Multiple versions of the TI-36X exist with the same type designation. The first one
(introduced in 1993) has s different, more rectangular, look. Personally I prefer
the look of the first version of the TI-36.
Wikipedia lists (link validated 2024-01-13) the following types:
This TI-36X has quite a lot of functionality. It has all the standard functions of a scientific calculator, plus BASE-n conversion, logical operations, eight physical constants (c, g, me, e, h, NA, R and G). It also does English/metric conversions. Two separate shift keys are required to be able to access this multiple of functions. The calculator has 3 separate memories, to use them one has to press one of the memory buttons followed by the number 1, 2 or 3. A nice addition to fraction calculations is the F◄►D function (above the RCL key). It can be used to find the fraction of a decimal number (if possible). Does not work when the fractional representation does not fit on the display. It can also be used to see the decimal representation of a fraction. Repeated calculations can be performed by typing a number followed by the = key. This will repeat the last used operand. So, for instance then the calculation "2 x 5 =" was performed, typing 7 = will display the result "35". The → arrow key at the bottom left of the calculator, can be used to delete the right-most character in display. I would expect this arrow to point to the left as a kind of back-space. |
