I just transferred to Portland State University from Portland Community
College, and while I do not yet know what the University wants you to use, the
math dept. at the community college is moving from the TI85 to the TI92
starting in the fall. I purchased one recently, and it is almost too good!
It is really an excellant calculator, and quite easy to use. This switch
applies mainly to the upper math classes, such as MTH 251 and higher. I
suppose the 92 could be used in lower classes, however it might be overkill!
Hope this helps...
