The best feature is variables. Go into menu 1 and then write something like ax^3+bx^2+cx+d and then press CALC and it prompts you all variables, so great and so easy. It also remembers.
Idea for filming future calculators: Have a separate view of the screen where it's the same video feed, but just zoomed in. I imagine that you could just have the keypad off to the side or something.
I teach HS Math here in the states and I'd never used a Casio calculator until I picked this exact model up on a whim a month ago. So glad I did. I love the thing, and I started recommending it to my students. At $20, it renders their school-required TI-8Xs pretty much obsolete (except for graphing). Only thing I hate are the slippery plastic feet.
I got this calculator when this mailbag video originally came out and have since used it at my HAM radio exam, it has been extremly helpful. Great tool and excellent value.
In Germany, we have the FX-991DE X model, which has a few more functions and is available for 3 years now, I think. It costs about AUD$25 locally. I love this thing and use it every day. But as you said, it would be verry nice to have the engineer symbols right on the numeric pad.
I was confused when he said it was all new because i had the dex for a long time and i love it but i don't like the layout as much as on my old ti 30x, especially having to use shift for recall and pi. Also that it doesn't have persistent history memory. Still, it's unbeatable for 20€
As far as I know, that's just a region specific model with German language. Are there any other differences between this and that too apart from the language?
KaputPictures // This calculator is not needed for gcse at all. I did maths and further maths in gcse and didn’t need this amount of features. I would have this for a-level or engineering
2 years later, Dave, and you made the decision for me simpler. I was after a TI Nspire CX but for $15, IT CAN't BE BEAT! I lost my previous 2, so hey, need one. You are definitely right as well, having a calculator at hand beats phones and laptops anyday. I guess coming from an engineering / math teacher that's not news :)
I have been using this calculator for quite some time now and it is a great calculator. It's not a HP in build quality but for the money you can't beat it. One thing to be aware of is a trap that many calculators have, this one included. Doing something as simple as 6 divided by 2 times the sum of 2+1 you can end up with two different answers depending how you input it into the calculator. Input as 6÷2(2+1) you get the incorrect answer of 1. Input as 6÷2x(2+1) gives the correct answer of 9. Input this either way in another calculator like say a HP35S and it gives the correct answer of 9 both times. Just something to be aware/cautious of when using some calculators. This is something I check on every calculator I buy so I don'g get caught in the trap.
MikesRadioRepair Casio consistently treats an implicit multiplication differently from an explicit one. 2/3x is treated as 2/(3x), and 2/3*x is treated as (2/3)*x. The fx991ex will rewrite the expression to make this clear. The Casio graphical calculators do exactly the same thing. The HP Prime acts differently but it does rewrite the screen to make that obvious. The HP35s does not accept this type of expression in algebraic mode. BTW: the build quality of HP calculators isn’t what it used to be. Which, considering the current price levels, is not that surprising. The original HP35 went for $395 in 1970 (about $2400 in today’s money) The current HP35s goes for $60.
Computer Engineering student. Needed a calculator that could natively do complex/imaginary arithmetic for my AC circuit analysis class and this thing saved my bacon! Fantastic calculator. Likely even allowed on FE/PE exams (the exams you have to take in the US if you want an engineering license to work as a standalone engineer) since the Casio requirements are just "FX-115 or FX-991 in the model name". Only complaint is rare glare at certain angles, and it slides off angled surfaces way too easily since the standoffs molded into the lid and base are just smooth plastic.
I remember having fun solving ODE's numerically (Euler method, was the best it could do, if I remember rightly) on a Casio calculator back in 1994 (can't remember the model number); it was fun watching it chug through the iterations to get to the solution.
