Ok – let me be REAL clear about something right from the start: I was a French major in college because I hate math (although I do like Accounting…addition, subtraction, MAYBE some multliplication….after that…I’m done!).
So for this review…I had only one choice: to give the TI-Nspire Calculator to Brad for him to check it out (he was a Mechanical Engineering major at Villanova. Calculators like this are his “crack”). Brad’s comments? “It’s really cool and it will help you figure out words-and-phrases-I-never-heard-before-in-my-life-but-I-am-fairly-sure-they-have-to-do-with-a-Flux-Capacitor”.
So in order to avoid me sounding like a COMPLETE idiot when it comes to the TI-Nspire Calculator (ummm – it’s a calculator? it does graphs? my brother-in-law showed up last night and also went nuts over it and begged me to have mine for my nephew and when I said “yes”, my nephew told me that I was saving his education? I’m assuming that this all means something in the “Math Geek World”), I’m reverting to the product specs on this one……actually, I am copying the review of one of my favorite Math Geek Frugal Bloggers (Briana, who is also hosting a giveaway of a TI-Nspire Calculator)
This calculator is really a 3-in-1: A graphing calculator, software package, and a T84 plus keypad (available by mail in rebate).
The touchpad gives the TI-Nspire an almost mouse like feel. The TI-Nspire is permitted on the SAT, AP, ACT, IB, PSAT/NSMQT, and Praxis as well as many state tests!

I am NOT a math geek. I did not like math in school and still don’t like it today. If I won, it would be given to my son.

I was a French Major and this is for my grandson.
I was a math geek. I took all the higher level math courses in high school and college. I would give the calculator to my oldest niece.

You know, I really loved math up until AP Calculus. Then, I had a pretty terrible teacher and I started to believe I wasn’t any good at math. I majored in English and psychology in college, and have never really done anything with math since. I think it’s kind of a shame.
