Hello, this is my first post here. I'm from Argentina and I'm studying engineering. Currently, I'm using a Casio Fx 570ES. So far this calculator has been enough and I don't know of anyone in my school  who had needed a powerful calculator to get the degree.
As far as I've seen about this calculators, I would find pretty handy the extra memory to store more conversion factors or constants. Even though I don't know how the programming tools work, I think I could find a way to store for example  long formulas, right? I will not need graphics tools at all (just regression to calculate interpolation in tables), Stats, equation solver (especially for 3 unknown), integrals, derivatives functions are important.

So guys, what do you think? should I buy one of those calculators or my Fx570ES should be enough?

thank you!

Hello alc112, welcome to Omnimaga! Not knowing to much about either calculator, I can't say. From what I hear though, Engineers usually like Calculators with a CAS. Mainly the HP 50G or the TI-89.

DJ Omnimaga:
The good thing with the 9750 series is that it would allow you to create programs to automate some of your math tasks. The program editor can also be used to store formulas and notes, but make sure that it is allowed at math tests before doing so. I'm unsure if the calculator has an equation solver since it has been a long while since I have used mine.

In any case, if your school don't require more than your current calculator, then you should be fine with it. Someone who got a FX-9750G series would have to confirm if it features everything you want that you mentionned, though.

How much does that calculator cost where you live by the way? Over here when it's on sale it isn't that much more expensive than a scientific calculator (in Canada, the 9750G+ model was $25 while the 9750GII model is $50-60), but outside USA and Canada Casio calcs are sometimes very expensive.

* Streetwalker recommends the TI-84+, TI-89 or HP Prime* Streetwalker runs

DJ Omnimaga:
Except that those calcs are at least $60 higher than the 9750G.
