TI-15 Explorer is a calculator designed by Texas Instruments, intended for use in classes from grades 3-5. It is the successor to the TI-12 Math Explorer. For younger students, TI recommends the use of the TI-10. For older students, TI recommends the use of the TI-73 Explorer.
Features include a 2-line pixel display (as opposed to the 7-segment display of several other calculators), and a quiz-like "problem-solving" mode. It also supports limited scientific capabilities, such as parentheses, fixed decimal, fractions, pi, and exponents. It is recommended by Everyday Mathemathics.
Famous quotes containing the word explorer:
“Treading the soil of the moon, palpating its pebbles, tasting the panic and splendor of the event, feeling in the pit of one’s stomach the separation from terra ... these form the most romantic sensation an explorer has ever known ... this is the only thing I can say about the matter. The utilitarian results do not interest me.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
