I've been comparing the functions/ease of use of these two calculators lately - TI 36XPro and Casio fx-115es. The Casio has been very popular for a few years now, the TI is a fairly new model. So far, the TI gets my vote for its more intuitive design.

 I have about 6 of these, all the older model that is smaller and has the better rubber buttons. I've used them from algebra in middle school to Calc3 in college and still use them every day. |

TI-83+ only because that is what they are using in my Calc class. Easier to use what they teach on, rather than trying to adapt it to something different.

I have a Ti83 and a Ti30 something. I actually like the 30 better because it just makes more sense. For example I can type fractions in as I see them not with the divide symbol. It just doesn't do as much. I wish they made the ti 80 series like that.

I have a TI-89 somewhere that I bought when I started college. Ended up having to use a TI-30 to take my FE test and found I liked it more for 95% of my calculating needs. Use my Droid a lot too.
When you really need to do math, Maple or Matlab is the way to go. |

HP 48G, and the iPhone 48G emulator (m48). I've used HP since my sophomore year of college (1994). TI is the Bose of the calculator world. Great advertising and name recognition, but poor performance compared to others in the market. Still use my 48G every day. Using it since about 1992. I'll have to checkout the iPhone app. |

HP48G for the win....been using mine since '94. I change the batteries every few years and have no issues. I really like the IR port on it......beaming info back and forth between classmates in high school was fun....but running the tv remote app to disrupt boring movies (causing the teacher to think that there was something actually wrong) was a lot of fun....and still is!
Super easy to use once you figure out how it works.....and the stacks are awesome! And the really nice thing....I know that no one is ever going to ask to use it (or walk off with it). Beyond the equations that it came with, I programmed in every one that I needed for any class (math through physics)..... I also have a TI-84+ that all of my current textbooks refer to....but I find it awkward and simplistic. I can't make it do what I want and end up having to repeat steps that I don't have to with the 48G.....so I use the 48G on exams and the Professors reminisce. |

First two years of engineering school (74, 75) we were not permitted to use calculators in certain courses during exams. Slide rules ruled. I still have my first, a Pickett, and a Keuffel & Esser that was given to me by an upperclassman who finally graduated to full use of his HP35.
Still, I bought a new HP45 for $365 in 1974 dollars to use for homework and the courses that did permit calculators, and it still balances my checkbook. I adapted NiMH phone batteries to run it. At work, my daily use calc is an HP41CV, bouught new in the early 80s when introduced. Or a Sama & Etani circular slide rule. Noah |

I once wrote a 300 line code in Matlab to optimize the uni-directional carbon fiber layup schedule of an aircraft wing for weight, stiffness and planar fexure (no twisting while bending) ETA: Try asking Matlab "why" and see what it tells you. Then try it again. The variances are limitless. |

TI-85 : High school through college, still my calculator of choice for almost everything.
TI-89: Grad school, still don't know how to use all of the functions, but fun to play with the built-in CAS. Matlab: Grad school, with symbolic math toolbox, still useful (but my version is 12 years old). New non-student copies are EXPENSIVE. Maxima: FREE CAS with good symbolic manipulation, decent graphing. I use it and recommend it to my students. I think my next purchase will be the home license version of Mathematica. I had a copy of mma around version 3, it that was part of an award for a conference presentation, but it was the student version and I had already graduated...so I couldn't use it (they wouldn't give me a key for it, even though they had donated it to the conference as an award.  ) |

It got me though my bachelors, backpacked thru India on a semester abroad, 10+ years in an Engineering career and still going strong. All those coffee and soda spills just temporarily make the buttons sticky. The professors in India were terrified of it...didn't let me us it for tests. |

TI-89 Titanium since i was a freshman in high school and throughout college, i have gotten very proficient with it. I personally think it is one of the best handheld calculators ever made, and all my stuck up professors who "banned" it can fuck off.
I took engineering with Excel and MATLAB last year and learned how to use them to do math, I dislike MATLAB because it is to tedious. I also use the HP40gs as my backup... |

In high school, it was a TI-30- it had red LEDs, and took a 9V battery. In college, I started with a TI-55 II, which died, and TI replaced it with a TI-55-III (I think those are the versions.) From there, an HP-11C, and an HP-41C, which I ended up selling to a friend's brother.
After college- HP-42S, until I was given an HP-48GX, which I use some, but mainly I use the EMU-48 on my PC. I have some other HP's, as well as a Casio and a TI-83+, but those are in storage. |
