Casio FX 83 MS

After my previous calculator becoming 'Kaput' (broken), I was in the need of a new one, at which point I came across this. I knew on ordering it, that it would be fine, given that it was the same as everybody else's in the class; calculations are sometimes worked out differently on different calculators, and so this was my best bet, since I had plenty of people to chose from for help (if I needed it). Needing a calculator for my GCSE work, I couldn't have any old rubbish... I needed a scientific one for the extra mathematical functions it provides. The overall use of the calculator is very easy, with all your basic functions in the bottom half (such as ...  Read the complete review

I first got this calculator when I was 13 or 14 years old. Our maths teacher told us we needed a scientific calculator and although I already had one, it was different to the one the teacher had. The teacher told us we could buy one through school and this way we would all have the same calculator. Normally it wouldn’t bother me if I was different but in this instance I wanted one the same, as calculations are sometimes worked out slightly differently on different calculators. I love this calculator and have used it happily in many lessons and exams since I first bought it. ~ What is a Scientific Calculator? ~ A scientific calculator is a more ...  Read the complete review

I LOVE this calculator. Yes, I know that's a bit weird and geeky, but it's true! Mr Calculator has been my friend for the past 11 years and he still works perfectly. ~ A Casio fx what!? ~ The Casio fx-83MS is a scientific calculator (non-graphical). Basically it has all the functions you may require for science purposes. A normal calculator has add, subtract etc. and possibly square root buttons. A scientific calculator has all these but also more advanced buttons, such as factorial, trigonometric functions, ability to input and analyse data (standard deviation etc.), storage buttons, log and exponential functions amongst many more. It ...  Read the complete review

I have used the Casio MS FX (in some form or other) for well over 11 years. Indeed, the MS85 FX is the officially approved standard calculator for the University of Southampton - so clearly a trusted machine! As you would expect, it is capable of all the basic mathematical operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide) along with what I think of as "secondary school" functions (trigonometric functions, standard deviation, powers, standard form) - that is, the kind of things you have to learn for your GCSE Maths! As a physics graduate, I can vouch that this calculator has been of invaluable help to me. Exponentials, manipulations of standard ...  Read the complete review

The casio is a scientific calculator, which has proven to be very useful to me during my a level studies, and my GCSE studies. I have had my casio calcualtor for around 5 years, and it works just as well as it did the first day! It has all the functions that you would expect from a scientific calcualtor, such as trigonometry, logs, natural logs and so on. Also, its layout is really simplistic, which saves time when doing those sums! Furthermore, the buttons are quite large, so you do not normally press two of the buttons at the same time by mistake. This prevent silly errors losing you marks in exams. Another useful thing about this calcualtor is the way that it is ...  Read the complete review
