Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator

I recently bought the TI BA II Plus Professional for the December CFA exam. I found it easy to learn and use. The functionality is almost exactly like the "regular" BA II Plus, but the Professional has a few added features that saved me some precious seconds during my exam. For example, it calculates Payback and Discounted Payback periods, MIRR, and Net Future Value, all of which are not available on the non-Professional model. The calculator is feature-rich, yet doesn't have so many features that you need to read the manual cover-to-cover just to learn basic functionality. It's a great choice for anyone entering an undergraduate or graduate business program.

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.
