Then you can start downloading any of our programs and games (Wow! There’s a lot!) from our libraries to transfer and install them to your calculator. Install it on your computer and grab your GraphLink Connection cable (USB cable) to plug in your calculator. You can make the process of transfering the application to your calculator sweet and simple with Texas Instrument’s handy TI connect software.
Programs written for TI-84 Plus also usableMake math and science easier (and more fun) with free graphing calculator programs and games from. My conclusion is that this TI-84+ is definitely my favorite device, and once you've used this device, you'll never want to go back.
It is also the best Texas Instruments graphing calculator allowed in universities and colleges. The price tag is rather on the high side, but since the device is really sturdy, on top of the 3-year warranty with Coolblue, I wouldn't be put off by that. The device is also a bit heavier than a normal calculator, but I liked that just as much. There is also an I/O (input/output) port, which can be useful for computer scientists.Ī disadvantage of this calculator is that the LCD screen consists of fairly large pixels, which sometimes causes confusion when studying your graphs, but the advantage is that your screen is well readable from all angles. The device is equipped with a USB port, with which you can exchange files between your computer and your TI-84+, or between two calculators.
Although as a student I can strongly advise against it: yes, you can also put games on it, but unfortunately this causes quite a distraction. The apps that you can put on your calculator via the USB port are also handy. The graphing calculator is very user-friendly to, for example, plot functions, determine the intersections of your functions, minimums and maximums, and so on. The device is definitely recommended for students because it has a long battery life, in combination a sturdy design (which has already proven its robustness many times), and the interface of the device is very clear, so you can get away with it quickly. This allows you to learn what you did wrong, adjust certain operations and see what suits you, thus improving your understanding of mathematics. This is impossible with most pocket calculators. You can always review your edit and adjust if necessary. The nice thing about this device is that you have a nice overview of what you want to calculate. When I bought my Texas Instruments 84+ I had little knowledge of mathematics, many years now, and a huge amount of exercises later we have become inseparable. Of course, Coolblue's service also deserves praise, because the delivery time was perfectly respected. The CE-T can now display even more than m'Plus could.
After a week of use every day for at least an hour and a half, I still see a full battery on my screen.įor the Plus I had a written program for discriminant and another and you can transfer this perfectly with the link cable (supplied) from Plus to CE-T. The advantage is that my backpack can now be closed more easily because it is thinner. So you have to pay attention, especially if you were used to the 'Bump' plus. Not only because it is thinner (the Plus got its inspiration from Nokia), but the LCD screen is also more sensitive to scratches, whereas the screen of the Plus was slightly deeper. The only drawback is that the CE-T is a bit more fragile than the Plus. You could already distinguish graphs with the TI-84 Plus by displaying one thicker or in dotted lines, but with the CE-T you can choose a color to distinguish them. Just don't leave your mobile phone on the charger the night before and hang your calculator on it 😄 because you can just feed them with a USB charger. The advantages are that you do not have to walk around with a pack of batteries for an exam. Taking lessons is also simple since you don't have to do anything special to be able to do it on your device. I am especially pleased that the interface is the same, which is of course useful if you have known the device for a long time. Look out!Īfter my TI-84 Plus broke down and it was no longer available, the TI-84 CE-T seemed like a very logical choice to me.
