Re: Free Ti-89 Titanium Calculator to a good home
#12I'm in Pre-Calc H in high school, an my father has been out of work fo a few months, so money is tight. So while everybody has fancy 84s and 89s, I'm stuck with a school issue, really old and slow TI-83. Also, I want to get a computer science/ business degree when I go I college in 2.5 years; both math intensive degrees. Oh and my dream school is MIT haha. So yup I'd love an 89 - besides, I've been reading pstam.com…
Shoot me an email if the OP doesn't set you up. I'm pretty sure I can dig up a sturdy old 89 (I think I had another one as well, 85 maybe?) for you.

#13My little brother is taking Precalc at a community college and a TI-89 and it's magical symbolic manipulation would probably help him get a B instead of a C.
If anyone has an extra used one for the right price I'd probably buy it for him.

#14I'm in Pre-Cal AP at my high school, money's tight and I would love to accept your calculator. The ones they provide at school for free don't have good graphing utilities :/. Anyway, thanks for the consideration, it's nice enough to see someone offer such thing for free. :D Edit: Money's tight at my house, but indraneel24 sounds like he needs it more. Please exclude me from this for his benefit. Thanks!
Well done.

#15Seeing this type of thread here warms my heart. It's really great to see this type of stuff.

#16As a financially challenged high school senior I would need one for my three math classes (Calc, Adv Functs, and Data Mgmt.) and physics in the same semester. Suffice it to say, it will help immensely. With university admissions coming up soon I will definitely use it for my future CS degree, so I can guarantee it a good and productive home.
Thanks.

#17I'm majoring in Math and Computer Science at the University of Toronto. The only reason why I can go here is because I busted my ass off to get a scholarship. And a new TI-89 would really help. :)

#18I don't need it, but I think you should send it to me all the same, just to send a message to all the kids that they really don't need a calculator to do any mathematical stuff. When I worked through my university, I could not afford a calculator, and I dreamed about owning an 89, because all my friends had one. Well, I didn't get one.
And as a result, I can do pretty complex math in my head, and I know how to triple check my calculations to make sure that they not only are correct, but also make sense.
I never owned any calculator, and I came out just fine. The young ones should learn the lesson. And I should finally get the calculator now that I don't need it anymore.
Because that's how life is.

Thanks man, that really means a lot to me. Its selfless things like this that make me really happy to be alive sometimes :]

#20I am collecting calculators. I own HP-28S, HP-48G, TI-74 and TI-92.
In the past I owned an Atari ST and I still remember some M68000 assembly.
With me your calculator will never be forgotten - I use all of them periodically and keep fresh batteries in them.
