well, I don't know about the rest but 9860 has all those symbols, they are useless thought. About physical contsants, physium has them, perhaps it is not very easy to get, when you want to do things fast, having to switch to physium, selecting the constant you want and then saving it on a variable, and the using it... well if you really want you could store your favorite constants in variables not used in programs.

and this is the difference. The TI calcs have all these accessible from everywhere easily (as far as I know at least)

Thats true for the TI-86. I have 15 built in constants, and I can define as many custom ones as I want. It can also use up to 8 characters per variable name, a nice feature. I also have built in unit conversion. I just type a number, then I select the beginning unit, a special arrow, and the end unit, and it will make the conversion. There are 90 different units to choose from, ranging from mass to speed to temperature and many others. I believe the TI-89 and above also have all of this, but I'm pretty sure the TI-83/84 series and below don't have any of it.

thats what I meant why the TIs are engineering calcs.

I've got an FX-7400g.

It's brilliant.

It's got a big screen.

It's got lots more functions than any other calculator I've used.

The games are great. It makes lessons go so quickly.

It only cost me $52.

the important limitation on this calcs is the 28 vars without custom names..And the slow/poor basic (catch the SDK and go to C/C++,good solution)

i think that TI?s are good calcs with the best community, Casio?s are BETTER calcs than TI?s...but with small community, the only that we need is good and active users group. Stop to complain casio...It?s waste time usable to improve the calcs, and our japanese friends could?nt hear us :nonono: .. Don?t pray casio for engineering support, support yourself. I?m now on the half of my enginnering plan. With an AFX. i supported myself without problems.. I?ve programmed things that wasn?t exist on casio calcs and used in the uni with pretty good results!! (one step unit conversion, Truss solver for AFX and CP,All numerical methods for AFX, Beam analyzer for CP, materials resistance and stress analysis tools are some programs).

We need more users that upload 1 big program every 6-8 weeks in example, to improve the programs base.

I?ve propossed a programming contest few weeks ago, a P.C focused to math/phys/chemistry/engineering, not games!!!.. powerful programs could born on this P.C. result: nothing interested.. :profanity:
The people are interested on "looking games for...".. but, if this same people need a serious eng prog, starts to blame casio: :rant: "casio doesnt?t support.....TI?s are....HP?s have..." and so on.. what you say, you?re ready for a math/phys/chemistry/engineering programming contest?? this is the solution for a lot of problems

PD: MLC2 is able to do as LUA does?

nope. though you might go mad at me now ( :D ), MLC2 main target is Games programming. It will not contain any floating point mathematics (at least for a long time ;) )

The AFX is the best on this sector....no doubt about this...

Spredsheet and eActivities are nothing against CAS Algebra and Differential Eqn and a x86 fully programmable platform

BUY AFX!! :plol:

Hey, I know the only salepoint of AFX is CAS (the only big thing 9860 lacks of: if it has, then no one buy the AFX), but consider if you don't REALLY need it, then the AFX is woth just a piece of trash compare to the 9860G(SD).

The 9860G(SD) is very superior to the AFX both by hardware (3X faster CPU, high contrast bigger display (very easy to read), support SD card expansion, etc.) and by software (textbook display, much easier-to-use interface, eActivities (this one is big upgrade; like the interactive textbook you can click and activate the calculation), spreadsheet, etc.); but yes, it lacks of CAS. That's why CASIO still sell the AFX.

So I conclude that if you REALLY need CAS, choose the AFX; otherwise the fx9860G(SD) is best(of all non-CAS calculator in the world).

Okay, so i hate maths :banghead:

my mathsteachers head is like a triangle :rant: and I need something to pass the time <_<
I need games!!!! I dont have these cables everyone is talking about, I don't even know what buttons to press but

-I have fx-9750GA PLUS

and if there is a cool game place somewhere then... :greengrin:

please help me

Just from experience, certain CFXs are quite good, 7400G, 9800G(Color Screen) :greengrin: ), etc. They just lack a few programming commands that the 2nd gen have.

AFX, no idea, haven't used one.

2nd gen, ditto, but from reviews seem to be quite good.

I just really wish that Casio would create a new calc that had the 2nd gen programming(and a few more commands to boot like TI's Menu command) and the color screen of some of the CFXs
Oh and another one, on the TIs theres a Send and Recieve command for sending numbers immediately.
This would be good for multiplayer games via link cable. ;)
