Since 1988. I had to do some seaching to get a replacement to one I spilled coffee on. I have one for work and one for home. I've had others, like a HP and a TI-89. This Casio is hard to beat. |

TI-83 Plus
Been using it in; Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, and every math course up to Pre-Calc and soon to be Calc 1 |

HP-49GX when I am not using Matlab.
And I can choke a PC with Matlab and have to move to a much larger computer a lot. |

Quoted: Definitely will be doing that.Quoted: Does it mean I am a nerd if I knew what brand of software that graphic is from?  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. |

TI83+ from ~2002
ETA: I use wolfram alpha whenever I have access to a computer. Does it make me a nerd that within an hour of WolframAlpha Pro being released, I had a subscription?

Also, the TI-89 was pretty much the weapon of choice for most of us in the engineering school I just came from. I still keep my 89 with me everyday in my briefcase, but now I just use it for simple stuff. Its still nice to be able to go back so many operations and see what I did, which is why I use it and not a simple 4-function. |

I use a HP20s for my daily use (estimating and managing construction projects). When surveying I run the Hp48 with the "cogo" card. I also have a recon with the survey pro app and it works good except I can figure out how to run vertical curves on it. I like using the 48 so i havent spent the time to figure the recon out. It is much more user friendly because you dont have to know squat about surveying, only what buttons to push..

TI89, not Titanium.
I actually have a TI89 Titanium too, but the regular one actually clocks faster for some reason. Solve the same problem in both calculators starting at the same time, and the Titanium model takes twice as long... ...on the other hand, the Titanium has more flash memory, so it's a tradeoff. |

TI-36 for all the classes where I can use only that in the tests. Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha for any real heavy lifting, or if I want to work without my calculator. |

I use a TI-36X Pro for electrical engineering work. While I was in college, I used a TI-89 Titanium and a Casio FX-115 MS. I used the Casio FX-115 MS on the Fundamentals of Engineering exam.
I recently did a video review of the TI-36X Pro. Its a newer calculator with a lot of great features for the FE and PE exam.
