5Best calc out there for the bucks.Sep 02, 2008
By Joe Tech
This is the best graphing calculator you can buy for under $100, period. I teach mathematics, and have used everything you can imagine, from TI to HP to Sharp and Canon, and this is the fastest sub-$100 graphing calc out there, nearly twice as fast to draw functions as the TI 84, which runs at least $20 more ($35 more at educational prices). It is also faster than my first generation TI89, and unlike the TI89, is legal to be used for ACT and SAT tests.
The menu navigation takes a few minutes to learn, but then it is easy, and much faster to do most things, compared to the TI and other calcs. For instance, it takes four button presses to find the zeroes of a quadratic, rather than the nine (or more) it takes on a TI.

The USB port means you can use it to write to a computer screen with the downloadable software, as well as use the computer to write to the calc; (you must supply the USB cable), and you can also hook to other Casios with the included non-USB wire.
The manual is online, or in a CD included with the calculators I bought. (is that still true?)
The screen isn't the best around, but is plenty good enough for my 45 year old eyes.
If you want a calc that will get you through anything from Algebra to Calculus and beyond, this is the one.

5CASIO fx-9860G - my kids' choice, at least through high schoolApr 13, 2010
By A. Dent "Aragorn"
Since the comparison with the leading brand can't be avoided, I will begin with it.

I found the CASIO fx-9860G to be comparable in features with the TI-83/84 series for about half the price. CASIO's menu-driven interface makes it easier to learn. However, the TI calculators have the advantage of being the de facto standard in most schools/colleges. After playing trying out a borrowed TI-83, kids demanded that their graphing calculator be a CASIO. In fairness, their decision might have been biased by their already using CASIO scientific calculators.


BRIEF OVERVIEW

The fx-9860G features a relatively large 7"x3.5" body that allows for a decent 3"x2" display - 21 characters by 8 lines with the bottom line usually occupied by soft function keys options.

The wide body allows for the keys to be comfortably spaced. Most keys can perform 3 functions via the SHIFT and ALPHA buttons. The 6 functions keys are assigned to various options that change as the context changes. These, combined with the ability to make menu selections or navigate a graph with the arrow keys allow for a tremendous flexibility and richness of features.

The calculator is programmable, can store 'activity' files, can link to a computer via a USB cable and it can connect to other CASIO calculators via a special cable. It is powered by 4 AAA batteries. In addition, there is a sealed coin-size backup battery to ensure that settings and memory contents aren't lost when the AAA batteries are replaced.

The CD has the 590-page manual as a .pdf and CASIO's link software that allows interfacing with a computer via the USB.


FEATURES

I will take some space listing them because this is the kind of information I sought before buying the calculator. Please skip over if not interested.

The following can be accessed via the main menu. I won't do much beyond listing the features because I didn't explore everything yet and it would be a lot of writing if I was going into details. Besides, all is fully covered in the manual - it can be downloaded prior to purchase.

- MATH - It's the first menu choice and this is where most of the 'scientific calculator' features are found. This is where arithmetic, trigonometric functions, logarithms, exponentiations and so on can be performed. As expected, the calculator supports parentheses, fractions, even operations with matrices.
- LIST FUNCTIONS - Allows the storage of up to 26 lists in a file and up to 6 files can be stored in memory. They can be used for statistical calculations, graphing or arithmetic.
- eACTIVITIES - Will allow the instructor to provide a file that includes text, math expressions, calculations and graphics for the student to interact with.
- SPREADSHEET - Is what it implies. I personally prefer Excel on my laptop.
- GRAPHING - Extremely versatile, from simple graphs to extremely sophisticated. Should support a student from high school all the way through college.
- DYNAMIC GRAPHING - Does just that. You can take a graph and animate it by specifying a range of values for your variables.
- TABLE - Can input and graph several functions.
- RECURSION - Label describes it. Haven't tried this yet.
- CONICS - I counted 9 types of equations supported.
- EQUATIONS - Supports simultaneous with up to 6 unknowns, polynomial to 3d degree.
- FINANCIAL - 7 types of functions such as simple and compound interest, amortization, or days calculation.
- PROGRAMMING - Is well documented in the manual.

And, speaking of manual, I found it to be well organized. The quick start section can be completed in a couple of hours or less and provides for basic familiarity with the calculator and gives the new user a brief overview of the calculator's capability. Subsequent chapters provide in-depth coverage of all features.


CONCLUSION AND EVALUATION

I expect my kids to use this model at least through high school - they are 7th and 8th grade now and just completed Algebra 1, getting ready for Algebra 2 next year. So far, they seem to be comfortable using it and we haven't found any situation where when a calculator was needed this one couldn't do the job.

The calculator is easy to operate, thanks to the good keys layout, large display and well-written manual.

While some of the features - spreadsheet, financial - aren't likely to be used much, most of the features are needed and they are well supported.

Given the above and marking the low price as another plus, this CASIO deserves its 5 stars.

5Great calculatorNov 06, 2009
By David
Bought this for stats classes and its excellent. I like it more than my old (now broken) TI-83. Learning to use all of the functions effectively and efficiently takes some effort, but in my experience all calculators like this do.

4dont know all the good stuff yetOct 27, 2007
By Priscilla Dickson
I have this product and it seems good so far though i can't really use all the stuff yet , it certainly helped me in my stats midterm. I'm just worried that it might be problem since my school is so TI83/84 based, but i wasn't dropping that kind of money for one. This is just as good, just learn the manual
