TI-Nspire

Started by zbowling · 9 months ago

It’s public now. Texas Instruments, my employer, has announced publicly the TI-Nspire calculator, the project I’ve been working on for the last 8 months. In the US, it should be out to dealers in the fall and be in retail stores for back to school 2008.

    Hello,

    I see the documentation of the NSpire on the TI website but I don't see some features what was part of the classicals TI 68k calcs (TI89 TI92 TI92+ V200).
    For example I don't see how to plot a surface (in a 3D plot). That was possible with TI92 not with NSpire (for now).
    I also don't see if it is possible to program on the calculator (using a sort of TI BASIC). I don't see other languages supports (such as ASM and C... like the SDK that was given by TI for FlashApps)
    So I consider that NSpire is for now just a return behind (behind 68k)
    Even if the processor is much better... even if the GUI is better too (maybe the best) I consider NSpire as a not finished product... I hope that next release of the OS will solve this...
    In my mind a very innovative calc will be a calc that could run a little Linux OS and softwares such a Octave, Scilab...
    Maybe you could say more about NSpire now... for example why "Mono & .Net" tags in this article...

    Regards

    Have a look at
    http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/14...

    it deals with the limited programming capabilities of the TI-NSpire...

    I don't understand why someone like you, who is very envolved in open source project like Mono, can work for a so locked calculator... (I hope it will be modified soon !)

    Hello,
    Congratulations for Nspire – I think it’s a fantastic system.
    I know that you can’t talk on future improvements, but at least you could suggest adding Laplace function to Nspire CAS like Classpad. It’s a very important function for EE courses
    Please, just think about that.

    Thanks

    The programing features on this are seriously in need of a tune-up.
    Do you know how i would go about making a quadratic formula function for it?

    I am new in the math and calculator world, i need to know if in the near future (maybe 1 or 2 years) this calculator will be able to do same or even more tasks than the 89 titanium. If nobody knows this, when te 89 Titanium was released, with the first OS, it was capable of representating 3D Plots?

    The short answer that yes, it will some day or every little thing that the 89 can. Right now it can do most things as well as a bunch of other things the 89 can not.

    I am thinking about getting a TI Nspire. I found this sites pictures helpful. TI Nspire. The interchanging keyboard seems pretty neat. Has anyone had any problems with the interchanging keyboards?

    Has anyone add the CAS to the TI-Nspire?

    Why TI block that option from the TI-Nspire?

    It could be really cool calculator TI-84 + TI-Nspire/TI-Nspire CAS !

    I have the desktop cas software and the hand held cas. I love the stuff but i wish it would work on linux. It is the only reason i am not completely over to Linux from Microsoft. Does anyone have any information on how to get anything related to the n-spire to work on linux. I would be happy if i could just edit and transfer files into the hand held.

    this is an excellent calculator especially because users can program and grasp in a better way the math we should give it a glance before buying don't you think?
