Sharp EL-W535TGBBL Scientific Calculator, 16-Digit LCD

We have the large, color scientific calculator that high schools recommend. It’s been sitting unloved, unpowered and is never ready when a test requires it. Classwork is on an online calculator anyway. By contrast, this Sharp calculator is always ready, much lighter and easier to use, and has a set of features that are significantly ahead of the bulky one. One-touch display switch to show fractions/radical/percentage or decimals is smart and sooo handy! It supports algebraic expressions, solves equations, does tables and simple data analytics within the tables, statistics — everything a real-life STEM class would need. The face is a warm dark grey, back is turquoise blue (i throught is was just a trim) and it comes with a protective cover, also dark grey. This is a true gem of a calculator!

I’ve owned dozens, possibly hundreds of different calculators over a few decades, including HP, Casio, Sharp, TI, Sinclair, and all of them are capable of doing the job for simple scientific calculations.
But one area most calculators really suck at is manipulating hexadecimal numbers and doing math and logic on them. Where the capability is offered, it often requires too many keystrokes or is lacking in some major way, and I’m finding myself launching a PC calculator app in programmer mode because it’s so awkward.

This is where this model and others in the line (WR-516) really excels. Hex math is intuitive and fast, and switching between bases mid-calculation works great. It’s quite useful sitting on the desk while debugging, computing memory addresses of structures in memory and so forth, and basic logic ops like AND, OR, XOR.

There are some limits. 40 bits for Hex, so it’s fine for 32 bits and down but not for 64 bit calculations.

I find it to be less irritating than launching a calculator app in programmer mode. Your mileage may vary but this model is comparatively superior to most for fast, intuitive base calculations and conversions on-the-fly, and it’s dirt cheap. On top of all that it’s a pretty decent, if not necessarily my favorite, general scientific calculator too.
There are more powerful models for sure, but for me it’s time to switch to using a computer for a lot of the extra functions (are you really going to do numerical integration or matrix math on a calculator in 2021?)

me gusto todo de la calculadora

its a calculator

I recommend the Sharp calculator because of the features it produces and its affordability. The reason for needing a calculator is because I had to find one for an algebra class, fast. As I am looking throughout Amazon, I see this product that has everything I needed for a great price. The algebra class I took required a scientific calculator that could show fractions, which would be easier using versus your basic calculator that does not have function features. Also, this product can be used for many other mathematical classes like chemistry, trigonometry, architecture, and engineering etc. The evidence shows in the product’s picture on the Amazon site with a quadratic formula shown.
For a year now, this product is still very functional with no problems after is being so long. The packaging was mostly well kept, with only one small dent in one of the corners of the box. The bent packaging did not affect the product physically. The only issue I had was when opening the box and noticing there were no instructions. When I tried to solve a fraction, I was stuck and had to do math problems the old-fashioned way. There is not a problem with the old-fashioned way (only shows the add, subtract, divide, and multiplication buttons), but I specifically had gotten it with WriteView so I would not have to. Eventually after looking up on google how to access this feature I was doing just fine. The type of calculator from the Sharp company is not much into the decorative type as there is not an aesthetic. The Sharp calculator is worried about the different functions it has more than the color. I can tell by how many colors are provided. The only colors available will be the one marketed with black and blue on the product, no pattern.
This lightweight and portable calculator allows me to bring it with me to class as well as use at home. Being able to have something not so bulky and easily to carry with me is necessary for all I do. As a college student, or businesswoman, a need to carry multiple things at one time is always an issue. The compactness does not take from this calculator. It gets the job done. I’ve used other scientific calculators and this works with perfection, at least once you have looked up every function. The price definitely worth the product. As stated before, it is affordable, but easily comparable with higher priced calculators doing the same thing.
I have now reviewed the Sharp Calculator and assisted in your purchase. I am here to let you know that this is a good scientific calculator that is very much affordably with WriteView, but you will need to do research on how to access the different modes that you are trying to find. As for its use purpose, it did its job during class and so much more. Looking back at it now I give this product a 5-star rating.
