Casio FX-300MS Plus 229-Function Scientific Calculator Review


I acquired this calculator to do physics problems during my residency program. What I find most useful is the ability to keep track of the numbers that I am tabulating in a formula format so it is synomous with writing out the formulas by hand (i.e. Sin 37 = 0.6018). This is easier than older calculators where you had to enter the number then push the function key (i.e. 37 -> Sin = 0.6018). With the parentheses you can enter a series of calculations rather easily. A button for fractions is quite useful for day to day use.

A 4 directional button in the center lets me backtrack without having to re-enter numbers in more complex calculations.

The Solar Power works very well compared to 1st generation calculators. The sliding case protects the buttons and the solar cell from damage.

Luckily, I passed Physics and all I use my calculator is to do simple calculations such as volume and adding up numbers for bank statements.

I like the added versatility of this calculator over standard non-scientific calculators.

I highly recommend it.
