Overview

A classroom desk or a study table is where this color graphing calculator gets used for algebra, calculus and science. It adds a symbolic math engine and a license for the matching computer software.

Students in advanced courses gain symbolic manipulation along with graphing, which supports deeper work than a basic graphing model. The limitation is exam rules, so check whether your test allows a CAS model.

Who it's for

A high school or college student taking calculus, physics or engineering will use the symbolic tools daily. Courses or tests that ban CAS should be checked first.

Performance notes

The CAS engine handles symbols as well as numbers, so it can solve and simplify equations exactly rather than only approximate them. The color display plots graphs and tables together. The included software mirrors the handheld on a computer for homework and teaching.
