Our take on the Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX II CAS

The TI-Nspire CX II CAS is Texas Instruments' top graphing calculator for students who need computer algebra. It solves equations symbolically, factors and simplifies expressions, and handles calculus, matrices and complex numbers, all on a color screen. It graphs in 3D, plots parametric and polar curves and handles differential equations. It suits advanced math, engineering and science students, especially where a CAS is allowed. It is heavier and more complex than the TI-84 Plus CE, and its CAS is banned on some standardized tests.

Best forAdvanced algebra, calculus and engineering studentsCourses that allow or require a CASSAT and ACT test takers who need a non-CAS modeStudents who want 3D and parametric graphing
Pros
  • Computer algebra solves equations symbolically
  • Color screen with 3D, polar and parametric graphing
  • Handles matrices, complex numbers and differential equations
  • Programmable with USB connectivity
  • Rechargeable battery
Cons
  • CAS is banned on the SAT, ACT and some other exams
  • Steeper learning curve than the TI-84 Plus CE
  • Heavier and bulkier than basic graphing models
  • Menu-driven interface slows simple calculations

Questions and answers

Is the TI-Nspire CX II CAS allowed on the SAT or ACT?
No. The SAT and ACT ban calculators with computer algebra systems, so this model is not allowed. The non-CAS TI-Nspire CX II is accepted.
How is it different from the TI-Nspire CX II?
The CAS version adds symbolic algebra: it solves equations exactly and simplifies expressions. The standard CX II gives numeric answers only.
How does it compare with the TI-84 Plus CE?
It does far more math, including symbolic algebra and 3D graphing, but has a steeper learning curve. The TI-84 Plus CE is simpler and lighter and is accepted on more tests.
Does it need batteries?
It has a rechargeable battery charged over USB. A full charge lasts through typical class and homework use.
What is in the box?
The calculator, a USB cable and a getting-started guide. A unit-to-unit link cable is not always included, so check before buying.
Can you program it?
Yes. It supports TI-Basic and Python programming, and you can transfer files over USB.
