You'll need a copy of the latest fxRemote, a copy of the latest available fx-9860GII BIOS, the USB cable that connects your calculator to the computer, and finally a relatively fresh set of batteries. Casio’s 9750 series is the budget alternative in a lineup of Casio graphing calculators that is already the affordable alternative to Texas Instruments. You just have to enter the graphing app and then you will be able to enter functions in a list and then press [F6] for draw and your lines will be graphed. So if you are already familiar with BASIC, or you have programmed other calculators, programming this one won’t be too hard to learn how to do.

You can obtain PDF manuals for the fx-9750GII, and these manuals will also cover the fx-9860GII/fx-9860GII-SD, with small changes as noted in those manuals.Not the current solar powered model but excellent value for money and came complete with instructions and Casio software DVD ROM. This is one of the smaller graphing calculators on the market, but it’s still big enough to see the screen clearly, and the buttons are a nice size as well.

The newer model uses a SH4a CPU, has a white case shell, with a deep blue keyboard surround, and is informally known as the fx-9750GII-2. While it does lack some of the features that many other graphing calculators these days have, it does a very solid job of hitting all the main functions and capabilities that all graphing calculators should have. Casio markets itself as a simple to use and affordable alternative to their competitors, and that once again turns out to be true. Later upgrades for the 9750gII/9860gII also remove the vector operations in favour of functionality suitable for examinations. It may be out of fear of loosing sales of the fx9860gii as a consequence, but that may not have happened because it's sturdier, has a bigger display panel, and the SD versions of it offer memory expansion via SD cards.If you just need a solid calculator for home or for high school and don’t care for the extra often unused features, you won’t find a better deal than this.
