Description
For students in any field, but especially math and sciences, Casio's FX 2.0 algebra graphing calculator is a problem-solving tool with features for storing, graphing, and analysis using the computer algebra systems, programming, statistical functions, and many other features.
The large, readable display exhibits 8 lines and 21 characters in black and white with icon and pull-up menus. You can factor/expand and simplify simultaneous equations with a maximum of 30 orders. The FX 2.0 analyzes up to 10 matrices combined with data storage in lists containing up to 999 elements per list. It solves equations interactively for different variables and calculates mean/median and sum, distribution, mode results and regression coefficient.
Readily accessible functions from basic math include random numbers, DMS, auto zoom, decimals/fractions, first/second derivatives, integration, complex functions, matrix functions, and base-n calculations. It also performs statistical functions like histograms/broken line, box plots, modified box plots, distribution curve, scatter plot/XY line, med-med line, and linear/quadratic/cubic and quartic regression. Additionally, sinusoidal regression, logistic regression, trace of regression graph, and copy of regression expression are easily accessed features. Program functions incorporate user-defined programs, a search for program name, and a search for program data.
The algebra tutor shows step-by-step solutions or allows the student to manually solve equations. The FX 2.0 includes 128 KB RAM and 768 KB flash ROM. A communication port enables linking to a personal computer, to another FX 2.0, or to a Casio data analysis device. With unlimited history, catalog function, up to 20 function memories, calculation window, clipboard, resume, up to 20 pictures, and three languages (English, Spanish, and French), the FX 2.0 is essential equipment for Algebra 1 and 2 and in physics and engineering courses. It is powered by four AAA alkaline batteries and one lithium battery for backup to preserve memory.
The Casio FX 2.0 comes with a comprehensive guidebook and is supported by a one-year limited warranty. --Barbara Price

For professional Usage

I have been using Casio calculators since my High School. In my engineering course I used FX-120 & SuperFx-100. While I am at job, I had to implement some complex differential equations on my software. I really got a good solution in the form of Casio Algebra FX 2.0 Plus. This product is simply the best, it solves my purpose. I could even try my algorithm even while I am travelling - hats of to the Programming feature. Please note I am making this comment for the AFX 2.0 Plus version.
The keys are smooth, grip is good. However the calculator is slightly bulky. Overall its a embedded computer fitting within hand.
SB-87/SB-155 CABLE HARD TO FIND

HERE IS A SITE WITH THE HARD TO FIND CABLE FOR THIS CALCULATOR. JUST COPY & PASTE. http://www.pccables.com/87020.htm IT IS $17.99. I LIKE THIS CALCULATOR ALOT, BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT COULD BE IMPROVED ON IT. AND FOR THE ONE WAITING FOR CASIO TO HAVE A COLOR CALCULATOR, WELLLLL THEY NOW HAVE ONE. LOL
Don't buy this!

If you're gonna buy a graphing calc, get a TI-89, I first bought this Casio one and it's completely overrated by the most part of the people that has written here... It's not good at all.
Now I'm totally satisfied with my TI-89

This is one of the best technologies i have ever seen in the world of casio. It is superb and indeed super. I would look for a day when i shall see a casio calculator with color LCD.
Good for Algebra, bad for Stats.

This calculator saved me in basic level Algebra courses... But, it's Statistic functions leave much to be desired, mainly because the manual is EXTREEMLY weak in this department.
Very easy to use. As stated, I find the manual to be very weak (except for Algb functions) and no instructors have ever used one.
