Customer Reviews

printing calculator4
Product meets expectations and was very reasonably priced. Arrived well packed and in exceptional time.

NO ON NO TIME4
WHEN IT STATES CALENDAR & CLOCK FUNCTION THE AVERAGE PERSON WOULD BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOUR UNIT IS OFF (NOT A CALCULATOR) THAT THE TIME OR TIME CALENDAR WOULD SHOW ON THE DISPLAY. IT IS NOT EXPLAINED THAT THE UNIT "MUST BE ON" TO SEE THE TIME OR CALENDAR AND EVEN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING THE TIME AND DATE DO NOT SAY IT HAS TO BE ON.
I WAS NOT VERY HAPPY THAT THE UNIT MUST STAY ON FOR THIS FUNCTION AS THERE IS A BACKUP BATTERY IN THE UNIT.
AS FOR THE FUNCTION AND EASE OF THE KEYS FOR A CALCULATOR IT IS GREAT, BUT HAD I KNOW ABOUT THE TIME FUNCTION I WOULD HAVE GONE FOR THE LESS EXPENSIVE ONE WITHOUT THE TIME.

Met my expectations4
For the price I recommend this printing calculator. It fulfills my need for such a product within my home.

Everything I wanted in an accounting calculator5
Admittedly, some of the accounting functions are not self-explanatory, so I've needed to refer to the owners manual a few times, but the ease of the keypad and the easy to read display make this the best calculator for the money. It is possible to buy cheaper, and spend more, but this calculator offers the most for the money. Reccommend to anyone serious about performing routine accounting and tax calculations.

Great Calculator4
Easy to read numbers. Big keys. Easy to use. Great product in price range. Would buy again.

Great Calculator, Excellent Value5
When my old calculator died I decided to try something new. This calculator is large, has a great tactile feel and prints in clear, dark tones (two color printing.) I paid roughly half for this model over what I paid for my Canon printer many moons ago and yet I'm not the least bit disappointed. If you want an excellent calculator at a reasonable price you won't go wrong with this model.

printing calculator5
If you only want an adding machine, this unit is overkill. You need to know a little math in order to appreciate the extra features it has. However, if you need a calculator to do tax computations, etc., I think it's OK for the job.

Great product but .............5
If you currently use a non-printing calculator it will take a bit of time to get use to this printing calculator. You cannot do simple math eg. 100-10=90. With a printing calculator you must make entries like this if you need to subtract an equation eg. 100+ then type 10 minus to get the answer of 90. Its strange to explain if you are not familiar with a printing calculator. For those who are I hope I explained correctly. Other than that, its a great product.

Easy 4
Well, there's not much to say on this product: it works. It's solid and easy to use. If you need a printing calculator, this has to be your choice.

Fiske Guide to Colleges 2009 (Fiske Guide to Colleges)


Fiske Guide to Colleges 2009 (Fiske Guide to Colleges)
By Edward B Fiske










Customer Reviews

good book.. but old school3
this is a good book, but i can't help but to think that the old school college guidebook is a little outdated in today's tech-savvy world. i'm looking for a searchable tool, somewhere where i can enter in specific criteria that i'm looking for in a college and subsequently find the perfect college for me. i'd realy suggest using a website such as www.campuscompare.com that incorporates the quantitative information available in such a guidebook with the student-reviews and digital media that reveals the personality of the school, all in a searchable database, online format that i am familiar with.

A useful guide!5
The Fiske Guide presents thorough information on a remarkable number of schools. In addition to basic enrollment statistics, this book provides up-to-date contact information for admissions departments, enrollment deadlines, a list of the school's strongest programs/departments, a list of similar ("overlap") schools for each college or university, and an in-depth discussion of academic and social life at each school. Well-researched and accurate. I am an academic counselor, and I refer to this book *constantly*. It is far superior to other college guides I have read. A must-have for anyone embarking on the college search process.

Detailed information with useful student feedback5
This is one of the best college guides out there. It has a lot of great detailed information on the colleges including quotes from students. The number of colleges profiled is just right--enough to provide some options but not so many that it's overwhelming. I really like how Fiske shares which colleges are similar to the one you're interested in. That makes the college search a little easier.

Product Description

For more than 20 years, this leading guide to more than 300 colleges and universities has been an indispensable source of information for college-bound students and their parents. Hip, honest and straightforward, the Fiske Guide to Colleges delivers an insider's look at the academic climates and the social and extracurricular scenes at the "best and most interesting" schools in the U.S., plus Canada and Great Britain.

