wtf why r they excited
wouldnt this calculator mean that no exact value questions can be asked? cus they can just plug into the calculator to get at least 1/3 marks.Average Boreduser

yh. idk exactly what they are excited ab. But im pre sure all the maths teachers I've had since last yr have not stopped obsessing over it.wtf why r they excited

fr frrr how could i even complain i love math
UR excited about FX8200AU - scroll further down the list of approved calculators ... you will find a more powerful and much cheaper model:
TI-30XPlusMathPrint.
It too does exact values, defines functions f(x), g(x), numerical differentiation, normal and binomial distributions ... scientific constants (physics/chemistry), automatic conversions between units ... copy/paste....
Attachments
The fx8200au can do all of those when set up right and has a much nicer, less cramped ui (and not sure if the ti-30x can do custom logs or use the formula sheet values for constants). That is still interesting though, definitely makes the fx8200 seem like less of a leap in terms of what’s allowed
ti-30x can do custom logs as I use to have one but

honestly tho is the fx8200au worth it tho? I'm considering it but idk if its worth it, i don't wanna pay for a calc that might not be *that* useful in the end
im assuming I already have a 100au, if you don’t then it’s definitely worth it for the complex numbers
the main ways that it can help you is saving time and preventing mistakes. if ur not making many mistakes that would be prevented by exact values etc and not running out of time in exams then it’s pretty much just a ‘nice to have’. i personally only really bought it because I managed to get it pretty significantly discounted, I thought it’d be interesting and I can eventually pass it on to my sister and cousins anyway
Yes, TI-30XPlusMathPrint can do custom logs, exact values, define functions ... even approximate integrals if you like.
The TI-30XPlus MathPrint can do measurement conversions, plus it has a stack of scientific constants stored, and it does exact values, defines functions, remembers the data that you enter (lists) and it's cheaper. Officeworks beat any price by 5%, so check out Haines education, get OW to price match and you'll pick up a TI-30XPlusMathPrint for around $37.00.
There is an iphone app that emulates the fx8200 AU. It is called the ClassWiz Calc App Plus.
You just log in with the same login for the web-based one and it looks like this:
This looks much better full screen on the iphone than the web-based version. It works in ipad too. There is also an android version.
There are emulators for the TI-30XB MultiView and TI-30X Plus MathPrint too but as far as I can tell, it’s just for Windows or mac, not iphone and they are not web-based.
Texas Instruments do however have ipad apps for the TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS calculators but not for iphone. They are also available for Windows and mac. Not sure if they have android versions, but if not, there is a way to do it in android anyway with the Firebird app: https://www.intereseducation.com/re...cx-cas-touchpad-on-android-ios-with-firebird/

Although it looks better in the app for fx8200 AU it seems that the app version does not have quite as many options for model selection as in the web-based version. Here is the current model selection in the ClassWiz Calc App Plus:
This may change in the future though.
This may change in the future though.
So what functionalities would you want from the other emulators?
Well as we have already seen, the fx8200 AU, TI-30XB MultiView and TI-30X Plus MathPrint won't do cos(72o) whereas the classpad app does:
The TI-Nspire CX II-T emulator also does it:
One thing I like in TI-Nspire CX II-T which is better than classpad is that it automatically closes parentheses whereas the classpad doesn't.
But the other emulators can do other things too not on the fx8200 AU such as
fx570/991CW can do matrices, spreadsheets (not the same as tables), equations, inequalty, Base-N, Ratio, Math Box
The Home screen actually scrolls like this:
It can do calculus too, however the new models hide this in Calculate ->CATALOG ->Fuct Analysis->Derivative or Integration whereas the older style calculators have a simple button. This is one instance where I much prefer the old-style CASIO calculator keyboard - and it appears that CASIO are quite well aware of this because although almost all the current emulators have the new-style keyboard, they kept one in the old-style, namely the fx-570/991EX which looks like this and you can see how much easier it is to access calculus with button
