Calculators - The Need for Speed

Follow
Scott Collins

A viewer commented on the vast difference in speed between the TI36X Pro and the CASIO fx991EX it's something I am very aware of, but not something that is much of a factor in terms of the way I typically use the calculator.

I thought he made a good point and that I would make a short video showing just how different the speed is between a variety of calculators when estimating a definite integral.

LEADERBOARD:
[Some other info collected from comments and my own experimentation since the video was made]
Free42 (HP42 sim on smartphone) nearly instantaneous (1E09 precision)
Free42 (HP42 sim on smartphone) 0.5 s (1E30 precision)
CASIO fxCG50 less than 0.5 s
TINspire CX CAS less than 1 s
CASIO fx9860GII less than 1 s
