A graphing calculator is an electronic device used in performing mathematical calculations such as solving equations and plotting graphs. It is programmable, allowing the user to create customized programs for education and scientific/engineering applications.
A graphing calculator can provide several calculations and text lines at the same time. Some have color displays, while others include 3D graphing. The TI-89 Titanium is one of the model graphing calculators popularly used today.
The TI-89 Titanium has a powerful computer algebra system developed by Texas Instruments. This allows the manipulation of symbolic algebraic expressions, where in, it solves the equation in terms of variables.
Hence, the TI-89 Titanium is a replacement of the TI 89 which was released during the summer of 2004. It has four times the ability of the TI 89, especially with regards to its flash memory. More Apps, programs and data are being stored. Thus, the TI-89 Titanium is necessarily a Voyage 200 without an integrated keyboard.

School Use
The TI-89 Tritium, along with the other series, is one of the most function-rich and powerful graphing calculators which can be legally used in many testing situations. It is also allowed on:
o AP Calculus
o AP Physics
o AP Statistics
o PSAT/NMSQT
o AP Chemistry
o Math IC and IIC
o SAT I and II
The TI-89 Titanium's advanced functionality helps students, particularly in engineering and mathematics in doing problem solving with ease. Many high school teachers encourage their students to use graphing calculators within the Canadian and American education system. Thus, students tend to buy the TI-89 Titanium because of its game compatibility.
The TI-89 Titanium has really gone a long way. It is more reliable due to its advanced capabilities and its simplified methods. Texas Instruments tend to upgrade the TI technology more over the years, especially focusing on its fully featured functionality for the modern day computing.
