Texas Instruments TI-30XS MultiView Scientific Calculator

This is just what I needed for my accounting class at school. It does all the basic functions I need and it works great. Very suitable for school. It looks just as the pictures show on amazon. The color is great and it is the perfect size to just go straight into my backpack.

This calculator is the absolute GOAT when it comes to engineering programs! As a former engineering student myself, I've been told we needed to use calculators for exams that weren't graphing calculators (because you could download the answers, especially if the calculator was one of the newer models) but something capable of performing scientific calculations.This one fit the bill, and for the incredibly low price that I bought this for, it's an absolute steal and must have for any high-school/college-aged student! It's very versatile in the sense that you can do so many calculations on this thing! It's seriously impressive! Not only that, but the calculator feels high quality and feels sturdy for the price you're paying. The text is also quite big, so you won't have trouble like you normally do when using the smaller calculators. The buttons don't stick and they're very responsive!Overall, this is the GOAT of scientific calculators and I couldn't recommend this enough! 10/10!

Really nice. Helps with my GED classes

The Texas Instruments TI-30XS MultiView is a really good scientific calculator for school. It’s easy to use once you get used to it, and the MultiView screen lets you see multiple calculations at the same time, which makes checking your work much easier. It has all the functions I need for math and science classes, including fractions, exponents, and statistics. The buttons are responsive, the battery lasts a long time, and it’s approved for many standardized tests. Overall, it’s a reliable calculator that’s great for students and definitely worth buying.

This is a good calculator at a good price, BUT you should only buy it if you're required to have this particular model--or if better models are outlawed by your teacher. I will explain that more below:It's dual powered by solar and CR 2032 3V battery, which is nice. I've had mine 5 years and haven't yet had to change the battery. (Changing the battery requires unscrewing the back panel and taking the calculator apart, by the way!While it doesn't have a CAS or graphing capabilities and can't solve systems of equations or evaluate integrals and derivatives, etc.,this is a fairly advanced machine... the data list functions are sophisticated and the multi-view feature is something not often found on calculators at this price point.I use this calculator solely because it is the best calculator approved for actuarial examinations. Outside of the fact that it doesn't have TVM keys like a financial calculator (necessary for 1-2 exams out of the series of 9-10 actuarial exams)... this is, by far, the best calculator that is approved by the SOA.********HOWEVER, if you're looking in this price range and you don't have onerous restrictions on what you're allowed to use, there are calculators at this price point that are definitely superior!*********(1.) For about the exact same price as the TI-30XS MultiView, there is a Casio model (I think it's called ES-115 Plus) that's designed in Japan with way more features, and I think it's easier to use too. It's very direct, with lots of shortcut keys. It manipulates matrices and can transpose and invert and rref to solve linear equations. It also can evaluate derivatives and integrals numerically. Besides graphing, this Casio will do exactly the same things of calculators ten times its cost. It's a FAR superior machine than the MultiView for the same price. Period.(2.) For just $5 more than the MultiView and Casio, you can get the TI-36X Pro. It doesn't have graphing capabilities, but besides graphing, it does just about everything--and more in some cases--than TI's more expensive lineup of calculators (starting at TI 83). The MultiView is maybe good for middle school; whereas, the TI-36X Pro (and the Casio) could reasonably be used throughout high school and college studies and even through graduate mathematics, statistics, and sciences. The 36X Pro isn't as direct or fast as the Casio, but has many menus which can be accessed. You could muck your way through using the TI more than you can with the Casio, imo. There are about 100 stored constants (things like the speed of light, gravitational force, mass of an electron, etc.). There are various built-in probability distributions (binomial, geometric, etc.) It can do unit/dimensional analysis (although entering units is a pain) and it can do conversions too. It's very similar to the Casio I mentioned above. The major differences would be the TI has a lot of menus to access its capabilities and the Casio has shortcut keys. The 36X Pro is also a tad more expensive.

Bought this for my exam. Light-weight, easy to use. Double battery so pretty reliable. “Data” is really nice to use, very efficient. It allows you to solve complicated problems in minutes!! Worth the money! Buttons work well, nice color. Good for school! Pretty small so it fits in any bag.

Daughter needed this for TCAP, since the TI84 isn’t on the approved list. Worked well. Took her some getting used to since she uses the 84plus, but just had to get used to the functions being different.

We require these for school, so I just got the same brand we use. Good quality
