CASIO Graphics Calculator FX-9750GII

Product Information

And each selection can only be 3-4 characters wide so there are lots of abbreviations that are hard to understand. It also has the upside of being able to graph lines pretty quickly because the calculator doesn’t have to draw so many pixels.

There are calculators like the TI NSpire CX CAS, that leave it for dead in terms of capability, but CAS calculators are banned for GCSE, most A-Levels, and also by a lot of universities as well. Bigger isn’t always better, particularly when you’re talking about another thing to lug around in your backpack that’s probably already crammed full of books. If that's not enough, you upgraded the operating system to give it a natural display, spreadsheet, document facility and the ability to take powerful add on apps (free of charge) which give it CAS facilities.It doesn’t have a computer algebra system like some of the most expensive graphing calculators (like the TI-Nspire CX CAS, or the HP Prime). While it does lack some of the features that many other graphing calculators these days have, it does a very solid job of hitting all the main functions and capabilities that all graphing calculators should have. Overall, this calculator is so powerful that its use should be banned in GCE exams, but in fact it's approved! So if you are already familiar with BASIC, or you have programmed other calculators, programming this one won’t be too hard to learn how to do.

The fx-9750GII graphs lines about twice as fast as the TI-84 Plus CE (Texas Instruments’ newest TI-84 calculator). Programming is dead easy (the language is similar to BASIC) and with every text character and mathematical symbol available, together with the full range .

Assuming it was allowed in an A-level Maths exam; in many instances, its extra facilities wouldn't compensate for it being slower to use. Whatever the reason, for a calculator that's almost universally adopted by college students, both here and overseas, it's disgusting that Casio haven't put this right! Not the current solar powered model but excellent value for money and came complete with instructions and Casio software DVD ROM.

You'll need a copy of the latest fxRemote, a copy of the latest available fx-9860GII BIOS, the USB cable that connects your calculator to the computer, and finally a relatively fresh set of batteries.The fx-9750GII is an basic graphic calculator, capable of plotting graphs and data charts, calculating probability distributions and matrix arithmetic. The newer model uses a SH4a CPU, has a white case shell, with a deep blue keyboard surround, and is informally known as the fx-9750GII-2.
