Notes: The TI-30 series started with the TI-30, an ordinary scientific LED calculator. But Texas Instruments kept extending this line, turning it not into just a model number but a whole calculator series. Trying to make it the non-programmable scientific calculator for school use.

Functionally identical to the original TI-30. The LED display has been replaced by an LCD display. The calculator is quite thin, except for the battery compartment right under the LCD.
