I like TI...but I don't want overkill. Taking college Algebra now and will take Trig next semester. Is this TI-NspireTM Graphing Calculator over-kill?

I would say no, you would have what you need plus extra! But I was using it for Stats so I will defer to others!

I really like the calculator it does almost anything it may look complicated but once you get use to it its a pieceof cake. It's my favorite calculator and I recommend it since it does anything. It's a good choice

No, this one links from one calculator to another. The one that connects to the computer (through USB) looks like this. http://www.amazon.com/Texas-Instruments-94327-Graphlink-USB/dp/B00006BXBS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393361764&sr=8-1&keywords=ti+83+usb+connectivity

YES!!!! CAS is integrated into the OS. Great for multivariable calculations. Best calculator I've ever had!

Any Casio fx115 series calculator would be very good through college, and I recommend it for this reason. They can stick with this calculator through college and after when they take the PE (processional engineering) exam as this is on their list of allowed calculators. This way they will always be familiar with it and its operations.

Here you go, this is the best answer I could find - http://education.ti.com/en/us/product-resources/graphing_course_comparision

Yes, the school my children go to ask specifally for this calculator. My son used his through 6th grade and now will be for 7th. I had to purchase another one due to another child going into 6th grade this year! My soon to be 7th grader said it is a great calculator.

It is not a graphing calculator. It can solve equations, integrate, and differentiate, however it does not have a differential equation solver like the high end graphing calculators do. If you are taking a diffeq course I can tell you first hand that you will not need a graphing calculator for anything, or a diffeq solver . I highly recommend this calculator.

Easily. Most people don't use these calculators to their full capacity. The other model is nicer to look at and probably a tad easier to use. Both should have the same capabilities.

Yea it can since the titanium was featured with the ti84 this is the latest calculator that ti has integrated all the features with. I reccommed u buy from somewhere else besides courtland books i wasnt able to do any of those things bc of what i wrote in my review

This cable is strictly calculator to calculator. You want the Ti- 83/84 usb cable for computer connection. This cable its handy if your instructor has programs they want you to use.

Sorry for the late reply, I got the calc for my son. He said that the battery lasts a long time. His is still full, and has been practicing quite a bit this summer.

I think it'll transfer programs as well. I used it on a friend's Ti-89 Platinum to transfer all my apps to her calculator and it worked fine. You can select what you want to transfer.

well, if you shop around at the same places it really doesn't sell for less in the real market, it sells for about the same, but the main reason, just like why the ti-83 sells for way above what it should be selling for considering the software is like 10 yrs old or even older, is that ti has their foot planted solidly in the college market, which in my opinion is really corrupt, because these colleges only use the ti's in the math classes, you can use other graphing calc's like casio, which are just as good, but the schools don't support or give instructions using these other calcs, which they should be, talk about corrupt, wow. the ti-84-C calc is the same as the silver except it has a color screen which is really nice, now don't get me wrong, this ti is nice, and I like it, and this is the calc that you can get all the programming info off the web to program it, the casio fx cg10 is every bit as nice if not nicer (a few extra's on it, and also a color screen) and priced at the same if not cheaper, which you can also use in the colleges, so if you understand calculators you'd be fine buying one of the casio's, either way, they're both great, and I have the three of the casio's calc's and three of the ti's, I kind of collect them, I guess, like a golfer collects golf clubs.............LOL. I even have the HP calc, but you really don't want to buy this calc for school, it's all business and you really do have to fully understand graphing calculators to use the HP graphing calc.

Casio is much more intuitive Find Ti relatively clumsy. However many courses are wedded to Ti. Ti is a little faster but you would need to be very impatient to notice. Have a look at HP prime, lightning fast, cheaper, more powerful but not really tailored so well to education as the other two are and a steeper learning curve.

No. Actually, I returned this calculator (it's obsolete) and bought TI-89 Titanium. In reality, its the manual is a good help. The new Titanium has no manual, even online you can not get any manual. However, as you know, there are good books about it.

Play the YouTube video, TI-Nspire CX CAS Algebra overview. The TI-Nspire CX CAS inputs and displays math as it appears in your textbook. If you have trouble with Math this is the calculator to buy. The link is http://youtu.be/vxooBetzvvc This is the guide, Ti-NspireTM Guide Algebra Fundamentals: TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS Revealed and Extended (TI-Nspire Innovation in Education Series Book 1) used in the YouTube video.

Yes it does. My fiance, whom the calculator was purchased for loves it! He used it in his pre calculus and chemistry classes and will be using it in the successor classes of each. He feels you would very much like this calculator.