I still love my fx-991ES PLUS from 2010 ... I have the fx-82ES as well. But my fx-991ES has served me well through out school, A-levels and university. Funnily in my honours (graduate) year I was using both and Matlab in an exam (we were allowed to due to the number of calculations we had to do). The irony of using an old school calculator + computer software together because Im faster on a Casio than coding it all up
I actually have had this calculator for about 6 months. I got it in a regular russian electronics retail store (official release, with a sticker that it's approved for the russian Unifed State Exam). I boughr for an upcoming physics exam and it does everything that I need, although I'm not really fond of their new design. I was really surprised when you told that my calculator just came out.
I just bought this calculator recently. I am a die hard Sharp calculator user but everyone in my class at college seems to be buying the 991EX so I decided to purchase one to play about with and see what the fuss is about. Straight out of the box I don't like how the slide on cover fits over the front of the calculator when you would be putting in your bag or whatever it seems to stick out a bit. I also really hate the way it does not retain previous calculations after you turn the calculator off or hit the "on" button while using it, it just wipes all your previous calculations. That is what I love about the Sharp. It will retain previous calculations for ages, one time I didn't use my calculator for 2 weeks and my previous calculations were still on it when I went back. I will still use this Casio from time to time and I might grow to like it.
Excellent review and good quality camera. Picks up the details nice and clearly. You can navigate to the selected menu and press = to select if you wish to select that rather than the number....Personally I prefer VPAM lol
I literally just bought this calculator a few weeks ago in preparation for university. It was one of the few they allow on tests according to their website. :p
I love that new calculator. It’s my favorite everyday user, although I was brought up like you. Every kid should have one. But when you get older those small exponents are harder to read than on the older model when you need reading glasses or bifocals. Still I put up with that.
You mentioned you're not sure if it's available anywhere but India... I got mine here in the United States about a month ago, it's widely available here. $19 on Amazon with free Prime shipping, even!
I think that eventually the "menu setup" button will migrate to the middle of the selection buttons. Casio should minimize the error messages by allowing the old input method, all they need is to do is to autocorrect into the "visually perfect" method.
If by old input you mean like typing 1/2(could not find the correct symbol in unicode) for fractions instead of the fancy template, you can go to setup and select input/output and select LineI/LineO and it will be like a MS series calculator
Well I got the fx-991DEX quite a while ago (about 2 years) and it looks exactly the same. I could order it directly from amazon in Germany. It is really a nice calculator. Edit: Complex numbers was so damn helpful in the uni :)
I have a Casio FX-991DE X, it is the same calculator only with german menus. So it is available in other countries but may have a different model number. Edit: The left arrow works as a backbutton and = as Enter.
I only used the old style calculator input for a few months and never got the calculator to do what I wanted. Only issue I have with the new X variant is that you have to press shift to recall values. Oh, and it has been available in Germany for a few years.
Needed this one for 3 years of school. Switched to a graphical one for the last 2 years of school. What I love is that you can use the various variables. Input an equation and than use CALC to calculate different variables. Table is also really powerful once you know the buttons.
I felt off my chair when you pulled your 'swiss knife'. When you do a simple addition on these, such as 45+234+345+232= does it show all the numbers at same time on the screen, each number on a different line?
This calculator is in other countries, but the name is a little different, for example: In middle East where I live the model is fx-991AR X, since AR stands for Arabic Display and it doesn't have the mode #7 on the EX model.
The real question is whether or not they will allow this on school engineering tests. The FX-991MS is a 100% solid bet. This one seems to dance along the line of what they would consider too extensive.
Actually it's my daily driver, is pretty good and cheap. I'm in a engineering career and in my tests they don't let you use a programmable calculator, so this is no non sense choice
(I'm in germany), I have written half of my university exams with this calculator without any problems. For us it is quite easy to figure out, if the calculator is approved by the ministry of education for the math exams to finish school ist is also allowed for university.
In Germany we have the FX-991DE X since 3 years, which is just the german version of this one. It is our university standard for non-progeammable calculators and recommended from the universities to use. So it´s also allowed for exams here.
But it cannot do everything with complex numbers like for example the HP42S did. You can download the Free42 app for Android and check out its powerful complex number features!
