I have been using the TI-83 Plus for almost three years now. It has been my companion throughout almost all of my high school math and science classes. Believe me, if you go to high school in New York State, or anywhere for that matter, it is an absolute must-have.
In my school, just about everyone has one. This calculator has so many functions, I am still not completely sure of its true capabilities. It's a good thing the math teachers teach us tricks for applying the calculator to whatever we are doing in class. If the teachers in your school are not as nice, just refer to the very large manual that comes with it.
Unless you loose the calculator, it will faithfully take you through high school math, and is also useful for Physics and Chemistry. The added applications such as the Science Tools program and the Periodic table are very useful. The calculator can become a black and white gaming device, which is extremely useful for keeping one awake during one of those boring days in Physics. For games and applications, visit ticalc.org and buy the cheap "Graph Link" cable to hook the calculator up to your computer. If you buy the link, don't make the same mistake I made, be sure to plug it into the serial port when the computer is turned OFF!
To parents everywhere - the price of this calculator is a bargain for what you get.Get more detail about Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator.
