Scientific Calculators

[ABSF]

Hi guys, Which type of calculators were you using in your Uni days (Brand and Model please)?

I have downloaded the HP48 emulator and found it very interesting.

Things have really changed a lot these days.... My son just bought a TI-84 for rm500 in his first year Uni in Swinburne, Kg.

Only in exams they might not allow programmable sci. calculator. But one can free to use these on study times. These are very good for learning.

You can do a lot of things, from figuring out how a curve looks like, to doing some statistics in a push of an enter button.

I plan to buy one of these but I'm saving for an oscilloscope.

A scope would cost you in thousands but a prog. sci. calculator only in hundreds.

Why not just try on an emulator first...

I can show you which one cost a sub-1500 ringgit one. It's one of the cheaper Rigol oscilloscopes which has the sampling frequency of 50MHz. Very good for almost all simple to intermediate benchwork, and has a mini-spectrum analyzer.

Unless if you are dealing with very high frequencies, this one is good enough.
