The Sharp EL-W516TBSL is a four-line scientific calculator with a 16-character-per-line dot-matrix display, dual solar and battery power, and Sharp's WriteView entry, which lets you type expressions as they appear in a textbook. It covers the usual advanced territory: fractions, constants, unit conversions, statistics, complex numbers and a large set of functions. It suits high school and college students in algebra, physics and engineering courses who want a full-featured non-graphing calculator. Against the TI-36X Pro and Casio fx-991 models it holds its own on features, though its menu layout and key feel divide users more than those rivals do.
