Product Description All the familiar capabilities of current TI scientific calculators plus a host of powerful enhancements. Designed with unique features that allow you to enter more than one calculation, compare results and explore patterns, all on the same screen. Scroll through previous entries and investigate critical patterns as well as viewing and pasting previous entries or answers into a new calculation. Quickly view fractions and decimals in alternate forms. "Toggle" the answer with one button to see outcomes in different representations, including changing answers between the exact form of fractions, pi terms and square root expressions, where possible, into decimal approximation format. Dual Power (solar and battery) Enter and view calculations in common Math Notation via the MATHPRINT mode, including symbolic pi, stacked fractions, exponents and exact square roots. Up to 4 lines of Display - Ability to enter more than one calculation, compare results and explore patterns, all on the same screen
College Algebra & Elementary StatisticsNovember 16, 2008 This is a great calculator. It is easy to learn to use. There is no need to worry. Just enter the problem in just as you see it on the test or the textbook using the Mathprint mode and it just kicks out the answer. I love it and highly recommend it.

I am impressed by the tactile response of the keyboard. I'm stunned by the features available for the price. (Years ago I agonized between buying a TI calculator that determined square root or an air conditioner. It was hot in my apartment and I had to derive square roots manually.) I especially liked the 4 line display as opposed to the Casio FX-115ES. I have found the ability to retrace more than forty calculations to be very handy too.
awesome for a scientific calculator!August 29, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This calculator is really great. A nice upgrade on the regular TI-30XIIS. I hate the <> button because it's where the "+" button should go. But if you just need a basic scientific calculator, or need to do some basic statistics, this calculator is perfect. Not nearly as awesome as the TI83 or TI89, but when you're not allowed to use those calculators for whatever reason this new calculator is way cool! MultiView rocks and so does the pretty math type!
Extremely capable despite the low priceJuly 9, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My work involves a lot of exchange rates and foreign currency conversions. Really I was looking for a calculator I could program. Enter the exchange rate (which vary from day to day), other conversions like the factor from lbs to kilos. But time was short and a shop with the more expensive programmable calculators meant a special trip into town.
Here in Australia Officeworks (a sort of stationary Home Depot warehouse) have a very liberal return policy (7 days if you're not happy). So on this basis on a Friday night I bought a TI-30XB which is the battery version of teh TI=#)XS with a very attractive bright green in place of where the blue is on the 30XS.
This calculator has the abilty to store 6 constants x,y,z,a,b,c. So in my case I have 2.20468 stored as "x" (this converts lbs to kilos), AUD/USD exchange rate as "y"
For my work the mathview and relatively large screen are excellent. The calculator turns itself off automatically after a few mins if you're not using it. But if you turn it back on, you can scroll back miles if you wish and see all your old calcuations. Plus if you add 2+2 for example you on the next line down use that answer (ans) to do another calc.
While not strictly programmable I've used the data view (there's a data button to access this) to set up a table showing conversions from USD lb to AUD kg.. one of my main conversions. You can change costs in the first column and they reflect in the 2nd.
I'm trying to go digital here and away from printed Excel pages with conversions etc. Since getting this calculator, all the other calculators in the office are gathering dust. The two features above have me equally won.
For my applications this calculator although not small does the job. Over time we will see if we need a more sophisticated one but at the moment this is working beautifully.
Missing a LOT of functions normally found on other calculatorsJune 30, 2008 7 out of 9 found this review helpful
I had been researching calculators for use on standardized exams now that many of the graphing calculators are banned.
The HP 33/35 calculators are too expensive and too "antiquated" to be of any use to me. I liked the TI-30XS MultiView because of the large display, but I later found out the 30XS MV lacked many features found on the Casio FX-115ES and even other TI graphing calculators. After evaluating the FX-115ES and TI-30XS MV, I came to the conclusion that the FX-115ES is by FAR the superior calculator.
The TI-30XS MV is too basic of a calculator. I'd recommend it for elementary school use, perhaps even for algebra. For example it is unable to evaluate integrals or differentials and there is no direct option to select different logarithm bases using the 30XS. The 30XS also lacks the ability to process matrices. The 30XS does not recognize the imaginary domain, hence the lack of "i" or "j" (try to do square root of -1). This makes the 30XS useless for engineers that have to deal with the imaginary domain for vectors, polar math, etc... That reminds me, the 30XS cannot handle phasor angles intuitively. There's a whole menu system for angles that I have yet to figure out. One would imagine the creator of the TI-8x graphing calculators would make a half-way decent scientific calculator, but instead we end up with a children's calculator.
Pros: Affordable scientific calculator, dual-power supply (Solar and battery), TI interface (intuitive for existing TI users), nice display
Cons: Funky hard-cover (doesn't slide in place like all other TI calculators), lack of a large number of important features.
Bottom line: I recommend looking at the Casio FX-115ES instead of the TI-30XS MultiView, although the TI-30XS MV isn't physically a bad calculator. I just felt it was too basic at the price. I recommend passing on the TI-30XS Multiview.
