Texas Instruments TI34II Calculator

Texas Instruments TI34II Calculator Review

The first time I took calculus and physics courses, we used slide rules, and the IBM 360 was the standard computer-the first Apple wasn't even a glint in Steven Jobs' eye! In 1971, a fellow graduate student showed up in the lab one day with a "Bomar Brain", a four function handheld electronic calculator that he bought for 5 (the minimum wage was about .25 at the time)! Interestingly, TI made the chips that powered the Bomar Brain.

Things have come a long way! I've been using my Ti-84 for over a year for my math and physics courses, but when I started Differential Equations, the Professor asked that we not use graphing calculators (didn't want to make it TOO easy on us LOL), so I needed something that could handle trig function, natural logs, and fractions. This little beauty fit the bill perfectly, and for the price just can't be beat. The color is ATROCIOUS, but I suppose it's better than "jaundice yellow"! Recommended highly!
