I teach HS Math here in the states and I'd never used a Casio calculator until I picked this exact model up on a whim a month ago. So glad I did. I love the thing, and I started recommending it to my students. At $20, it renders their school-required TI-8Xs pretty much obsolete (except for graphing). Only thing I hate are the slippery plastic feet.

You are definitely right as well, having a calculator at hand beats phones and laptops anyday. I guess coming from an engineering / math teacher that's not news :)

In Germany, we have the FX-991DE X model, which has a few more functions and is available for 3 years now, I think. It costs about AUD$25 locally. I love this thing and use it every day. But as you said, it would be verry nice to have the engineer symbols right on the numeric pad.

I was confused when he said it was all new because i had the dex for a long time and i love it but i don't like the layout as much as on my old ti 30x, especially having to use shift for recall and pi. Also that it doesn't have persistent history memory. Still, it's unbeatable for 20€

I still love my fx-991ES PLUS from 2010 ... I have the fx-82ES as well. But my fx-991ES has served me well through out school, A-levels and university. Funnily in my honours (graduate) year I was using both and Matlab in an exam (we were allowed to due to the number of calculations we had to do). The irony of using an old school calculator + computer software together because Im faster on a Casio than coding it all up

Computer Engineering student. Needed a calculator that could natively do complex/imaginary arithmetic for my AC circuit analysis class and this thing saved my bacon! Fantastic calculator. Likely even allowed on FE/PE exams (the exams you have to take in the US if you want an engineering license to work as a standalone engineer) since the Casio requirements are just "FX-115 or FX-991 in the model name". Only complaint is rare glare at certain angles, and it slides off angled surfaces way too easily since the standoffs molded into the lid and base are just smooth plastic.

I just bought this calculator recently. I am a die hard Sharp calculator user but everyone in my class at college seems to be buying the 991EX so I decided to purchase one to play about with and see what the fuss is about. Straight out of the box I don't like how the slide on cover fits over the front of the calculator when you would be putting in your bag or whatever it seems to stick out a bit. I also really hate the way it does not retain previous calculations after you turn the calculator off or hit the "on" button while using it, it just wipes all your previous calculations. That is what I love about the Sharp. It will retain previous calculations for ages, one time I didn't use my calculator for 2 weeks and my previous calculations were still on it when I went back. I will still use this Casio from time to time and I might grow to like it.

I have been using this calculator for quite some time now and it is a great calculator. It's not a HP in build quality but for the money you can't beat it. One thing to be aware of is a trap that many calculators have, this one included. Doing something as simple as 6 divided by 2 times the sum of 2+1 you can end up with two different answers depending how you input it into the calculator. Input as 6÷2(2+1) you get the incorrect answer of 1. Input as 6÷2x(2+1) gives the correct answer of 9. Input this either way in another calculator like say a HP35S and it gives the correct answer of 9 both times. Just something to be aware/cautious of when using some calculators. This is something I check on every calculator I buy so I don'g get caught in the trap.
@ge484216 жыл бұрын
MikesRadioRepair Casio consistently treats an implicit multiplication differently from an explicit one. 2/3x is treated as 2/(3x), and 2/3*x is treated as (2/3)*x. The fx991ex will rewrite the expression to make this clear. The Casio graphical calculators do exactly the same thing. The HP Prime acts differently but it does rewrite the screen to make that obvious. The HP35s does not accept this type of expression in algebraic mode. BTW: the build quality of HP calculators isn’t what it used to be. Which, considering the current price levels, is not that surprising. The original HP35 went for $395 in 1970 (about $2400 in today’s money) The current HP35s goes for $60.

Available in Norway, has been for at least a year. Standard at my school, and I like it, not as much as i like my old ti-84plus , but the equation is so much easier on this one.

Needs to be hold in the hand to show a good image.

But does it have functions for ohms law calculation and other electronics formulas or do you still have to calculate them manually? I have electronics applications (electrodroid for example) on my phone and tablet but a dedicated device with real buttons that has the same or similar features/functions would be much faster to use. Its instant on and I wouldn't need to load an application.

Yeah, one thing worth noting operation input order. My old casio fx-10F (older than I am, 30 years going strong) uses reverse polish notation (RPN) the fx-991EX uses PN instead. You can either get: - used to it - a new one you decide. Just gotta get used to it. My friend complained for days about his RPN calculator.
@okaro65952 жыл бұрын
Neither RPN or PN. In RPN you calculate 1+2 by pressing 1 enter 2 +. Sure with functions modern calculators put the function before the operand. There are cases+ where the older system where one has always one number visible an then does calculations to it is better but overall the formula entry is better. If you eant to take a square root of the value on the display instead of just square root, you enter square root, Ans, =. In the line-io mode it is enough to enter square root =.
