For students in math and sciences, or for anyone new to graphing
calculators, Texas Instruments has created the TI-83 Plus--a powerful,
problem-solving tool with features for storing, graphing, and analyzing
up to 10 functions. Plus, it displays graphs and evaluates tables on a
split screen, allowing you to trace the graph and scroll through table
values simultaneously.
The
clear, readable display exhibits 12 characters and eight lines, in 64 x
96 pixels on an LCD screen. The TI-83 Plus has a pragmatic key layout
and an easy-to-use graphing interface, with a simple programming
language for creating conversion programs. The TI-83 Plus stores and
analyzes up to 10 matrices combined with data storage in lists
containing up to 999 elements per list. You can also solve equations
interactively for different variables.
With the TI-83 Plus, you
can view an equation, its graph, and the coordinates all at one time.
Jump from point to point by entering a number. Several useful plot types
are available, including scatter, box-and-whisker, XY-line, histogram,
and normal probability plots. Advanced statistics and regression
analysis, graphical analysis, and data analysis are readily accessed,
along with features for calculus, engineering, financial, logarithm,
trigonometry, and hyperbolic functions--all crucial tools for advanced
analysis.

With its clear display and fast processing, the TI-83 Plus incorporates
graphing tools for mathematics and science course work, including
statistics and finance. Incredibly useful for college
boards--PSAT/NMSQT, SAT I, SAT II, Math, IC, and IIC--the TI-83 is
essential equipment for advanced placement courses in chemistry,
physics, and calculus.
The addition of the optional TI-Graph
Link (software and cable) allows you to connect the calculator to your
computer, permitting the transfer of files and data between machines.
The TI-83 is powered by four AAA alkaline batteries (sold separately and one lithium
battery for backup, with an automatic shutoff to save energy.
