We called to see if Wal-Mart carried the TI-84, and the salesman said they did, but that they currently only had them in stock in pink. We bought gray ones at Target.Arielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00544262080938175079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-79417404574520383872009-05-27T14:39:42.989-04:002009-05-27T14:39:42.989-04:00Andrew, this mythical calculator can be obtained a...Andrew, this mythical calculator can be obtained at Target for about $100.Lukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-60290555132979179782009-05-27T12:22:47.289-04:002009-05-27T12:22:47.289-04:00I can't be overdrawn.

Hmmm....<br /><br />Anyway, I would like to know where this mystical calculator of Ariel's can be obtained.

The calculator <I>is</I> awesome for multiplication and addition, and graphing. But, the calculator can't take antiderivatives (well, actually the TI-89 can take derivatives, but nobody lets you use that calculator on a test) nor can it set up the proper equation for an "applications to physics and engineering" problem. <br /><br />You know, I think I should start carrying my calculator with me at all times just in case I have to add or subtract something--or multiply or divide.
