Disclaimer: I am by no means a wiz at math and I can totally appreciate that in the right/gifted hands, this calculator could be played like a violin by a virtuoso and do miraculous stuff. :) That said, for mere mortals looking to get a graphing calculator, if you're interested in the fx-CG500, I'd suggest either waiting for a sale, getting it used, or if possible, holding out for the next generation. After all, this device has been out for many years now, and as far as I can tell, Casio has made nary a tweak to the firmware. I didn't investigate, but a new one be just around the corner. What don't I like? So far, several little things. First, yes, that big screen is sweet, but it sacrifices a comfortable physical button pad. I initially though the cursor button on my unit was defective, but I've found that you really have to hit it right to navigate with it, especially when pushing in the "down" direction. It's sluggish, and it's easy to hit the Variable keys directly below it. Second, I know this probably isn't a big deal to a lot of people, but entering a mixed number on this thing is way clunkier than it needs to be! Heck, most budget high school calculators now have a dedicated mixed number template button. The fx-CG500 has several tabs worth of soft keyboard shortcuts/templates for just about any kind of numeric expression you need to enter, and yeah, there's a fraction soft key template, but NO mixed number template. And if you figure you could simply enter a whole number followed immediately by a fraction, you'd be wrong! This was driving me nuts until I watched a YouTube video by Charlie Watson on "simple calculations" on the the Casio ClassPad II (which is basically the same device as the CG500). Eureka! Which brings me to the next point. There's a 300+ page downloadable manual for this device on Casio's website, but Casio's own support videos are pretty poorly produced. There's good information there, but the lady narrating the videos sounds like she was walking back and forth from where the microphone was, and sometimes what she's saying is indecipherable. Again, thank goodness for Charlie Watson (whoever he is!). If you do get this calculator, you'll most likely find his videos (on the ClassPad II) a godsend. Lastly, as far as I can tell, while you CAN rotate the screen (for many but not all operations), you CAN'T resize the text/font size for the data line displays on this device, which is a real shame, 'cos I'd love to be able to bump up the display size on equations! I'm keeping mine because it is outstanding in many ways, and I did get it at a great price, but had I paid typical retail on this, it would probably be going back... :)

Good luck figuring out what it can do. The manual explains nothing. YouTube has nothing really about it Yes it's the best. The screen is amazing. ........So let me help you...... YouTube vids on classpad help works for this model. One older guy has a vid showing how to add your own calculations. It works. You create the formula and save it, later just add your number and hit solve. Gas laws, ph, ect saved the formulas and passed Chem. You can connect it to your computer and upload files like formulas and stuff. Has complete periodic table. Can upload images too. Has exam mode as well. Works for statistics, thank god. Has spreadsheets like excel and all the formulas already. But it's not exactly intuitive and nothing is explained on how to use the features. Again. YouTube classpad shortcuts to help.

Casio, Texas Instrument, and HP each have a CAS (Computer Algebra System) graphing calculator model. I've used all three in calculus classes. My experience is as follows: 1) HP Prime - algorithms produced wrong results in calc II class. Notified HP and sold the calculator. 2) TI Nspire CX II CAS - I will admit up front that I am not a fan of the document-centric features of the Nspire series. The latest model is faster but eats up battery charge twice as fast, and has 10mb less user memory available. 3) Casio fx-CG500 - radically different user interface using a much larger screen. However, what really matters is the functionality. If you are taking calculus classes or above, you pretty much need a CAS graphing calculator. Here, the Casio fx-CG500 is a clear winner. It has more capability and features for higher math, and the user interface allows for much faster user input and all around ease of use. If you are a TI-Nspire fan, go to YouTube and search on Charlie Watson. You'll find a complete "course" on using the Casio (he uses the classpad 400 which is the same). His videos are just of couple of minutes each, and you will see for yourself in the first dozen or so videos just how much easier it is to do math on the Casio than the TI. If you keep watching, you also will see what the Casio can do that TI and HP cannot. Just so you know - I teach elementary and intermediate algebra at my local community college. I've used TI calculators since the very early 70's when they were red LEDs and used a 9-volt battery. I still have a TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, TI-84 Plus CE, TI-92 Plus, TI-Voyage 200, TI-89 Titanium, and TI-Nspire CX II CAS. As you can see, I am not a TI Nay-sayer, but in side by side comparisons with competing Casio models, Casio keeps coming out on top. I am not so sure that is surprising, since TI seems to have changed its focus from the end user to the education administrative policy makers.

The product is cumbersome; the programming is really tedious, and it’s easy to misstep the stylus. It’s nice it’s portable, and has a lot of functions. I didn’t get what I thought it was. The Casio language is not very simple. Programs will last, and it is comparable to a mathcad on a portable machine. It will be dynamic for doctors on international volunteer launches. That’s what I bought, though I was it was a large screen thin machine with just calculator features. It is something a researcher can use.
