Calculator for FS exam
I am debating on what calculator to start getting familiar with to take the FS. I have a TI-89, but it’s not allowed. I am looking at the Casio fx-991ex. It seems to be simple and straight forward. I’ve heard the HP 35s is supposed to be good, but I’ve never ran an RPN (didn’t even know what that meant) calculator before. I did see it can be run in algebraic mode, but not sure if the programs will work that way. Plus it seems expensive to buy a pre-programmed one. Even buying the programs separate aren’t cheap and I don’t know anything about programming.
What I’ve seen with the Casio is the DMS button and switching between DMS and decimal degrees is very quick and easy.
