@renas100redos Not sure what you mean. There is no other keypad available for the TI-Nspire CAS, only the TI-Nspire. With the release of the TI-Nspire CX and CX CAS, the days of the interchangeable keypads are over anyway.
@MegaTech121 Yes, check out the link in the description box to learn more about the all new TI-Npsire CX CAS and read a comparison of it to the TI-89 Titanium.
@loco15912 For the 84 keypad, no indefinite, only definite, and I'm pretty sure only integrals and derivatives. Also, the TI-Nspire CAS doesn't accept the TI-84 keypad, and none of the of the TI-Nspire CX models accept the the TI-84 keypad. A lot has changed since I made this video last summer. I suggest checking out the link in the description box for an up-to-date explanation. I just updated the captions on the video to try to steer people that way.
@loco15912 No, you can't do that. The TI-84 keypad will not fit into a TI-Nspire CAS. They are slightly different builds to make this impossible. The new TI-Nspire CX series (CAS and non-CAS) doesn't even have interchangeable keypads, so if that's important to you, shop carefully for the correct model.
The Equation Writer program, which can be be downloaded from TI's website ($15), allows you to enter all entries on the Ti-89 or Ti89 Titanium in so-called pretty print (referred to as "math print" in this video). It provides the templates for summations, limits, integrals (even triple integrals), and more, just like the newer nSpire does. Furthermore, the original Ti89 looks exactly like an 83, allowing you to easily swap the cover screen and use it in math classes where it is prohibited.
One very TERRIBLE thing about the TI-89 is there is no key for the log function. Its not even marked on the calculator. You have to press * 7 to open it up. Shame on you, Texas Instruments
@jawnintendo I asked TI that question, and I was told "later this Spring." I would guess it will coincide pretty closely with the release of the Nspire CX in April, but I can't say for sure that they'll happen at the same time.
@jawnintendo Yep, this video is about to become outdated. Nspire OS 3.0 has 3D and much more. TI actually gave me a sneak preview of the color TI-Nspire CX and OS 3.0 ahead of the public announcement. I've got a full article up about the TI-Nspire CX and OS 3.0 on the Tech Powered Math website. Check it out.
As for gaming purposes when you're bored during class, the Ti nspire has a game boy emulator. You have to find the Os 1.1 though, which is a pain in the ass since TI stopped releasing it. The graphics are much better than those of a Ti-Titanium because the nspire has native grayscale, but the Ti-titanium is a lot easier to get games on. Without ndless for the nspire, the nspire pretty much is as fun as a brick since it can't run ASM. As for the titanium, it can run a emulator but not as well.
@Jacky1492 And BTW, whoever mentioned that you can't run 3D graphs on a nspire, the people who made ndless, are also making a titanium emulator, which a huge plus because the non-cas can run the ti-84 os too.
The 89 Titanium has 3D graphing where the Nspire CAS does not. However, I would say the Nspire CAS is better in just about every other way. It has true mathprint (meaning you type what you see in the book, not calculator code) and the graphing features are much easier to use. Pretty much, you just learn how to trace, and it automatically finds everything else like zeros, max/min, etc. You may want to read the review I have posted in the more info tab to get all of the differences.
The only thing useful about these calculators is the symbolic math and history, but mostly history. Being able to check the numbers you just typed in for something like a Taylor series is a lifesaver. Otherwise, if you can't handle math with just a scientific calculator, then you need to stop with the graphing calculators. One semester, I got through calculus, linear algebra, and discrete math without a calculator, and finished the finals before anybody else (I ended up with all A's).
@incripshin I have to disagree. A lot of people shopping for a graphing calculator are taking AP Calc. Simple scientific calculators are banned from that test--only graphing calcs are allowed.There are plenty of uses like finding zeros of difficult to solve functions or max/min when it's difficult to differentiate. Sure, you could find zeros of some complicated functions using Newton's method and a scientific calc (or a slide ruler), but nobody wants to do that. Congrats on the A's without. :)
@TechPoweredMath One thing I should have said is that calculators are also fine for finding numerical solutions, provided that it is only secondary. Sort of like a statistics problem that involves combinations (I actually remember doing those by hand, too). By no means should a question ever be: 'using your calculator, approximate the roots of some polynomial'. Much better: 'find an exact solution; otherwise, use four steps of the Newton's method'. Anyway, PSEO is a *much* better option than AP.
@TechPoweredMath Also, thanks for the review. I'm not in the market, but just curious. Also, I'm not sure about symbolically entering equations. I used Maple at some point and hated it.
@incripshin Thanks for watching! I agree that we're going to move beyond stand-alone graphing calculators in the future, but I think that's a long ways off. They do open up a lot of different ways of learning/problem solving, but only if the teacher/professor knows how to use them as part of instruction. It's not hard to teach lessons, write problems, etc. that don't require them, and that's still what many teachers do. The smart students, like yourself, will "get it" no matter how it's taught.
@arlinda55 Anything's possible, but it's unlikely we'll see that soon. There have only been two major touchscreen lines released, the Sharp EL-9600, which bombed, and the Casio ClassPad, which has had some success but is banned on every standardized test. Any future touchscreen calculator would have to be approved by either ACT or SAT to gain widespread acceptance. I guess you never know. iPhone, Android, etc. are becoming so popular, they probably can't hold it back forever.
hi.. i'm taking ap calculus this year in high school...but i can't decidedin whether i should get the ti-89 titanium or the ti-nspire cas for the course....plus i also want to choose a calculator that i can use through out college...
@blue4heart They're both good. Our article comparing them in more detail on our website is in the info box for this vid.
The nSpire CAS has the latest bells and whistles and is easier to use. The TI-89 has been around longer, so it might be more accepted at certain schools. The learning curve is a little steeper with the 89.
If you still have questions, post on our brand new forum at our website. Not many posters yet, so you'll get lots of attention there. We can write longer responses.
well, im in 4th year of EE. just got the 89 6 months ago and drooling over this nspire.
however, its completely unnecessary to have one of these for calculus because 1. ive never had a math class that allowed anything more than something along the line of ti-34.
2. calculus courses are 20% calculus and 80% algebra. its nice to have a graphing calculator in calc 1 to check you roots, inflection points, and max and mins but not needed. calc2 and 3, easier without it.
@mlemm99 Although it may be that you didn't need a graphing calculator for your coursework, blue4heart is actually asking about AP calculus. The college board has changed the calculator rules. Simple scientific calculators like a TI-30 or TI-34 are banned. If you want to use a calculator for the AP test, you are only allowed to use a graphing calculator. They actually won't let you bring anything else in for the test. Most end up choosing between the TI-89 and TI-Nspire CAS for AP Calc.

Does the Ti Nspire Cas (Touch Pad) has the feature of plugging the Ti-84 pad?
ASAP, please planning on purchasing this one, if it has the compatibility of the Ti-84 pad.
