About this item:
Ideal for curricula in which graphing technology may not be permitted.
Ideal for students at every level, from junior high school algebra to college calculus, the Texas Instruments TI36 packs a lot of punch in a small, inexpensive unit. This solar-powered calculator combines features for statistical analysis, Boolean logic operations, and unit conversions in one sleek package.
Math students will appreciate TI36X's ability to perform fractional equations and calculate angle units (radians, grads, degrees) when performing trigonometric functions. Everyone will find the calculator's English/metric conversions helpful.
The TI36Xs single-line LCD is a little difficult to read when the unit is lying on a desk, and users in need of graphing functions will have to look elsewhere. Overall, however, for a calculator in this price range, the TI36X provides enough power for most high-level math and science needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent function for such a small, inexpensive package.
I bought this calculator for my upcoming FE Exam in October 2013. I have been using it for the past couple of months to get acquainted and to study. When I was in school I used the TI-89 Titanium religiously. Unfortunately that's not permitted on the FE exam so I chose this one. Upon using it I must say that for a non-graphic calculator it's fantastic. The shortcut keys (for exponents, powers of 10, fractions, etc.) are a nice touch. The built in equation solver, polynomial equation solver, system of equation solver certainly shave a lot of time off of my calculations concerning static equilibrium, quadratic equations and circuits. This calculator also does Matrices, up to 3x3 and vectors in three dimensions. It even has popular constants (permittivity, Boltzmann, Ideal Gas, standard atm, etc) built in along with a whole conversion menu. On top of that it does numerical integration and numerical derivatives and plenty of other things I'm probably not going to mention.I consider it to be more user friendly than the TI-89 Titanium because of the shortcut keys and nice interface. For example, to calculate a determinant on the TI-89 you must press 2nd, MATH then scroll to Matrix, then select Det( and press enter. Then you have to remember the syntax which is det([a1, a2, a3][b1, b2, b3][c1, c2, c3]) and finally press enter.On the Ti-36X Pro all you have to do is press 2nd, Matrix and scroll to edit and enter how many columns and rows you want in the specified matrix, press enter and then put in your values. Then once the values are saved you go back to the Matrix menu and select Determinant and put in the name of the matrix where you saved the information. Pretty slick for a smaller calculator.The four line display provides enough room to see what your doing and the text is fairly large which I like. With the bigger calculators you usually have to squint to see some numbers, especially in low-light situations. This calculator also features Mathprint. This means that fractions, integrals and most other mathematical notation shows up as it's supposed to. However if you don't like this there is a feature to turn it off. This is especially useful for when you're calculating something like a parallel resistance circuit and you want to see that big fraction to make sure you didn't make a mistake.Of course no review is complete without listing the gripes. There's not too many problems with this calculator however there are something that really bug me. The first one being that there is no option to toggle "insert" like the TI-89 has. Usually I find myself needed to edit an equation that I just entered. Therefore I have to press second, then insert and put whatever I needed into the equation. Not a big deal but can get annoying at times.Second, I don't like the chrome arithmetic buttons. At times I find myself hitting the subtract button when I wanted to do some addition. However I solved this problem by running a fine-tipped sharpie over the buttons and rubbing off the excess on the surface. Now the symbols have a black color in contrast with the chrome. Much easier to see and I suggest this method if anyone else has this problem.Third, you must press a button multiple times to get what you need. For example say I want to type a complex number (3+5i) on the screen. I press 3, +, 5 and then I have to press the "pi, e, i" key three times just to get the "i" symbol. Can be a bit annoying/frustrating and you might make a mistake if you've had way too much caffeine as I normally do. Although I suppose they had to do this to consolidate space in the design process so I can respect that. Just a little annoying but I guess it comes with the territory. This can add a bit of time to the learning curve if you're not used to these "multipress" buttons.That's basically it. For a non-graphing calculator I give it a 9/10. Comparing budget calculators, I've had the TI-30Xa and the Ti-30XIIS before and this one blows them out of the water obviously, hence the name TI-36X PRO. I've never had a Casio calculator so I can't compare. With this many features and usability at the price of $17 or so it's certainly an exemplary buy. A great budget engineering calculator and certainly the best to use on the FE exam in my opinion. Go with this one!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Calculator!
The calculator was really easy to use. It’s a great value, portable, and it’s functions are berry accurate. It was really helpful in my trig class when I could use its fraction converter to change from fraction to radians which is the main feature I got the calculator for!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great calculator for engineering
Best price overall great bought it since I can’t use my ti 84 in a class and I was happy that it was cheap and does the job
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Engineering Calculator
Like most people, I made the transition to this calculator from a graphing version while prepping for the FE exam. I've since grown to love it! I used it for the FE and PE and now use it every day for work. Between hybrid work schedules and site visits, I've ended up with 3 of these calculators, one to keep in the office, one for home, and one I keep in my bag. I love it's compact size and durability.The calculator packs a lot of punch into a tiny frame. I'm an electrical (MEP) engineer and it does everything I need it for with ease.Great battery life, screen is clear and easy to read in most lighting conditions. If you plan to use it at job sites in low light conditions it can be hard to read but in those situations I either have a pocket flashlight or the calculation is simple enough it can be done easily with a cell phone calculator.Overall it's a fantastic calculator. I highly recommend it to anyone working in the industry or to those gearing up to take the FE or PE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Texas Instruments Quality, Light Weight, Reasonable Price
I bought this calculator when my old machine shop calculator died from being dropped too many times. There are a few things to note about this calculator for this type of calculation. And since I'm a retired mathematics teacher, I know a thing or two about calculators in education.First, this seems like a great choice for use in a machine shop. I need a high quality and durable calculator with trigonometric functions. This calculator is all that and more. The multi-line display is also convenient for seeing a record of previous keystrokes. Its quite a bit lighter than the old graphing calculator I was using, and I'm hoping that will make it more durable--lighter objects hit the floor with less force than heavier ones.This calculator has enough capability for educational use IF you don't need (or are not allowed to use) graphing or computer algebra functions. It is not a graphing calculator. And it won't do computer algebra operations such as solving equations, computing derivatives, etc. It's probably not the best choice for linear algebra (matrices, vectors, ...) or for advanced statistics. But it does have all the numerical functions you would expect to find in a classic scientific calculator.Last note is that this calculator has a snap-on lid instead of the old slide-on style I'm accustomed to (like on the TI-84). It's too early to say whether I like it more or less. Its definitely faster: just clip it on or off. But will it hang-on or survive as well as the old slide-on style if you occasionally drop it on a concrete floor?
