Amazon. What can the 85 do what the 36 can't?

Or just switch brands:

Works good. They sell it with the Eng sticker in the bookstore

Just a bit of advice, start early in your degree getting used to a NCEES approved calculator. HP35s is my favorite and I still use at my job and the Casio is another good choice.

Buenos dias muchachada (No me peguen, ya me voy).

Calculadoras graficadoras para la facultad? Si, no, por que?

​

Dado a que mi calculadora cientifica no hace ni siquiera resolvente, estaba viendo de traer con Grabr una Casio FX CG50 pero no se.. ya veo que al final es una de esas pelotudeces que no necesito (Dicho sea el paso, hago ing informatica y en este momento estoy cursando Analisis 1). La otra opcion era traer algo mas sencillo como una Fx-115ES Plus o similar pero ahi ya no se si vale la pena con Grabr.

Edit: Y si tienen recomendaciones de modelos, se las tomo también.

​

Saludos!

I used this one in addition to the Windows calculator. The Windows calc is the easiest way to convert between binary, hex, and dec, though.

From Amazon.com:

Product Description
Advanced, four-line scientific calculator, with higher-level math and science functionality, that is ideal for computer science and engineering courses in which graphing technology may not be permitted.


I used this on all the way through my bachelor and continue to use it during my master and at work:

>I've been wondering which calculators are easiest to use and do all necessary calculations for engineers.

Casio fx-115 has stood by me for more than a decade. It got me through school and beyond and I've yet to replace it or the batteries.

It also happens to be acceptable for the FE/PE exams (something I didn't know when I bought it).
