4.0 out of 5 stars
Almost the best calculator ever!, January 19, 2004
This review is from: Sharp EL-531VB Calculator (Office Product)
I have been using a version of this Sharp calculator from early high school all the way up thru a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and now as a professional - it rocks! For science/engineering students, there is none better. It is simple and will do everything you need (almost - see below). Forget about those cumbersome, expensive graphing calculators. Save some money and buy one of these bad boys instead. Graphing calculators are a waste of time - learn how to do it on paper. This calculator deserves 5 stars, but I can only give it 4 because they took away the conversion functions for hexadecimal, octal, and binary numbers - essential for computer science & electrical engineering students. What the heck! Where can I still buy the EL-506? Mine finally broke...
