Re: TI-85 vs TI-83
[Prev][Next][Index][Thread]
--->My son just purchased a TI-83 to use in his advanced algebra class.
Many of

functions and

reasonable?
It really depends on how bad he's going to need to do statistics, because
that's about the only big drawback of the 85 that I can think of. My
call would be to get the 85, since, like you said, his friends have 85's,
so he'll definitely want to link up with them. Also, if he's into
programming them, the 85 is MUCH better than the 83.

In my limited experience with the 83's, the 85 seems to be a good bit
faster than the 83. You'd probably want to get a second opinion on that,
though :-)
