CASIO Graphics Calculator FX-9750GII

Product Information

If that's not enough, you upgraded the operating system to give it a natural display, spreadsheet, document facility and the ability to take powerful add on apps (free of charge) which give it CAS facilities. It doesn’t have a computer algebra system like some of the most expensive graphing calculators (like the TI-Nspire CX CAS, or the HP Prime).

Even if you haven’t used a Casio calculator before, or even a graphing calculator before, the fx-9750GII shouldn’t be too hard to learn.The fx9750gii was launched over 11 years ago, and almost from 'day 1' owners have complained about the lack of a natural display as standard, and have resorted to upgrading the operating to the fx9860gii, by ROM flashing. So if you are already familiar with BASIC, or you have programmed other calculators, programming this one won’t be too hard to learn how to do. It's very important you know which model of CPU your calculator has, as this affects which BIOS image you'll flash onto the calculator.

The Casio fx-9750GII has one of the most capable programming interfaces of most graphing calculators. Since it has a low resolution your graphed lines won’t look as pretty, and some of the menus will have abbreviated words. Bigger isn’t always better, particularly when you’re talking about another thing to lug around in your backpack that’s probably already crammed full of books. However, you are still able to program in Casio Basic, and everything else works like the fx-9860GII except for those points. From any screen, you can press the [MENU] button and be taken the main menu where you can run any of the 14 main apps on the calculator.Most Casio calculators are pretty straightforward and easy to use, and the fx-9750GII is no exception. I'vebeengettingusedtoitanddon'twanttochangetoascientificoneweeksbeforemyASexamsbutthereisjustonefunctionIcan'tfind. The newer model uses a SH4a CPU, has a white case shell, with a deep blue keyboard surround, and is informally known as the fx-9750GII-2. Features icon menu system, data communications with PC and calculators, matrix/vector, metric conversions, 21 character x 8 line display and user memory.

Taking everything into account: ease of use, features, build quality, display clarity, suitability for school/college use, nothing else comes near. Not the current solar powered model but excellent value for money and came complete with instructions and Casio software DVD ROM. Assuming it was allowed in an A-level Maths exam; in many instances, its extra facilities wouldn't compensate for it being slower to use. The SolveN facility solves many types of equation, as presented (even trig equations with multiple angles, e. xxxx or later (the xxx's are numbers which don't matter for this discussion) then your calculator has a SH4 CPU.

Incredibly easy to use: just think about where you'd expect the facility to be and how you'd expect to use it, and there it is! It also has the upside of being able to graph lines pretty quickly because the calculator doesn’t have to draw so many pixels. You'll need a copy of the latest fxRemote, a copy of the latest available fx-9860GII BIOS, the USB cable that connects your calculator to the computer, and finally a relatively fresh set of batteries. It may be out of fear of loosing sales of the fx9860gii as a consequence, but that may not have happened because it's sturdier, has a bigger display panel, and the SD versions of it offer memory expansion via SD cards. Virtually every advanced statistical function is built-in, including Chi-Squared GOF, t- tests (both 1- and 2-sample), ANOVA and all the basic functions as well.
