hello all
im going to buy my brother a scintific calculator , i have already observed some , but i'm really confused which one to buy
i would be gratful if anyone helps me on picking up the best calculator from the list below .
here is the list i already compiled:
FX-991MS
FX-991ES
CASIO FX- 570ES‎‎ ‎PLUS
CASIO FX- 570ES‎‎ ‎
CASIO FX- 4500PA
CALCULATOR CASIO FX- 100MS‎ ‎
CALCULATOR CASIO FX- 3650 P‎‎
CALCULATOR CASIO FX- 3950 P
and if it helps , my brother is studying chemistery engineering.
Thank you in advance

FX991 are not able to correctly work with complex numbers. They cannot compute e.g. i^3
I think that only useful calculators are from 98X0G series. Casio calculators are not very good as programable calculators. They have no stack, multiword variables, local variables or procedure parameters. So they are very limited in programming. Much much beter is HP50G or Ti89

thank you very much , i really appreciate that .

FX-991MS (good display), FX-991ES Plus (latest) or FX-3650 P (programmable)
See also fx-9860G II and fx-5800P (better programmable).

so will that FX-991ES plus translates to be the best deal among the others from the list i provided ?
( i mean it does what the other calcs do , or most of it ?)

Thank you very much but my choice is limited only to that list i provided , i would appreciate if you guide me with respect to the list ( i know they may not be great, but if you can tell me which is the best , that would be a great help to me)

again Thank you all for your kind response .

Casio calculators are not very good as programable calculators. They have no stack, multiword variables, local variables or procedure parameters.

Casio basic seems optimized for brevity and works best if you use it to pull together a few calculations and produce results in a really straight-forward way (without abstraction or encapsulation).

If you really need a stack to implement an algorithm, I guess you could use a variable (A stack pointer) and a list (The stack).

( I tried Python on my cell-phone, and it just wasn't useful ... even on a "huge" 320 x200 px screen )
