thanks a lot for the replies so far :)

Hmmm, the graphing Casio calcs are way different than the scientific ones (though TI ones don't ressemble them much). Also 10^n does exist on every calc.

Again TI calcs are as good as Casio ones if not better IMHO. Though keep in mind I'm not forcing you to get a TI calc, just that I prefer them. ;)

I got many calcs, most Casios but some TIses, and here is my opinion about monochrome ones:
With the Casio, the only advantage IMHO is the C SDKs, but that won't help doing math. THey have a quite good UI, enough intuitive. THeir bigger scrren (the monochromes one) can help seeing the graphs/stats.
THe best monochrome Casio simple calc for math is obviously the Graph100+, way outdated but still have a CAS. Except the Graph100+ there is the Classpad, more expensive and powerful, and has a touchpad screen and a CAS.

THe TIses are a bit less intuitiv, but when you get the grasp, it's quite easy to get fast some formulas. THey don't have a CAS ofr the 83/84/5, but the 89/92/VOyager are powerful, easy to use and have a well done CAS.
THe best TI calc for maths is obviously the 89+ or 92/voyager if you prefer having a full alphabetical keyboard.

FOr the monochrome ones the best calc for math for long term studies are the 89/92/Voyager. THey are powerful, simple, and quite useful for long math studies.

What I like about Casio calcs other than the AFX/g100/CP models is that the interface and button layout has been identical since 1990, even on the PRIZM. As a result it is not too hard to switch from a graphical model to another.

However, the menu names are confusing, so finding your commands can be hard. Also BASIC is much slower than on TI calcs (although it's not that bad on the FX-9860G/g85 models)

Eiyeron:
Wait, the AFX and the others don' thave the same UI. Some functions are placed womewhere else, like plot and equality functions...

DJ Omnimaga:
Yeah the AFX has different menus, hence why I said "other than the AFX/g100/CP". The AFX menus are more like the ones on the HP 39gII and HP Prime calculators, as well as the OS 2.55MP keypad shortcuts. I should probably have mentionned the FX-7000g as well lol. And yeah just to tell how much cheaper some Casio calcs are, here are the prices of calcs in Canada from lowest to highest (before sale):

FX-9750GII: $60
FX-9860GII: $90
FX-9860GIIs: $90
FX-cg10: $130
TI-83 Plus: $130
TI-84 Plus: $143
TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition: $160
Classpad 400: $170
TI-Nspire CX: $170
TI-89 Titanium: $180
TI-Nspire CAS Touchpad: $180
TI-Nspire CX CAS: $200
HP 50g: $208

By the way, anyone knows what's the FX-9860GIIs? I never heard about it before ???
