2.0 out of 5 stars Good calculator, but flawed, March 15, 2002

The TI-34II is a good calculator that is easy to use.

Unfortunately, it has one fatal flaw. While it allows numbers to be entered in scientific notation, it doesn't have a feature to show the result of a calulation in scientific notation. With a 10 digit display, it can be hard to figure out if 100000000 is 1 billion or 100 million. Lack of comma's to group digits into 3's also hurts. I ended up buying a CASIO FX-115MS, which does have the scientific notation and comma's.

If the TI had the comma's and scientific notation, it would beat the CASIO hands down for ease of use, and also contruction. I also like the fact that it remembers prior calculations even after auto-powering down. The CASIO forgets after any power down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for middle school level math, April 17, 2006

This review is from: Texas Instruments TI34II Calculator (Office Product)

I have the original TI34 calculator and bought it back in the 6th grade for Pre-Algebra. I'm now a college sophomore and still use it occasionally. This calculator was perfect for Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry and I couldn't have imagined using any other calculator. There was no need for anything more advanced (such as a graphing calculator) in those classes. It is very simple to use and doesn't have too many buttons. In fact, I've never even used half of the buttons that are on it. It is very durable as it has lasted me 9 years of dropping it and spilling drinks on it. It is a must have for any middle school math student.

If you think this calculator is for elementary school kids, you're WRONG. I can't afford a fully flegged graphing calculator yet, so this is my only alternative. It's served me extrodinary through Honors Chemistry and Geometry (especially calculating moles and gas pressures). It's also the calculator that my school has for us in case we don't have a calculator. Overall, this is one of the best calculators you can get for your twenty bucks or so, buy it!
