A calculator you would approve of @SmartmanApps ! This might be one of my favourite algebraic #calculators, but then I was always a fan of Sharps. (infosec.pub)

Yes, I think the processor must be slower, and as a result, the integration is more limited. They also have different methods of differentiation, and maybe the Casio one is superior.

I don't have a 991-CW, but do you know what it can do with the complex functions? My experience of older Casio 991s is that complex is limited to arithmetic operations only. This seems to be the case on the W506T - i.e. it won't do Log or Sin of a complex number. But then many 'scientific/non-graphing' calculators (except for HP) don't.

As far as complex numbers go, the 991CW doesn't add anything that most other flagship scientific calculators can do.

@JakeSparkleChicken @dm319@feddit.uk Ah so just +/-/÷/× and maybe an x²?