Yeah, one thing worth noting operation input order. My old casio fx-10F (older than I am, 30 years going strong) uses reverse polish notation (RPN) the fx-991EX uses PN instead. You can either get: - used to it - a new one you decide. Just gotta get used to it. My friend complained for days about his RPN calculator.
Neither RPN or PN. In RPN you calculate 1+2 by pressing 1 enter 2 +. Sure with functions modern calculators put the function before the operand. There are cases+ where the older system where one has always one number visible an then does calculations to it is better but overall the formula entry is better. If you eant to take a square root of the value on the display instead of just square root, you enter square root, Ans, =. In the line-io mode it is enough to enter square root =.
Available in Norway, has been for at least a year. Standard at my school, and I like it, not as much as i like my old ti-84plus , but the equation is so much easier on this one. I do find that i would have loved to have the display tilted just a mm up on the top. Not wery easy to read the display from the table when just punching in stuf. Needs to be hold in the hand to show a good image.
I've been using Casio calculators for most of my life. Most of which has been the perfectly algebraic types. I've just gotten used to the way of inputting on that type
You can, but one needs a little patience and some tricks! I think people were more smart back in the days when machines could do relatively less functions. Now it is like: the smarter the machines the dumber we get.
I’ve had this calculator for about 3! months. It’s a fantastic calculator. I added a printout list of the stored constants to the inside of the cover. It’s a little confusing navigating through the constants menu without this list.
Wish I could get that Casio with TI-85 keys (my all-time favourite tactile sensation of any calculator I've come across - the screen was a bit hard to read on the TI, though)
But does it have functions for ohms law calculation and other electronics formulas or do you still have to calculate them manually? I have electronics applications (electrodroid for example) on my phone and tablet but a dedicated device with real buttons that has the same or similar features/functions would be much faster to use. Its instant on and I wouldn't need to load an application.
I'm a programmer (that other kind of engineer). Is there a physical calculator that works like those computer based equivalents? I.e displays 32bit binary in decimal, hex and octal at the same time?
In my FX 991ms I can access the engineering symbols just pressing shift + 1,9 and I love it. Looks a bit too much hassle doing 3 steps for that. Too much functions and you ended up with a lot of compromises of the "basic" functions. The FX 991ms is a good all around
MS has an annoying bug that if you calculate Ans+1 and then store it into memory it will recalculate it storing a wrong value. This was a major reason I bought the fx-991EX
Its the same as the old fx 991ES.. just some changes in the UI. The UI changes unfortunately(or fortunately) make it more accessible to new students and confuses the veteran users of the old 991ES
In France we have a slightly downgraded version of this calculator (less functions, no solar cell) since 2 years and it's made of green plastic (Casio Fx-92 Speciale College). I don't know why we have a special version but other countries might have special versions.
Does this have the annoying feature that when you press a function like sin or square root, it will add the parenthesis and you need to close it? For this I prefer by fx-115W even though it lacks the multi line call back.
I bought that calculator last year because it looked amazing but literally, I NEVER used it even once. It's just sitting on my table alongside my other calculators. I love cals mahn.!
yeah, here in eastern EU (V4 in fact) they released "FX-991CEX" ;-) ... and may be , combined with 991EX its small step to English teaching too (math and logic is needed to teach better again, so early) ... BUT the new firmware 3.20 for FX-CG50 includes MicroPython 1.9.4, nice too ...

What a great calculator! I ordered mine after seeing the Mailbag video a couple of years ago and I've used it every day since.
cheers, I've been tempted by these for months
Used this one for over a year now, it's absolutely good! It is well available at my school in the Netherlands.
in the UK the FX-991EX is the standard calculator in my college for A level Maths now
Teachers recommend this calculator for GCSE too but it's still mostly FX85GT

New Casio and just been released.... I bought it 2 years ago in Hungary. Exactly the same :D
Got one off Amazon for $18.32 US today. Sweet!
