Re: TI-89 Titanium or HP 50G?
TI-89
More expensive
Traditional input similar to how you write equations
More people know how to use it (as far as peers)
HP 50G
Cheaper ($)
Must learn RPN notation
RPN is more efficient input method
It really depends on what interface you prefer. Something else you may want to consider: I'm a Junior at Kettering University in Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Physics and I only have an 83, you don't need the computer algebra system for every major. I have a friend who just uses a normal calculator for everything no fancy graphs or X's, just +, -, *, /, ^, ln.
My brother is a senior in computer science and he hasn't touched his calculator (because I stole it) in 2 years, since he finished multivariate calculus.
