Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for students at every level, from junior high school algebra to college calculus, the Texas Instruments TI36 packs a lot of punch in a small, inexpensive unit. This solar-powered calculator combines features for statistical analysis, Boolean logic operations, and unit conversions in one sleek package.

Math students will appreciate TI36X's ability to perform fractional equations and calculate angle units (radians, grads, degrees) when performing trigonometric functions. Everyone will find the calculator's English/metric conversions helpful.

The TI36Xs single-line LCD is a little difficult to read when the unit is lying on a desk, and users in need of graphing functions will have to look elsewhere. Overall, however, for a calculator in this price range, the TI36X provides enough power for most high-level math and science needs.

Customer Reviews

A great buy!
I'm a research scientist. I started using a slide rule in high school about 1947, a computer in 1958, and scientific calculators some time in the early 1970s. Despite the power of computers I still like to have ready access to a good calculator, and my favorite brand (for versatility and ease of use) is Texas Instruments. The TI36X especially impresses me. It is a very powerful, very user-friendly scientific calculator for less than [price]. It performs virtually all scientific functions plus basic statistics and linear regressions and is light-powered in virtually any light. In my view, this is an incredible bargain. In fact, although I already have Texas Instruments calculators in my bedroom, den, living room, and at work, I couldn't resist the TI36X and bought one. It's a terrific calculator! If you don't need graphing capability, I highly recommend this powerful bargain calculator.

Good Enough for the PE Exam
As one of the "official seven" calculators now allowed on the PE exam, this inexpensive calculator was all I needed (civil exam, anyway). As a former die-hard HP fan, it took some retraining to "un-RPN" my fingers, but lots of practice problems using the calculator that I would be using on the test and I was OK. The display is clear and readable, the solar panel powers the calculator with just the light from a computer monitor. Bottom line: a good calculator and a great value.

An amazingly functional calculator.
I have used the TI-36X, which I bought several years ago after I lost the similar TI-35X. This calculator is excellent for everything from Pre-Algebra to Pre-Calculus. I have a feeling that it won't be as adequate for college-level calculus, but the graphing calculator I use (TI-82) is less intuitive and more cumbersome. For $25, the TI-36X should be good for five years of math through trig and statistics. It's the standard too. Most teachers are familiar with its layout, as opposed to the more obscure Casios.
