Competition to TI’s 30X Pro MathPrint

[lrdheat]

The 35S is programmable. If just used as a calculator, the lack of d/dx (making for difficulty in finding extremums of functions) and lack of table make it less capable than the TI. The TI has quite a few more other math analysis functions as well. The HP is nice for solving an equation with a number of unknowns, will prompt for known values, and solve for the unknown. The HP also has a number of easily accessible conversions, and very little in the way of menus to ply through. It comes down to the intended usage. If programming is desired, the HP is easily the better choice. On another note, the TI is much more pocketable.
