What's the difference between an office calculator and a scientific calculator?

The scientific calculator can perform a lot more mathematical functions than the Office Calculator. For example This scientific calculator can do integration and differentiation and matrix multiplication and even solve multi variable equations..However an office calculator can only do simple mathematics and may include %, it is easier to use but has less features and can only perform basic operations.

Yes, this calculator has a Computer Algebra System that is very sophisticated. The list of built in functions can be obtained by downloading the Operator Manual from the Casio website.

Thanks for your comment. I was going to purchase this, however seeing as how all of the information entered was the same sans age and you got two very different answers, this calculator seems faulty.

Yes, it provides 1 and 2 variable statistical results, including sample and population standard deviations of both x and y. It has a generous collection of functions for statistics, regressions and distributions.Scientific calculators are typically mode based and clear all stored results when a mode switch is required. For example, calculation modes of a Casio might include COMP, CMPLX, STAT, SD, LR or REG, BASE or BASE-n, MAT or MATRIX, VCT or VECTOR, EQN, TABLE. A notable feature of this unit is that calculations are not mode based so statistical results are retained for use in other calculations.

It is a personal choice. The TI calculators are used much more in American text books. So, you may want to use the nspire.

Both are fine calculators with similar price points and similar features. The difference is the Casio has the added touchscreen, which I personally have found very useful. I am glad I went with this and not the TiN CAS.

Either, depending on the OS. It works equally awful if you use MS Office. Use Open Office and it actually runs well.

If you notice when you click on each version (business or retail), the description at the top and bottom of the page is different. For instance the retail version says it controls a multimedia computer. The "business" description doesn't mention that but does mention a hot key for a calculator.

I don't believe there is any physical difference (other than weight) - our office has a variety of printers and, these specifically, as well as others all fit exactly the same

Based on my experience, there is no difference. My coworker uses the same exact one at her desk.

from what I can reasonably tell, resolution is the major difference. reference these two pages for further details,http://www.casio-projectors.eu/uk/products/xja256/andhttp://www.casio-projectors.eu/uk/products/xja155/

The word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation programs are the same. There are other added features, but unless you are doing some database stuff or epublishing, the standard should do just fine.

Actually I have seen a video in you tube combating between Casio calculators and this one. They are all deal with graphing, however Hp prime is faster than the others and easy to use. Watch this video http://youtu.be/2yfYeCGWZrs and the other video to decide which suitable for you.

I have no idea. First calculator I have ever owned with no instruction book. Works fine for all standard calculations, but no hints on situations like yours.

I have never had any reason to look at either of those numbers. I guess I would contact the manufacturer & pose the question there. Or, you could use the old method of trying both types and see if you can find any "difference" (that's my method of solving a question...)" :) :)

sorry but I don't know the difference. If you have the time advise me please. Thanks

The BA Plus/Pro is much faster, more accurate, and cheaper than the HP 12C. It is also much more user-friendly as HP 12 C uses reverse polish notation and the BA Plus Pro uses algebraic notation. You simply cannot go wrong with the BA Plus Pro. If you don't need a calculator as advanced and you just need basic finance such as TVM, etc, the BA Plus is a better choice.
