Students (and non-students alike!) are for the most part going to encounter interest, loan, mortgage calculations etc. sooner or later, and that these will have long term use beyond the myriad of probability functions and statistical distributions. (No, I'm not saying get rid of them! Just add more useful stuff!)

TVM is available in the 12C, 12C Platinum, 17BII+, 50g and Prime, all current models in HP's line. Did you mean another calculator company?

I meant Casio, Sharp, and TI. Not talking about graphing calculators, just scientific ones that are often used in schools and allowed for exams. The HP models are fine but 12C and 17BII+ don't do trig either. The old HP 27 and HP 27S models ("do everything") were on the right track. Just trying to understand why it's not a priority to add the very useful TVM functions to a full-bore scientific non-graphic calculator like the Ti-36X Pro or this new Casio model.
