CASIO Graphics Calculator FX-9750GII

Product Information

Incredibly easy to use: just think about where you'd expect the facility to be and how you'd expect to use it, and there it is! The Casio fx-9750GII has one of the most capable programming interfaces of most graphing calculators.

Upon closer inspection, however, there are some other significant differences to be found between them which I will highlight in this review. Not the current solar powered model but excellent value for money and came complete with instructions and Casio software DVD ROM. From the list screen, you can press the “F2” button (the tab on the screen shows CALC, so this takes you to the calculations options).Its raison d'etre is to get you through the exam with flying colours, and in this respect, it excels. Programming is dead easy (the language is similar to BASIC) and with every text character and mathematical symbol available, together with the full range . This is one of the smaller graphing calculators on the market, but it’s still big enough to see the screen clearly, and the buttons are a nice size as well. The other useful apps include: lists, matrices, dynamic functions, an app for graphing conics, recursion, financial functions, and an app for simultaneous equations and polynomials. The fx-9750GII graphs lines about twice as fast as the TI-84 Plus CE (Texas Instruments’ newest TI-84 calculator).

From the home screen, choose option 2 STAT by either pressing the “2” button or arrowing over to it and pressing the EXE button. In addition, you are unable to install Add-Ins, as the FA-124 software simply won't allow you to install .Bigger isn’t always better, particularly when you’re talking about another thing to lug around in your backpack that’s probably already crammed full of books. Assuming it was allowed in an A-level Maths exam; in many instances, its extra facilities wouldn't compensate for it being slower to use. And each selection can only be 3-4 characters wide so there are lots of abbreviations that are hard to understand. You’ll find simple easy to use apps for things like lists, graphing, tables, conic sections, and a handful more.
