Digital camera reviews of Texas Instruments TI-86 Graphing CalculatorDigital camera Review: A Great Calculator! Summary: 5 Stars
The Ti-86 is a great calculator to have! It's got really powerful functions at a great price. It doesn't have Flash memory like the 83 Plus or silver edition but the 86 doesn't really need it! The 83 plus and silver edition aren't really useful for advanced math and science classes in high school so they,re just a big waste of money. But the 86 is can easily handle those subjects! Overally the Ti-86 is a great calculator!
Summary of Texas Instruments TI-86 Graphing CalculatorDesigned with power users in mind, the TI-86 graphing calculator has all the power and functionality of the popular TI-85 but with significant enhancements aimed at students of college mathematics, engineering, and science. The TI-86 includes a function evaluation table, deep entry recall, seven different graph styles with multiple line and shading options, and slope and direction fields for differential equations. In addition, the TI-86 boasts 96 KB of user-available memory--three times more than the TI-85. There's also a new function evaluation table which shows numeric output for function, polar, parametric, and differential equation modes.

There's also a new function evaluation table which shows numeric output for function, polar, parametric, and differential equation modes.The TI-86 runs with programs designed for the TI-85 and includes all the same matrix features, but with a new matrix editor that allows the user to view and edit matrices in two dimensions. You can also view multiple lists and attach formulas to those lists for automatic computations. A new aspect of the TI-86 is the ability to customize product functionality with machine language programs downloaded from TI's Web site. Besides the strong graphing abilities, the TI-86 also has powerful calculus features like integration, derivatives, minimums, maximums, roots, and arcs. It also supports Z80 assembly language programming. The 64 x 128 high-contrast pixel screen displays eight lines of 21 characters each plus two levels of display menus. With the TI-86, you can link to other TI-86s and TI-85s via the input/output port, and to CBLs, CBRs, and computers. --Dana Van Nest