The Fiske Guide to Colleges 2009 is a tool to help you make the most intelligent educational investment you can. With The Fiske Guide to Colleges 2009, you'll get:

  • The #1 Bestselling College Guide
  • The guide that is most trusted by guidance counselors, students, and parents
  • A book packed with tips from current students about the ins and outs of their schools Fiske's exclusive academic, social, and quality-of-life ratings for each school

"I happen to prefer the Fiske Guide for its combination of compressive facts and figures and personal anecdotes and descriptions of each campus. They may take a bit longer to read than a quick reference guide, but each entry leaves you with an indelible impression of the academic and social life at the college in question."

- Excerpt from The Truth About Getting In, by Katherine Cohen, founder of IvyWise

The Fiske Guide to Colleges 2009 also includes:

  • Fiske's exclusive academic, social and quality-of-life ratings
  • The 40+ schools that deliver the best education at the most reasonable costs

  • Candid tips from each school's current students
  • A self-quiz to help understand which college is right for a student

Useful Programs for the Ti-89 Reviews



Useful Programs for the Ti-89
By Jimmy Allen Davis









Customer Reviews

Useful book of programs5
I think this book is valuable to the aspiring computer programmer and seasoned pro alike. The book gives you a chance to use the powerful programming capabilities of the TI-89 and Voyage 200 from Texas Instruments. Each program and its description fit on one or two pages so it is just as easy to go from start to finish as it is to radomly open the book and find a new program to input and learn from. The book also excels in that it offers programs from many disciplines like physics, astronomy, basic algebra, and calculus. So if you are looking to get the most out of your wonderful TI calculator and at the same time brush up on your programming skills, this book is a helpful and insightful start.

No Page Numbering - What a Major Waste of Time!!!3
I received this book about a week ago. Since there is no page numbering in the book, nothing can be found without paging through the entire book!! Since I got the book, I have been doing nothing but numbering the pages with my own system!! Lacking pages is the fault of the publisher (Trafford of Victoria, Canada), not the author. Many of the programs look very helpful, but I have not been able to try them yet due to the numbering problem!! I have never had to number another book's pages in my entire life and I am 60 years old!!

Product Description

Here an award winning developer who has worked for such esteemed organizations as NASA and Gateway Computers shares his developed code for one of the most successful and powerful calculators available on the market. These programs are perfect for the academic in high tech degree programs such as engineering or math. They save time and effort attempting to calculate information and data in such varied topics as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, vector calculus, differential equations, classical physics, modern physics, statics, space mechanics and more.

Blast your efficiency level to the stars with these proven programs and functions designed to help students fly by mediocre calculations and get to the mechanics of the problem, which is the most important part of learning. Students can concentrate on the guts of more difficult problems presented to them, placing them a step above the rest upon graduation and beyond.

Suitable for all levels of education from middle school and beyond.

Calculus with the TI-89 Book Reviews


Calculus with the TI-89
By Brendan Kelly










Customer Reviews

Absolute GEM!!!!5
This book, like others I have by Brendan Kelly, is clearly written, easy
to read, and he writes for his target audience. This book not only shows
the reader which buttons to push but also includes theory and asks really
good questions to ponder as you go. Do not be misled by the fact that it
is only 95 pages long. Those pages are jam packed with all the RIGHT in-
formation and calculus theory with illustrative solved problems and then
problems with detailed solutions in the back of the book. Each chapter of
this book should printed into every full blown calculus text at the back
of each chapter of the same material. In this way a student learns how to
use the TI-89 for the material he is studying at the same time. Doing
both simultaneously is enormously helpful to the learning process. The
calculator is not a substitute for doing the calculations manually - I
am a purist - but it is a great tool for checking those calculations that
you can do manually because you have done practice problems until your
eyes are falling out. Let me repeat myself: There is not a better, more
well written, more enjoyable book on this subject to be found anywhere.
Mr. Kelly, when are you going to treat us to a full blown 1,200 page tome
on introductory calculus written by you?

Calculus TI-89 with Application.5
Great for learning Calculus, the applications of Calculus and the use of the TI-89 to solve Calculus problems.

Great intro to TI-89 and Calculus5
This book provides a broad and useful introduction to Calculus and to the TI-89. It's especially useful for beginners in Calculus, who want to learn a bit about concepts along with learning how to use a graphing calculator. It moves at a brisk pace, but still explains concepts surprisingly well.