The table is great, as it does allow to add a increment with a simple + or - hit instead of add row and manually enter something.
I’ve bought the same model from an authorised seller at Dhaka, Bangladesh. The look and functionality are nice. It took 1500 BDT or around 17.9 USD.

I've been using Casio calculators for most of my life. Most of which has been the perfectly algebraic types. I've just gotten used to the way of inputting on that type
I don't get how people can enter long formulas into regular 7 segment calculators. VPAM makes much more sense to me.
For most everyday stuff I do I don't have to use long formula
You can, but one needs a little patience and some tricks! I think people were more smart back in the days when machines could do relatively less functions. Now it is like: the smarter the machines the dumber we get.

But does it have functions for ohms law calculation and other electronics formulas or do you still have to calculate them manually? I have electronics applications (electrodroid for example) on my phone and tablet but a dedicated device with real buttons that has the same or similar features/functions would be much faster to use. Its instant on and I wouldn't need to load an application.
I'm a programmer (that other kind of engineer). Is there a physical calculator that works like those computer based equivalents? I.e displays 32bit binary in decimal, hex and octal at the same time?
Maybe SwissMicros DM42. It's an improved HP42. www.swissmicros.com/dm42.php
Ti Nspire CX Cas or HP prime
This one can, but you have to switch between screens, using DEC, BIN, HEX, OCT keys.
I will have to get one. I have to know I have every Casio calculator, and I am working towards every TI one too.
so I am not the only one buying calculators I do not need.
I need them all. if I had more money I would try to get examples of every calculator, especially a Type 1 and 2 Curta.
When something says "Handle with care" I also get the the biggest knife I can find
In my FX 991ms I can access the engineering symbols just pressing shift + 1,9 and I love it.
Looks a bit too much hassle doing 3 steps for that.
Too much functions and you ended up with a lot of compromises of the "basic" functions.
The FX 991ms is a good all around
MS has an annoying bug that if you calculate Ans+1 and then store it into memory it will recalculate it storing a wrong value. This was a major reason I bought the fx-991EX
@@okaro6595 mmm, I don't remember the last time that I used the memory function.
I write everything on paper anyway, or just in brain
@@fersunk I constantly use memory. Memory is also the only thing that survives power down.
Its the same as the old fx 991ES.. just some changes in the UI. The UI changes unfortunately(or fortunately) make it more accessible to new students and confuses the veteran users of the old 991ES
Cool, I have the same series but mine is the 570EX without a solar panel
Please give a review about Casio FX- 991 ES Plus scientific calculator.
In France we have a slightly downgraded version of this calculator (less functions, no solar cell) since 2 years and it's made of green plastic (Casio Fx-92 Speciale College). I don't know why we have a special version but other countries might have special versions.
Integrated Electronics in Singapore, we have the fx 96 sg plus
not slightly downgraded. It lacks many more functions.
Casio FX-991 calculators (all variants) are approved for school exams in all subjects in New Zealand.
Does this have the annoying feature that when you press a function like sin or square root, it will add the parenthesis and you need to close it? For this I prefer by fx-115W even though it lacks the multi line call back.
They do not tell the power consumption on solar models but the non-solar version SX-570EX uses 0.0006 W, slightly more than the ES-model.
I bought that calculator last year because it looked amazing but literally, I NEVER used it even once. It's just sitting on my table alongside my other calculators. I love cals mahn.!
Use it please.
I bought one of the a while ago also from India, never used it though
I like the new carbon fiber look!
Want to get your old school geek on, I have a Sharp EL-5520 in working order with the memory card from 1985.
yeah, here in eastern EU (V4 in fact) they released "FX-991CEX" ;-) ... and may be , combined with 991EX its small step to English teaching too (math and logic is needed to teach better again, so early)
... BUT the new firmware 3.20 for FX-CG50 includes MicroPython 1.9.4, nice too ...
It has been available in Europe for a few years now.
Damn you! Now I have to go out there and get one
You don't have to... but you will anyway.
