I bought this calculator for My son for the math program at his school. He's had it for two years and it has helped him through geometry, Algebra, and Pre-calculus. The calculator includes everything a good graphing calculator needs, Trigonometric functions, logarthims ( spelling? ), and variable storage, But the beautiful thing about this calculator is that It is programmable. A modified form of the easy to use BASIC programming language is built into the calculator, so writing math programs ( like one that will solve the quadriatic formula ) is a breeze. Games a also easy once you get to know the language. All upper school students should buy this calculator for math classes. I myself find it handy as a mechanical engineer. The only costs are Four AAA batteries and a memory back up lithium battery that need to be replaced yearly assuming moderate use. These calculator are approximately 90 dollars but are worth so much more than that.
