I am looking at this for my finance class as well. Does it have a built-in computer algebra system (CAS). If so, I can't use it.

I am not sure if it has CAS, but I know I have used this calculator for finance classes - in fact it was a finance prof who recommended the BA II to the class along with the HP finance calculator. It just depends on whose logic you like - Texas Instruments or HP's. I think the TI logic is more intuitive.

No, you can not use the CAS version of any calculator on the SAT or ACT. You can, however, use the non-cas version of this calculator, and if this is for education, then that is the calculator to purchase, not this one.

You need to be careful on this one- my son has the ES. Some schools will not let you use the calculators with graphing on them! Check with your engineering dept. Also, you might want a different calculator for your math classes. My son has both, but uses the ES for his engineering.

Straight out of the box, no, but you can use the integer zeros from the graph, or integer solutions from equation solver, to find the factors. Also, as AL mentioned, there are CAS programs you can add to it.

Also you can download the manual online. I highly recommend using the manual and actually entering the data entries they show. It really helps show you the expansive abilities this awesome calculator can perform.

Yes, the school my children go to ask specifally for this calculator. My son used his through 6th grade and now will be for 7th. I had to purchase another one due to another child going into 6th grade this year! My soon to be 7th grader said it is a great calculator.

Unknown the TI-NspireCX Cas was requested by my child's school that is the only reason I upgraded from the TI-84.

I have not taken statistics, although I have taken a LOT of advanced Calculus. This calculator honestly does EVERYTHING. It has a spreadsheet, graph, it will do derivatives, integrations, it analyzes matrices, so yes, I believe it will do anything you need it to do in a statistics course. It's spreadsheet is kind of like an excel sheet and will analyze a set of data using various equations and so forth. Yes, I WOULD recommend it for just about ANY math course.

I think the main difference is one is meant exclusively for a finance class. It should have the software or programming to calculate finance problems.

John: I haven't got a clue. The documentation for the PRIME is very sparse, only a started guide in included and I haven't found any program information yet. This one of the resons for commenting that I don't think the calculator is a professional tool, at least not yet.T.W.

Hello, yes, is the same productyes it have CAS (Computer Algebra System)The web site link, http://edu.casio.com/products/cg/cp2/http://www.casio-europe.com/es/sc/casgraphic/

Any Casio fx115 series calculator would be very good through college, and I recommend it for this reason. They can stick with this calculator through college and after when they take the PE (processional engineering) exam as this is on their list of allowed calculators. This way they will always be familiar with it and its operations.

Sorry can't help you. I bought this for my son who is a computer analyst and he was elated to receive it. I guess he already knew how to use it.

i havent' even used it yet. i bought it for my son and he didn't need it yet, he needed a scientific calculator so i got him one of those and figured i would keep this one for me, or him when he gets older. i looked on the package and it looks like it does. you might go on the casio website and ask the question or call them on the tool-free number. sorry i couldn't be of more help

Play the YouTube video, TI-Nspire CX CAS Algebra overview. The TI-Nspire CX CAS inputs and displays math as it appears in your textbook. If you have trouble with Math this is the calculator to buy. The link is http://youtu.be/vxooBetzvvc This is the guide, Ti-NspireTM Guide Algebra Fundamentals: TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS Revealed and Extended (TI-Nspire Innovation in Education Series Book 1) used in the YouTube video.

Yes it does but I would look for another calculator. I have had two and they have both been terrible. This one after the first week just hangs up and won't add the last number unless I bounce it on the desk. Looking for something better myself.

Yes they do. You can enter a stream of cash flows and do various calculations on them like PV, standard deviation, etc., etc. The 12C is the gold standard of financial calculators. You can't go wrong with the functionality. The only problem with newer models is they tend not to have the build quality of the originals.
