<div style="text-align: center; "> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/01/texas-instruments-ti-83-plus-review/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img alt="Image" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/ti83plusreview3.jpg" /></a></div>The year was 1999. I was pondering all too carefully what kind of threads I'd be wearing come the new school year. But all I could <em>really</em> think about was exactly how much of my styling budget would be blown on some antediluvian piece of technology that -- in my mind -- was no longer necessary due to the invention of the internet. That hunk was Texas Instruments' TI-83 Plus. So far as I could understand it, the "Plus" meant that it had a few extra megabytes of RAM; why you needed loads of RAM in a graphing calculator, I had no idea. At $119.99, it was the most expensive purchase I made leaving middle school, and now that I've had well over a decade to toy with it, it's about time I sat down and gave it a proper review. Join me after the break, won't you? <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/texas-instruments-ti-83-plus-gallery/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus gallery</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/texas-instruments-ti-83-plus-gallery/4915030?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/dsc02105_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/texas-instruments-ti-83-plus-gallery/4915031?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/dsc02106_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/texas-instruments-ti-83-plus-gallery/4915032?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/dsc02107_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/texas-instruments-ti-83-plus-gallery/4915033?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/dsc02108_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/texas-instruments-ti-83-plus-gallery/4915034?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/dsc02109_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div>

The college's Medical and Electromechanical Design Laboratory (MED Lab) is working on an Android app that turns tablets into a teaching aid for the visually impaired. Areas of math that rely heavily on visual elements, such as algebra and calculus, prove problematic for students with poor eyesight. A common solution involves pipe cleaners, a cork board and push pins, to recreate graphs, but the method is quite slow. The MED Lab is looking to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/hapticfeedback?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">haptic feedback</a> as a way to help the visually impaired identify lines, graph points and other data that is normally represented visually. For more details about the project check out the video after the break.

	Well, Google's gone an done it, turning the Internet into one giant graphing calculator. The software behemoth has brought graphing capabilities to search, letting users input a mathematical function into the engine -- or multiple functions, separated by commas. And, this being Google, users can explore the graphs more closely by zooming in and out and panning across. According to the company, it "covers an extensive range of single variable functions including trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic and their compositions." If you know what all of that means, we're guessing you're pretty psyched about this news.</div>

Graphing calculators: essential tools for math education or low-res Game Boys? The debate rages on. Advocates of non-mathematical applications for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/graphing+calculator/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">the devices</a> have scored a major victory with the introduction of Gossamer, a new web browser for various TI graphing calculators, which lets users visit some very basic versions of webpages, using the CALCnet and globalCALCnet protocols. The 1.0 version can request, display, and scroll pages. Logging in will bring you to a portal with links -- the application's developer has promised to add the ability to directly enter URLs in a future version, however. There's a demo video after the break, though you may want to wait until after math class to check it out.

It may have been hard to believe when it was <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/28/ti-nspire-graphing-calcs-get-full-color-displays-3d-wifi-and/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">announced</a> back in February, but you can rest assured that Texas Instruments' new <em>color</em> TI-Nspire CX calculator is indeed real, and shipping right now. Assuming you're ready to make the jump from monochrome, the $165 asking price will buy you a 3.2-inch 320 x 240 display, 100MB of storage, 64MB of memory, and TI's new version 3.0 operating system that comes complete with 3D graphing capabilities. Of course, TI isn't completely breaking new ground here -- Casio's had <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/09/casio-debuts-prizm-graphing-calculator-with-high-res-color-scr/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">a graphing calculator</a> with a "high res" color screen since <em>way back</em> in 2010.<br />
<br />
