It's a great tool, especially for college students. It has some very helpful calculus functions, and is perfect for classes like chemistry when graphing sets of data. It's a little pricey, but a wise investment all the same. I recommend this product over the TI-83 because it has over double the memory capacity, and has more calculus applications available. It is a little bit more expensive, but in this case, you definitely get what you pay for. Accessories, such as downloadable programs, faceplates, and slide covers are available for order through the Texas Instruments website, which is very helpful. I got bored and decorated my calculator, as shown in the picture.

purchased this for my children to use as they advanced to higher levels of math. we chose this one because of the price. it has been exactly what they needed and a great product!! we all know that these types of calculators can be very expensive, the price on this is amazing!! #Parent2ParentContest

I bought this calculator for my College Algebra class and used it all the way up through Pre-Calculus and on through Calculus 3. I never needed to buy another calculator throughout my whole college career. I would spend the few extra bucks on this calculator and ensure that you'll get plenty of use out of it through all your courses.

This is an awsome calculator as far as I have used it for which is statistics. The calculator as a wonderful screen and multiple functions that I haven't even learned yet. My friend has the newest version Ti-84 Plus CE and I say that they are pretty much the same as far as I can tell. So all in all its a great but if you need it for stats and higher math level courses.

Bought one for my son three years ago. Knew this day was coming for my daughter. They'll use them through college at the very least. So it's actually a very worthwhile investment when you factor in once you purchase it, you're done! For my daughter's calculator online purchase, I opened a Walmart MasterCard to take advantage of a twenty-five dollar promo offer. And also, because anything can happen when dealing with young teenagers, I opted for the $8 2 year protection plan as well.

I am so deficient in math, especially Algebra. However, this calculator is a lifesaver! It is helping me in areas that I struggle with. I recommend it, especially for people like me with no math skills. The TI 84-Plus Silver Edition is a great investment.

The calculator works well for my daughters algebra 2 class but she is going to need a more advanced one for pre-cal. So before you buy this one make sure your child will be able to use it for the following year. Other than that the calculator works great.

I really like that you get to save when you buy this calculator at Walmart. It's $88 here compared to almost $100 or even more at Best Buy and other outlets. For the same quality of product, the price here is very friendly to student budgets. Also it's nice to discover that Texas Instruments calculators are primarily made in the Philippines - good partnership, consistently high standards, very proud of where I'm from. Keep it up Walmart!

This was purchased as a gift for my granddaughter and was recommended by her advanced placement math, chemistry and physics instructors. We purchased the same one for another granddaughter while she was in high school. She is currently a senior in college and she has used it for all her college math, science and statistics classes. A worthwhile investment.

Whatever great features this calculator has are eclipsed by its flimsy lightweight plastic construction and poor hard cover design that fits loosely over screen. Convoluted user interface. The only compelling reason I find to purchase this unit is the fact that many schools blindly mandate its use.
