TI's newest and most advanced scientific calculator features a
high-quality MultiView™ display and MathPrint™ capability. Enhanced
math functionality makes the TI-36X Pro scientific calculator ideal
for computer science and engineering courses. It also can be used
in high school and college algebra 1 and 2, geometry, trigonometry,
statistics, pre-calculus, calculus, biology, chemistry, physics or
in classes where graphing calculators may not be permitted.
One of the many new features available on the TI-36X Pro
scientific calculator is the ability for users to select among
three mathematical problem solvers — numeric equation, polynomial,
and system of linear equations. This means students have more tools
for learning and exploring math and science concepts.
The TI-36X Pro scientific calculator enables users to determine
the numeric derivative and integral for real functions. Users also
can readily perform one- and two-variable analysis, and display six
different regression models. The TI-36X Pro scientific calculator
includes a vector and matrix entry window feature similar to the
matrix functionality of graphing calculators. The TI-36 Pro
scientific calculator also can perform complex number
arithmetic.
Users also can choose from nine physical constants that can be
inserted into various windows and an easy-to-use menu that includes
18 Metric/English conversions. The TI-36X Pro scientific calculator
can store real numbers and complex numbers to one of seven
available memory variables. The calculator also includes a toggle
function that allows users to switch between fraction and decimal
formats.
The MultiView display simultaneously renders input and output
calculations on a larger, easier-to-read LCD display screen. The
display screen supports up to four lines with 16 characters on each
line.
MathPrint displays math expressions, symbols, and stacked
fractions in the same formats as those used in textbooks without
adapting to a technical syntax. The TI-36X Pro also features the
ability to scroll through entry lines and edit functions, allowing
students to review input data and make changes in a manner similar
to graphing calculators.
The TI-36X Pro scientific calculator is battery powered with
solar cell assistance to lengthen the battery life. With a slim
profile, it weighs about 5 ounces and measures 7.25 inches tall,
3.3 inches wide, and .75 inches thick.
It is available at most major office supply stores. The
manufacturer's suggested retail price is $25. Retail prices may vary. For more information
