It's all in the Topic:
Why is it that people say that TI are better calculators for engineering, and that Casios are for Acountants and so on?

Points of view.

1.- in some cases people that hates programming, or doesn?t know about programming prefer HP or TI, for the extended engineering programs background

2.-People that loves programming, or have tons of patience, would prefer CASIO (AS WE KNOW ON THE UCF!!, and do their own programs, fitting their needs :D

3.- A casio comunnity problem....too much games. :( high level programmers, but unuseful work for enginner enthusiasts :!: .. I will do?nt release opinions about games programming.

4.- That?s not job of casio. HP doesn?t program for the engineering students, students program for HP

5.- In the other hand, Texas made programs.....Light programs, as MEpro....that solve EASY AND PARTICULAR problems... We would do better programs.

:!: A POWERFUL CALC IS A PROBLEM CONCERNED WITH CASIO :!:

I think that CASIO solved 90% of this problem ( Lua is solving the other 10% :D ) and....

:!: AN EXTENSIBLE AND USEFUL CALC IS A PROBLEM CONCERNED TO THE USERS COMUNITY :!:

What you say?

casios are never meant to be engineering calc. They are students calcs (as I said in the other topic).

IF we enhance them to engineering calcs that is our job, not casios. It has ALWAYS been said, that the TIs are better with engineering. Nobody here denied this. (Thou this might change with the CP and its LUA support)

well it's all been said, ti calcs may be better for engeneering than casio calcs but that depends on whos working with the calculator. A lame TI user will NEVER match a dedicated Casio user, why? because the lamers don't know or care to program or even bother to read the manual end to end, that's why i see lots of people with TI 89 and don't know how to use the calculator's full potential.
I never liked TI's that much, i've started with a Casio and now use an HP, and in my opinion HP is better for engineering that TI, but what do i know? right? :P

I'm in my way to engineering, the only thing I think would be great in terms of engineering would be boolean Algebra.
All the tools an engineer needs (civil engineer) are the integralization, and ordinary equation solver.
Unit conversion... well it would be handy, thought it would probably be more time spensive that actually doing it with standard calculations.
