Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator

Excelent product. Very easy to use and nice size for such a powerfull calculator. For my MBA classes has been very helpful.

I have two previous BA calculators from TI and this one is impressive in appearance and touch. Regrettably, the first function I tried failed.
The calc. has a default date value of 12-31-1990 although you can enter your own dates for number-of-days computations. The problem is that the calculator accepts the year value as two digits as in 08 and not 2008. The consequence is that I can't calculate the number of days prior to 2000 (00). How about long term bonds? The user guide and calculator delivers ERROR 6 when I attempt a four digit year. Perhaps someone knows a work around but the manual and calculator are no help discovering it. Why doesn't TI allow date inputs like Hewlett Packard: 01.011950?

The calculator is exactly what I expected, it really simplifies your work, cant say anything bad about that!!

Perfect for finance majors. I am currently a senior at the University of Notre Dame, and the functions are just what I have been needing. Very simple to use and light, it's perfect for any student or business person.

I am taking the CFA exam next June and needed to get a professional calculator. I read the reviews for both the TI and the HP.. While there seemed to be some concern for ease of use of the TI, the HP seemed too complicated to learn. I ultimately went with the recommendation of the review course which suggested the TI. The price was excellent and I have not been disappointed with the decision!!! There are some neat features on the TI that have been fun to learn... Oh, and check out the free video tutorials you can find by going to TI's website. Good times! - Steve
