Casio FX 83 ES Calculator

Just what is needed in school and collage. Can be used to write amusing words in maths. Can also be used to sneak in to science and maths tests (due to the sleek design and small proportions) but still big enough for you to get a real feel of it.

Covers all of the main functions and probably much more. The display is clear and bright and seems to draw very little power, judging by the very long battery life. The slip-on cover (which probably ought to be described as a clip-on cover) offers hard protection, allowing you to throw the calculator in a bag/briefcase with little concern for what damage keys, etc might do.

For an old fogey like me who can remember when personal calculators were first launched (huge clunky things with LED displays that could do the 4 basic functions and not much else) it seems almost impossible that you can now spend less than £10 and get a powerful machine like this.....! But you can. This is a highly versatile and very reasonably priced machine that will comfortably cover GCSE or Scottish Standard Grade maths.

This calculator has many functions, a clear screen and is not too complicated to understand. Do save the instruction book! The order came very quickly from the seller.

I hardly use this calculator and the print on the keys are simply disapering . The = sign has disappered completely, the division and multiply signs almost disapered as well and some number are well on the way . The calculator has been rendered unusable in a matter of months but I didn't bother to complain as postage costs to return it is expensive -- I have simply decided to cease buying from this supplier

This has great functionality for the price and the display is nice and easy to read for eyes that aren't as young as they used to be.only caveat is that at some point I pressed some button such that simple multiplication involving decimals didn't work any more but just gave me an answer in long division form. I'm not sure how/why it did this and it took much random button pressing to get it back working properly (it's done this twice in first 3 days of having it) but other than that it's fine, as long as this doesn't happen on a regular basis.

Great versatile scientific calculator meeting all your mathematical educational needs in a practical user friendly layout at a terrific price.

I had to buy specifically this calculator for uni, and I wasn't given any other choice. If you do have a choice, buy something else.It comes by default set up to calculate division which gives the result as fraction. To change it do a decimal form I had to play with the settings for a while.This is how you fix it: go to set up (press shift, then mode) , press 1, then 2.I hope this helps those who encounter the same problem.It has a limit for the amount you can type in, so I have to divide my calculations in 2 or 3 parts and add them all together. It is really frustrating during exams.
