CAS4LIFE
Does the AFX2.0 plus have, symoblic input and or output?

Can it display things naturally like the HP49g+ can in EQuation writer?

or the new FX9860GIISD doe

How good is the CAS in the AFX 2.0plus compared to the Ti89titanium and HP49g+

Here's the CAS manual for AFP 2.0 plus (symbolic manipulation).

I'm under the impression that the Casio Classpad 330 is a more up-to-date products than the FX2.0plus. The natural display seems superior on both the Classpad and other later products such as the FX-9860GII.

I've never really used a TI since the TI Programmer II (which was a great back in the day) and the HP 48G was way too painfull and slow to use (even the keys caused physical pain). I've used casio's for the past 16 years due to productivity and comfort (since I'm not in school, it needs to beat any app i have on my computer) and I'm not really convinced that CAS is great to have on a calculator, so I'm using the FX-9860GII .

I may have confused terms a little, i can now see that it definitely has symbolic manipulation, what about natural display? The manual is not explicit in this context?

If it does not can it be modified to make it natural display?

It doesn't have the latest "natural textbook display" of equations and results.


The display you get on th FX 2.0 plus is what you see in the manual ... it's very readable but the new 'natural textbook display' looks better.

What do you mean by very readable, because the manual gives the impression that it sorta does and some point and sorta doesnt. Does anyone have a screen shot of the AFX2.0plus with a large equation to post? And a few other equation, so i can get a real world gist?
