Also curious what you mean when you say you are disappointed - as in with the calculators or the size of the collection?

The way I see the ti84+ is its equivalent to a 1980's home computer and given you can buy them sh of Ebay for about £40 or less represents to me a good deal. However, its limitations with complex functions has been exposed. With hindsight, this shouldn't come as a surprise because the ti84+ was designed for college students doing higher education, so it had to be designed with constraints to be passed by the various examination boards.That said, the ti84+ is a good calculator no doubt.

I really like the hp 35s, especially the equation mode and its programming instructions are not just keycodes but actual function strings making programming/debugging a bit simpler.So, in terms of complex functions available on the hp 35s, it is better than the ti84+.Definitely a keeper.

I've been over at Amazon, just recently perusing the complex analysis books there are hundred's to choose from, knowing which one to buy is a nightmare. Anyone?
