Digital camera reviews of Texas Instruments Voyage 200 Calculator
Digital camera Review: Best Damn Calculator Ever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If anyone shows me a calculator who can take more than the 500th power of 2 without scientific notation and rounding -whole number displayed - i will buy that calculator.And the Voyage can pass that, depends on memory available. This thing insane to say the least. Do not buy it unless you are a math or physics or related major. Its over kill for trig or algebra. This thing does miracle in my labs for both chem and physics; and in multivariable calculus and differential equations and linear algebra courses it will give you what no book can: answers to every problem. It is so easy to check yourself with this. Thats why its called PLT- Personal Learning Tool. It has everything. The fact that it is a TI and succesor to the 92 Plus speaks for itself. Any HP is a spec of dust compared to this. I should point out that the Voyage 200 is an upgrade on the 92 plus. Thats why theres no printed manual. Uses same manual as TI 89. But if you go to [websit]you will find alot of stuff on using it.
Digital camera Review: Best calculator ever made
Summary: 5 Stars
I must confess that I own the TI-92 Plus, which lacks the on screen icons. However, I understand that they are otherwise the same. I own both the TI 83 and the TI-89, and this is far better.The 89 requires the Alpha key to enter text, a real pain. Plus, the 89 has 2-3 color codes per key, making it hard to read. The 92-Plus, and the 200 Voyager, eliminate that hassle for ease of entry and use. It is true that it is much larger, but so what? I have used it to actually try to learn math, and it has been very rewarding for me, eliminating drudgery. One other note of interest: this CAS program was originally written by the guys who wrote the Derive math program, a fabulous math tool. Texas Instruments purchased the company and now uses it in the TI series of calculators. Highly, highly, recommended.Digital camera Review: Best calculator on the market
Summary: 5 Stars
With large screen and QWERTY keyboard this calculator should be located in category of computers, but with size and price of calculators. QWERTY keyboard is essential if you want to do programming - doing this on multi-function keyboard of TI-89 is close to impossible, and PC tools that TI provides for programming are outdated and primitive.
Screen is the largest among calculators available on the market, with very good resolution and contrast. Be aware that size and weight are such that this device is rather desktop than pocket one. But... who needs to compute eigenvalues of a matrix when riding a subway?
I own practically all models manufactured by HP, TI, Casio and Sharp (including some highly historical items; I have such crazy hobby :), but this one is THE BEST
Digital camera Review: Best calculator when you are on move
Summary: 5 Stars
I had long been an HP fan but Voyage change my perception about TI. When you use graphing calculator you don't need RPN notation. Voyage is one of the best calculator, with its large LCD screen and Qwerty keyboard you have much ease of entering any equation and it appears in the text book form. It does 2D polar plots, parametric plots, Direction fields and can plot in 3D besides solving differential equations of 1st and 2nd order. However its better to use Maple or Mathematica for 3D plots as they are much faster. It also has preloaded Statistics Package so it can do things like Hypothesis testing fot z test, t test, two sample test, chi square, Anova etc. An engineering package for Osculating circles, Rienmann sum, Curl, Divergence etc is also there, though I didn't find it of much help. However it has better algorithm than maple and mathematica for Double and Triple Integrals. If you are taking linear algebra then you can do things like eigen vectors and LU decomposition too, and with programming you can get Jacobian forms also. Good for Calc-I-II-III, Advanced Calculus and Dfeq.Upgrading software is a breeze with link cable and you have a access to a good application programs from TI to suit your need. Overall the calculator is neat, very intutive. It comes with a thin manual because you really don't need it. For other stuff you can visit their website or use the CD to look for any specific functionDigital camera Review: Better than HP49G and HP 48GX
Summary: 5 Stars
I own TI Voyage 200, HP 49G, and HP 48GX. HP 48GX comes with a very good equation library. Operation is OK. Not very difficult to learn. Plug-in hardware card is a plus because you won't delete purchased software accidently. Overall, HP 48GX is good but is a little bit old in this modern world.
HP 49G has no equation library. Very difficult to learn and use. Insufficient of manuals, books, and resources. Calculation and graphing are often slower than Voyage 200 for the same problems. The answers to polynomial sometimes look like 0.9999998 but the Voyage 200 gives 1. Some people say HP 49G is the most powerful graphing calculator in the world. As an owner, I would say I don't know. Be aware, HP discontinued their research and development of graphing calculators sometime ago.
TI Voyage 200 is the best. Bigger and better resolution viewer screen. Computer-like keyborad saves your time and efforts that compares to ALPHA ALPHA *****. The keyboard layout also avoids mistakes. Comes with many pre-loaded applications and you can download and transfer more by yourself. Very easy to learn, I did not spend too much effort and feel I can handle this calculator. Plenty of instruction manuals, books, and resources that are compatible to TI 92 Plus and TI-89. It is a pleasure to own and use Voyage 200.
