Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for students at every level, from junior high school algebra to college calculus, the Texas Instruments TI36 packs a lot of punch in a small, inexpensive unit. This solar-powered calculator combines features for statistical analysis, Boolean logic operations, and unit conversions in one sleek package.
Math students will appreciate TI36X's ability to perform fractional equations and calculate angle units (radians, grads, degrees) when performing trigonometric functions. Everyone will find the calculator's English/metric conversions helpful.
The TI36Xs single-line LCD is a little difficult to read when the unit is lying on a desk, and users in need of graphing functions will have to look elsewhere. Overall, however, for a calculator in this price range, the TI36X provides enough power for most high-level math and science needs.

I'm a research scientist. I started using a slide rule in high school about 1947, a computer in 1958, and scientific calculators some time in the early 1970s. Despite the power of computers I still like to have ready access to a good calculator, and my favorite brand (for versatility and ease of use) is Texas Instruments. The TI36X especially impresses me. It is a very powerful, very user-friendly scientific calculator for less than [price]. It performs virtually all scientific functions plus basic statistics and linear regressions and is light-powered in virtually any light. In my view, this is an incredible bargain. In fact, although I already have Texas Instruments calculators in my bedroom, den, living room, and at work, I couldn't resist the TI36X and bought one. It's a terrific calculator! If you don't need graphing capability, I highly recommend this powerful bargain calculator.

As one of the "official seven" calculators now allowed on the PE exam, this inexpensive calculator was all I needed (civil exam, anyway). As a former die-hard HP fan, it took some retraining to "un-RPN" my fingers, but lots of practice problems using the calculator that I would be using on the test and I was OK. The display is clear and readable, the solar panel powers the calculator with just the light from a computer monitor. Bottom line: a good calculator and a great value.

In terms of price and features, this is a nice scientific calculator. The layout of the functions is quite apt. I like the case design and the cover. It has only a one-line display but I can live with that. The purple text used to label the functions activated by the "3rd" key is admittedly a little hard to read.
However, consider this calculation and its result:
(262144 * 4096) - (2^18 * 2^12) = -0.01
The correct answer, obviously, is 0. That may be a silly calculation to perform, but I actually did this once as a check.
TI's support - via email - suggests that this is a normal rounding error. I am not sure that this is acceptable in a calculator of this class. The size of the operands doesn't seem unreasonably large.
If it were not for that, I would give the calculator 4 stars. It's really too bad because I like the layout of this calculator MUCH better than that of the Casio. But I worry about getting other errors that won't be immediately obvious to me.
I can't prove one or the other how likely this rounding error is to happen in "typical" calculations.

Suits the purpose
Scientific calculator. Meets needs of my son's class and is on the acceptable calculator list for the ACT and SAT. Worth the price.
