What is the favourite or best Scientific calculator use by NA and designer?

[westlawn5554X]

I found this powerful calculator very useful, it can split screen for graph and do almost everything including finacial calculation. The big plus is you can use your 1 gig SD memory card to store your computation and formular.

Looks expensive. USB inteface on a calcuator? Whatever floats your boat... got a model # for us?

[westlawn5554X]

This calculator work on batteries, have external electric cable hole, USB cable included, SD memory slot without a card.

The model is CASIO fx- 9860G SD.Price I bought at around US$90. check it out internet google.

I have just bought this a month ago for my studies and still playing with it. I am hooked to its financial capabalitity to count cost and bank, with preprogrammed equation.

It has two version, fx- 9860G without SD but faster, fx- 9860G SD with ext. memory .

Westlawn,

You told me u were broke buying all your stuff, i understand now, although the CASIO fx-9860G SD really was a bargain (where did you finnd it for that price?) You obviously own a computer and could have saved yourself this expence (see No3 reply in this post).

Yes, when your at the drafting table or out on a cafe table discussion and fight on the size of the boat do you bring a notebk or a calculator? I imagine I will have field work and project later on with my CASIO brain.

I was searching for HP outlet and found a CASIO instead, the market is like 9:1 over Casio : HP. I look for the type with the memory freedom model.

I dont know European market. Try the biggest shop you can find that is not in a MALL.

Yup. Calculator's dead useless without the knowledge that tells you what to put into it, and what to make of what it spits out.
