Ti-83 Emulator

[vassil3427]

Hello all,
I've been searching alot, and still cannot find one, I need an emulator of the Ti-83 (Or equivelant) for Pocket Pc. I dont want to waste $100 on a stupid calculator if I can just get a program for my ppc..I need it because I'm going into Algebra II this year...

I don't know if this helps but have a look in the emulators section of http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com there are a few calculators there.

I don't know about an emulator for the TI, but they do have emulators for the advanced HP graphing calculators. do a google search for pocket PC and hp48sx and emulator. you should have no problem finding this program. Good luck with Algebra II...I hate parabolas.....

What's wrong with the TI-83? That thing rules. There is so much you can do with it.

Well yeah, but right now I have the choice between getting a new PDA or a Ti-83....And I would much rather have a new Pocket PC.... So is there no Ti-83 emulator or what??

I have one for PC but I have been unable to find a ppc one. I could send you the PC versions if you want.

Thanks...but like I said, I need it for ppc..looks like I may end up just having to buy the calculator

How about these, there's not the ti-83 but the hp might do the trick

keep in mind though: you won't be allowed to use a PPC in any standardized tests, like the SATs or ACTs, although you would be allowed to use a TI 83.

SpaceTime comes out in about a week, it will have all the functuionality of a TI-83:

$30, but the 3d graphing is awesome!

If you don't need an actual TI (I know some courses require specific calculators), there are a lot of options. Two of my favorites are:

Napier
+ lots of functions, handles multiple bases, programmable. Great for those straight forward problems you just need a calculator
- no graphing, or complex numbers

Math Tablet
+ complex matrices and higher powered features like nonlinear equation and DEQ solvers, 2D graphing, programmable. Geared more towards problem solving than simple calculation.
- no 3D graphing, you may have to read the manual to sort through all of the features

I've seen them both at handango or pocketgear
