Digital camera Review: The greatest business calculator
Summary: 5 Stars
Programing become easy to me(Studip of programing) to slove the problem by 'Solve' function. so that I throw my Casio FC-200 into rubbish bin after i use HP17BII.Digital camera Review: The most competent financial calculator
Summary: 5 Stars
The HP-17ii is the most intuitively clear financial calculator I have ever seen or used.I have been teaching finance for undergraduate and graduate students for a number of years. This calculator, although expensive, is the best of the bunch. I have used HP-12C and HP-18, a wide variety of (poorly constructed) TI calculators, but I have not found a more apt, easy to use, intuitive calculator than the HP-17ii. My graduate students find it very useful and easy to use. For them the RPN is not a problem.
While the 12C is considered the "industry standard", it is very difficult to use; it is an old platform and slow. The [$] price difference is well worth it. Although the HP-17ii is widely used in the investment business, it cannot be used on the AIMR administered CFA exams. This is a consideration.
The only problem I have is the price; it is not entirely possible to ask undergraduate students at a public institution to fork out [$]. In my undergraduate classes I use the HP-10.
Digital camera Review: This calculator is NOT allowed by AIMR !
Summary: 4 Stars
Contrary to several reviews espousing this calculator and simultaneously mentioning the CFA exams, as of this past year the 17BII is NO LONGER allowed for use in the CFA exams. This may be a wonderful calculator, and I am thinking of buying one for other purposes, but if you plan to buy one for use in the CFA program, do NOT buy this calculator - buy the TI BAIIPlus or the HP-12C (the latter is my favorite).Digital camera Review: This is a great financial calculator

I've had one of these since 1992 and I love it. I just came across this site when I thought I had lost mine and I was freaking out wondering how I'd get by without it.I'm a little surprised that it hasn't dropped in price over the years and I'd like it if it had a rolodex-type function, but you can sort of get that by storing addresses and numbers as functions.
The financial functions rock, as does the solve menu. The menu-driven format is also neat, as it saves on clutter on the keypad.

This is the best calculator that I have ever used. I acquired it immediately prior to purchasing a car. The loan calculation function allowed me to compare and contrast the different loan packages, interest rates, length of loan and other variables.
Want to know how much your 401 (k) will be worth when you are 59½ years old? You can select a financial calculation that will let you insert the present value, monthly contribution and years to retirement. You can then determine the dollar value assuming a return of 5%, 6%, 7% and so on.
The inherent power and financial tools available in this calculator will pay for itself in a very short while. The soft cover paperback manual easily and throughly explanes all financial functions and can be read in less then 3 hours.
Why hire an accountant or MBA when you can do it yourself?
