Summary : Appearance? For my calculator? Is it for picking up dates?
Wow. That's what they want to know about the calculator; do I like its appearance? Wait, let me crunch the numbers on that! It seems to perform the functions it has just fine, and the layout is fairly reasonable.

Summary : Great Calculator
This calculator is very effective and performs alot of very useful calculations including; matrices, vector calculations, definiete integrals, statistcs-standard deviation and normal distribution. It also has a number of conversions including fractions, unit conversions. I highly recommend it for any high school or college student needing a calculator for a test when graphing calculators are not allowed, this one is the next best option. Not to mention the fact that it is under $20 and completely outperforms the TI30XIIS. Definitely a buy.

Summary : Great product for great price!
I got this for my son he is 7th grade and in honors and he is studying pre-algebra. I've got to say that this calculator did better than any calculator i had before. Truly worth the buy

Summary : Recent covert
I am a die-hard TI 35 guy, from my Navy schools, which strongly recommended them. This Casio is MUCH easier to understand, I love the display method, which mirrors the way our College computer classes display and expect math input. It's my GO TO calculator. I am glad I risked it / bought this one.

Summary : Good Calculator for the FE Exam
The FE Exam allows you to use three specific types of calculators. Comparing all of the calculators I deducted that this calculator was the best because it has the most available functions in addition to unit conversions; which some of the others don't offer. For a starter/test scientific calculator I don't think you can get more functions with this unless you buy a TI-89 (which I have and is the best calculator I've had so far).
PRO's:
(1.) Lot's of functions including: integration, fraction to decimal, deg to rad, base conversions, factorials, summations, constants, variables, matrices, vectors, complex numbers and variable solver.
(2.) Two Way Power including a battery and solar. Good to have solar especially if you're in a long test.
(3.) Can recall previous calculations by pressing the "replay" button.
(4.) Relatively inexpensive for what you're getting ($18 at Target)
(5.) Keys are big and easy to see.
CON's:
(1.) The manual has no table of contents and isn't in alphabetical order, so it can be difficult to find out how to do something even basic.
(2.) There are no commas given in the answers so either you have to keep it in scientific notation or get ready to count.
Overall, I think it is a good investment for basic math needs but would definitely recommend buying something with graphing/programming capabilities (such as a TI-89) for the more advanced user.
