![]() ![]() 2-line display is easy to keep up what you are doing (sometimes, people forget previous tasks or calculations. If you don't do matrices, Ti-30XIIS for smaller and no non-sense operation. So I put this on the civil engineering desktop machine, and you should use a workstation for civil engineering when you are at a desk. And I don't think you need to do matrices or complex numbers on the exam. I don't think I would prefer this because I would go for Ti-84/Nspire or HP Prime or do matrices by hand. ![]() The Hewlett Packard calculators listed are not RPN, and are either knockoffs of Casio calculators or financial calculators, and wouldn't really be worth grabbing for an Engineering test. Hewlett Packard are the scientific calculators I use the most often, but mine are all RPN models and are also "programmable" (and the link states that the only allowed calculators are "non-programmable", so I can already tell you that they're not worth bothering with). None of the others listed under Sharp are going to be able to keep up with functionality of the TI-36X Pro. Sharp calculators are my personal favorites for "non-programable" scientific calculators, but the only one I know of in the same class as the FX991 EX and the 36X Pro would be the Sharp EL-W516, and that series isn't listed at all. The FX991 EX would be my first choice over the TI-36X Pro if I were certain that it would be allowed. The FX-991EX would be comparable to the TI-36X Pro and far more user friendly than the TI (in my opinion, I dislike the TI menus), but the current 991EX isn't listed and is updated from the older 991 MS. The Casio FX991MS is on the list, but is the predecessor to the FX991EX. It's not too difficult to use if you are familiar with TI menu systems, and runs about $20 US. ![]() It will basically do everything short of graphing. It will handle vectors, matrices, integration, has built-in constants, and will do linear regressions. Of the calculators listed on the link that I'm familiar with, the TI-36X Pro is the most capable of the bunch. ![]() I am only familiar with "the big 4", Casio, Texas Instraments, Hewlett Packard, and Sharp. ![]()
