smerny Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 They are about the same in price. Which one would be better for me? (and why?) Taking Stats and Computer Science classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 What do you need a calculator for in a computer science course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerny Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 There are many Math classes in the computer science major. What are the differences between these calculators that would be relevant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Well, I don't how your math classes are, but you can get through all math courses here with just a basic scientific calculator (just because there is no reason to calculate e.g. 20! by hand). It's not so much the result, but how you get to the result that matters after all. Â Anyways, TI-89 has CAS and I don't think TI-84 has. I think that's one of the major differences. I have got a TI-89 Titanium, but I rarely use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 the TI-89 is obviously better, as it is "89" whereas the TI-84 is only "84" and 89 is more than 84. I actually did that math in my head, so I don't see how either one of those would be useful IMO .

zq29 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yeah, but does it run Crysis? Â Sorry, I had to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 No but I hear the 89 can run the latest pokemon games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
