A series of scientific calculators for the French and Belgium
markets, mainly, as far as I can determine, meant for the French
speaking scholars. The fx-92B variants
seem to be targeted towards the Belgium market. There is quite a
series there is a collection of calculator. The later models (I
tried to order the list chronologically, please correct me if I'm
wrong) are often of a particular green colour.
So far I’ve found mention of the following types:
- CASIO fx-92 Collège
- CASIO fx-92 Collège II
- CASIO fx-92 Collège III
- CASIO fx-92 Collège New
- CASIO fx-92 Collège New +
- CASIO fx-92 Collège New + (new version)
- CASIO fx-92 Collège New + B
- CASIO fx-92 Collège (new version)
- CASIO fx-92 Collège B (this one)
- CASIO fx-92 Collège 2D
- CASIO fx-92 Collège 2D+
- CASIO fx-92 Collège 2D+ (new version)
- CASIO fx-92B Collège 2D+
- CASIO fx-92 Spéciale Collège
- CASIO fx-92B Spéciale Collège
- CASIO fx-92+ Spéciale Collège
- CASIO fx-92B+ Spéciale Collège
- CASIO fx-92B Secondaire
This version is a very usable en well thought out calculator, quite
similar in its workings to the CASIO fx-82TL and its follow-ups. Please take a
look at the CASIO fx-82TL’s page for a description.
There are some enhancements and differences however. I’ll enlighten a few of them.
- The "÷R"-key does integer divisions and shows the
reminder as well as the result of the division.
- The often-used variables "X" and "Y" have moved to separate keys for easy access.
- The exponent-key is usually called "EXE" on CASIO
calculators. On this one however it is called
"x10x". This is shown on the display as well.
- The "CALC"-key makes this calculator semi-programmable. It works as follows. Enter one or more of
calculations using variables separated by colons. When the
"CALC"-key is pressed the calculator will query for the
values of the variables and after pressing "EXE" will show
the results of the entered calculations. Press the "EXE-key
again to change the values of the variables.
- Variables can be set in two ways, give A the value 42 by
either typing "42 → A" or by typing "A = 42".
- The colour... Well judge for yourself.
