Rating: - * Easy Choice for Actuaries ... For the aspiring actuaries out there, are you deciding over the TI-30X II S or the BA II Plus? Look no further, definitely get this calculator. The speed with which you will be able to compute will vastly improve your performance on the exams. So far, the calculator has helped me on both exam P and the FM exam. Rating: - * Excellent functions, friendly user interface ... I needed a financial calc but wasn't sure which to get. I knew of the HP series but found them archaically obsolete with so many ridiculous keypresses you have to basically memorize through route repitition and they are quite slow. I didn't want that. I wanted to use modern technology to assist me. In this case, the BA2+ has an intuitive interface with the labels for keypresses appearing on the screen itself and scroll buttons to make your way through worksheets. This allows for easy entry without having to memorize anything. Finance can be difficult enough -- no need to make life harder for yourself. The functions are great, with everything you need. I enjoy the algebraic entry mode such as using stacked parenthesis order of operation. Coming from a TI-89, this is a very natural way of doing mathematics for me. Only negative I find is sometimes pressing a key rapidly doesn't register. I can't find any regular pattern to this so am unable to offer an explanation. Rating: - * Ti BA II ... I was very impressed with the speed of delivery from this seller. Everything they said was included showed up and it works great thank you very much. Rating: - * Totally Worth it! ... I purchased this as a Finance major and it is totally worth paying the extra amount for the increased functionality. Rating: - * great business calculator ... great looks and features, most of which I havn't used yet (MBA student)...tough, TI products last forever. I still have a TI 82 that I bought 13 yrs ago. one criticism, the keys are somewhat hard to push down , so moving quickly can be an issue when working long balance sheets. You have to really make sure you push down on them. |
