Amazon.com Product Description
For students in math and sciences, or for anyone new to graphing calculators, Texas Instruments has created the TI-83 Plus--a powerful, problem-solving tool with features for storing, graphing, and analyzing up to 10 functions. Plus, it displays graphs and evaluates tables on a split screen, allowing you to trace the graph and scroll through table values simultaneously.
The clear, readable display exhibits 12 characters and eight lines, in 64 x 96 pixels on an LCD screen. The TI-83 Plus has a pragmatic key layout and an easy-to-use graphing interface, with a simple programming language for creating conversion programs. The TI-83 Plus stores and analyzes up to 10 matrices combined with data storage in lists containing up to 999 elements per list. You can also solve equations interactively for different variables. With the TI-83 Plus, you can view an equation, its graph, and the coordinates all at one time. Jump from point to point by entering a number. Several useful plot types are available, including scatter, box-and-whisker, XY-line, histogram, and normal probability plots. Advanced statistics and regression analysis, graphical analysis, and data analysis are readily accessed, along with features for calculus, engineering, financial, logarithm, trigonometry, and hyperbolic functions--all crucial tools for advanced analysis. With its clear display and fast processing, the TI-83 Plus incorporates graphing tools for mathematics and science course work, including statistics and finance. Incredibly useful for college boards--PSAT/NMSQT, SAT I, SAT II, Math, IC, and IIC--the TI-83 is essential equipment for advanced placement courses in chemistry, physics, and calculus. The addition of the optional TI-Graph Link (software and cable) allows you to connect the calculator to your computer, permitting the transfer of files and data between machines. The TI-83 is powered by four AAA alkaline batteries and one lithium battery for backup, with an automatic shutoff to save energy. It also comes with a hard slide cover and is supported by a one-year limited warranty. --Barbara Price

 TI What? September 5, 2008
I didn't get no TI 83. The advert says TI 83, but the item is actually TI 85!??! What-a-guan???
 Great Buy September 3, 2008
My daughter needed this calculator for her high school precal class recommended by her teacher; it's not just a caculator it is a computer that will be utilized even in college. Great value - the BEST price!
get a manual September 1, 2008
i recommend getting a manual... b'cuz i bought one, without the manual, and i definitely don't know how to use it... so i suggest u get a manual unless you are a geek! (unless i am too dummy =) )
solid calculator - comparison to others August 24, 2008
I've been using a TI-83+ for about five years. They are solid calculators with an easy-to-understand programming language. They have almost every function you need and are great for just about anything you do in high school.
However, a lot of reviews are ruling out the TI-89, saying it's hard to understand or it has functions you don't need in high school. However, the TI-89 shouldn't be entirely written off for high school math because 1) it can factor for you 2) it can solve equations for you 3) it can calculate derivatives and definite integrals. It can also express things in terms of "x" which the TI-83+ cannot. It's also a lot easier to understand, but it is very different from a TI-83+, so it's mostly just unfamiliar to users of the TI-83+.
The TI-84 and its various incarnations have become more popular for some reason. The main differences are that the TI-84 has between 2 and 3 times the processing speed of the TI-83+ and has a lot more memory. Those two attributes are only useful if you do a lot of programming, and for me the TI-83+ works just fine. The other differences are mostly cosmetic - the TI-84 looks cooler, the interface is cleaned up a little, the buttons are in curved lines rather than straight ones (something I actually find very annoying). However, the two calculators are basically the same in terms of functionality, so it's up to you. I prefer the TI-83+ myself.
If you're considering buying a graphing calculator or a scientific calculator, buy the graphing calculator. It's a lot easier to use and the large screen means you can see past entries really easily. Plus, it's a lot easier to store multiple values.
Anyway, I hope you do the right thing and get your hands on this calculator!
Fine, just fine! July 15, 2008

One of the finest little calculating machines ever developed.
It covers 99% of the common math spectrum, and can stand up to quite a bit of punishment. Mine's been thrown across the room, dropped, stepped on, and had the batteries put in backwards during it's 10 years of service. Still going strong, this calculator is all you need from 6th grade to college graduation.
