Product Description
Product Description
Ideal for curricula in which graphing technology may not be permitted.
Amazon.com
Ideal for students at every level, from junior high school algebra to college calculus, the Texas Instruments TI36 packs a lot of punch in a small, inexpensive unit. This solar-powered calculator combines features for statistical analysis, Boolean logic operations, and unit conversions in one sleek package.
Math students will appreciate TI36X's ability to perform fractional equations and calculate angle units (radians, grads, degrees) when performing trigonometric functions. Everyone will find the calculator's English/metric conversions helpful.
The TI36Xs single-line LCD is a little difficult to read when the unit is lying on a desk, and users in need of graphing functions will have to look elsewhere. Overall, however, for a calculator in this price range, the TI36X provides enough power for most high-level math and science needs.

I consider it to be more user friendly than the TI-89 Titanium because of the shortcut keys and nice interface. For example, to calculate a determinant on the TI-89 you must press 2nd, MATH then scroll to Matrix, then select Det( and press enter. Then you have to remember the syntax which is det([a1, a2, a3][b1, b2, b3][c1, c2, c3]) and finally press enter.
On the Ti-36X Pro all you have to do is press 2nd, Matrix and scroll to edit and enter how many columns and rows you want in the specified matrix, press enter and then put in your values. Then once the values are saved you go back to the Matrix menu and select Determinant and put in the name of the matrix where you saved the information. Pretty slick for a smaller calculator.
The four line display provides enough room to see what your doing and the text is fairly large which I like. With the bigger calculators you usually have to squint to see some numbers, especially in low-light situations. This calculator also features Mathprint. This means that fractions, integrals and most other mathematical notation shows up as it's supposed to. However if you don't like this there is a feature to turn it off. This is especially useful for when you're calculating something like a parallel resistance circuit and you want to see that big fraction to make sure you didn't make a mistake.
Of course no review is complete without listing the gripes. There's not too many problems with this calculator however there are something that really bug me. The first one being that there is no option to toggle "insert" like the TI-89 has. Usually I find myself needed to edit an equation that I just entered. Therefore I have to press second, then insert and put whatever I needed into the equation. Not a big deal but can get annoying at times.
Second, I don't like the chrome arithmetic buttons. At times I find myself hitting the subtract button when I wanted to do some addition. However I solved this problem by running a fine-tipped sharpie over the buttons and rubbing off the excess on the surface. Now the symbols have a black color in contrast with the chrome. Much easier to see and I suggest this method if anyone else has this problem.
Third, you must press a button multiple times to get what you need. For example say I want to type a complex number (3+5i) on the screen. I press 3, +, 5 and then I have to press the "pi, e, i" key three times just to get the "i" symbol. Can be a bit annoying/frustrating and you might make a mistake if you've had way too much caffeine as I normally do. Although I suppose they had to do this to consolidate space in the design process so I can respect that. Just a little annoying but I guess it comes with the territory. This can add a bit of time to the learning curve if you're not used to these "multipress" buttons.
That's basically it. For a non-graphing calculator I give it a 9/10. Comparing budget calculators, I've had the TI-30Xa and the Ti-30XIIS before and this one blows them out of the water obviously, hence the name TI-36X PRO. I've never had a Casio calculator so I can't compare. With this many features and usability at the price of $17 or so it's certainly an exemplary buy. A great budget engineering calculator and certainly the best to use on the FE exam in my opinion. Go with this one!
Best features include:
- It only costs $20 instead of a $100+ graphic calculator. It's got all the same necessary functions as the big-name graphing calculators, just you can't load Mario or program with it.
- Derivative and integration calculator
- Constant list (includes, c, g, h, NA, proton, neutron, electron masses, G, e^-, coulomb constant) which saves precious minutes and simplifies long equations on AP and college tests.
- Single variable equation solver
- 2x2 and 3x3 matrix
- asin, acos, atan
- Easy-to-learn button layout interface
The calculator also provides some nice programs. For example I'm able to put in a list of numbers and have the calculator automatically calculate all sorts of statistics pertaining to that list (i.e. standard deviation, sample standard deviation, average, etc.). None of those are hard to manually calculate but it can be quite tedious to calculate the standard deviation manually with a long list so it's nice that the calculator does it for you. I almost felt like I was cheating on the FE exam when I was using this feature. some other calculations this calculator can perform are integrals/derivatives (I don't think it allows indefinite forms of integrals/derivatives but maybe I just don't know how yet), nCr, nPr, rectangular to polar conversion and vice versa, vector cross/dot products, calculations involving matrices with dimensions up to 3x3, 2nd/3rd order polynomial equation solver. There's a fairly useful list of constants as well. One thing that bugs me about the constants is that they're all listed as one long list and the units corresponding to that list of constants are listed in another list. For example if I want to use the constant of gravitational acceleration then I find it in the list of constants. I press enter and obtain 9.80665. If I were to want to know what units it's in then I have to go the the list of constants, hit right on the directional pad, and find that constant again to find out that the units are m/s^2. This can get pretty annoying. The conversion program is quite useful and has an abundant number of choices to choose from (English to SI, temperature, velocity, etc.).
A minor but very useful feature of this calculator is the ability to scroll through previously entered inputs and previously obtained answers and selecting them so that they appear on the input line (think of the TI89, unlike the TI83).
The answers appear as fractions by default, like in the TI89. Hitting the conversion fraction/decimal key once allows you to toggle between whether the answer is displayed as a fraction or decimal.
I didn't really find the 1 and 2 star reviews to have any merit (I didn't read the 3 star reviews). I didn't find the metallic keys giving me any hassle. Overall this calculator was a great purchase and I'm going to continue using it even after having passed (hopefully - still awaiting my results) my FE exam.
Edit 10/19/2012: I Passed my FE exam (first try despite the delay between my first post and subsequent editing). One other nuisance I found with the calculator is that it doesn't show commas for long numbers and it cuts off many significant figures for small numbers (for e.g. 2.1e-9 gets displayed as .000000002). I'm still using my ti-36 pro and am happy with my purchase despite this nuisance.

Los Pros:
Lo mejor es poder escribir en notación matemática, tal como se ven en los libros de texto y en los nuevos programas de cálculo, lo cual es de mucha ayuda.
Abarca muchas materias, lo cual la hace muy funcional y completa.
Muy fácil de acostumbrarse a su uso, no requiere muchas combinaciones de teclas para llegar a lo que necesitas.
Viene con manual en inglés, pero en su página web se descarga en español, los cuales explican con ejemplos prácticos además de las funciones de la calculadora.
Los contras.
Tal vez la calidad de la calculadora, se siente muy sencilla.
La tapa, la forma de acomodarla es a presión. Al inicio es incómodo, pero manejable.
En matrices solo calcula máximo 3x3.
Con el uso, es muy práctica para obtener resultados rápidos y confiables.
