I'm a college Chemistry professor, my students have to take a national exam that doesn't allow programmable calculators. The TI30XA is the answer. It does everything they need it to do and easily, plus it's far more durable than their TI83s. It's also less expensive and it is easier to use. Students sometimes complain about the 30XA when the are so use to their 83 but once the realize they don't have to delve through layers of menus to do common things they stop complaining and become fans.

This model is not TIs best. The buttons are a little to close together, which makes quick computations difficult. Plus the battery eventually wears out and needs to be replaced which is difficlut. It also does not have a two-line screen to confirm that you typed in the correct sequence. I would suggest upgrading to the TI-30X IIS which has the added feature of a two-line screen and solar power and more space on the keypad.

When i accidently broke my last calculator, I liked it so much I bought the same model again. It has trig functions which I use and all the functions I could ever use. Very good display, reliable, quality product. And all for a low price.
