Re: A better calculator, for what?
I bought the ti89 because it was my first graphing calculator and I thought
the new one would be more like the calculators would be in the future. Just
like I bought a computer with a Windows operating system instead of a DOS
operating system. Now that I have this calculator I can say I like
something about it that I don't think I can do with other calculators (I'm
not really sure because I never learned how to use the other one's). I can
go back and steal other equations and put them back in the, for lack of a
better term, "command line" and change the variables. Also for Two
Dimensional Kinematics in Physics I need variables from one dimension for
the other. It's also good to be able to see the mistakes that I did during
a test and quickly change the wrong variables to the correct ones while the
clock is ticking. Can you do that with any of the other ones? If not, is
that a good reason for me to like the 89?
