Hi, I'm currently completely lost as to which one of these two I ought to buy.
I've recently started a Math and Physics course to get the necessary classes to begin an Engineering education (either Computer Science or more likely, Mechanical Engineering), for now I don't need anything as advanced as the TI-89, but of course, if I do buy it, I can keep it throughout the education course, and from what I understand it will be legal to use on most exams etc.
The TI-Inspire however has a screen that leaves all other calculators for dead, and I really REALLY like that. It also appear to display things easier (due to the better screen) and the button layout, though prone to accidental touches, seems fairly well made. If this one can really help me ease into the math and also physics easier I would probably greatly benefit from it, as I haven't done any form of school for almost 6 years, and I'm horribly rusty in what little I remember or know (most of it is brand new to me). I do realize this isn't accepted on many a test, and from what I understand some of the interface can be a little shoddy? Would it be better to get the TI-89 then upgrade if/when a TI-89 based calculator comes with a similar screen?
Which one would you recommend, before 4pm tomorrow, Saturday 9th of Jan? Any input is greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
Oh, and here's links to both of them:
