Texas InstrumentsSCHULRECHNER TI-30X Plus MATHPRINT

Possibly the best calculator ever created. I loved it so much that when my first one was stolen (it's hard to even blame them, it's a perfect calculator) and I no longer NEEDED a pocket calculator, I reminisced about this one often enough my fiancé replaced it for me.The screen is like the newer TI-84 calculators, glass, super crisp display. What makes it an absolute GOAT on test taking is that you can scroll like the newer TI-84 calculators, and re-select old solutions or entries (even 12ish lines up, probably more) saving a ton of time re-entering numbers while also elimination most potential rounding errors. I highly recommend using it daily so when you get to a fast paced test, you're already best friends.Why does Texes Instruments not sell their BEST calculator in the United States? Strong side eye. But it is worth the price of shipping it here. Absolutely.Is it also slim and light? Slim for sure, a little heavier than most basic calculators... but if you're actually doing semi-serious math this thing calculates FAST. It feels like... what a calculator would be if it was built to be amazing and not to be highly profitable in an unchecked capitalist society. I'm talking cast iron pan but sleek, it is lighter than a graphing calculator. The case is not my favorite, but a sock works fine too, or sew your own!What makes it not a graphing calculator? I'm still not entirely sure. But you can use it on all tests I have encountered that don't allow graphing calculators in math and chemistry. And it's solar powered?!?It's amazing.

Helps understand higher math.

The one I received doesn't have a few of the functions of the latest version - like the polynomial solver or solving for integrals. other than that it's good.
