TI-82STATS_1.jpg (68998 Byte)This stylish TI-82 STATS introduced in France mid of 2004 is almost identical with the TI-82 Parcus known since 2001. The blue tone if the housing looks more valuable than the original dark grey housing but is still behind the TI-73 or TI-83 Plus design. Main advantage of the shell is the neat battery access with a sliding cover. 

Since 2006 the TI-82 STATS is available in more European countries, we noticed it in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and United Kingdom.

TI-82STATS_PCB.jpg (98414 Byte)Dismantling the TI-82 STATS reveals a printed circuit board (PCB) 100% identical with the TI-82 Parcus. The only real difference is the enhanced Statistics Menue burned into the software of the calculator.

Please notice on the screen shot on the left that the menus are in English language. Texas Instruments introduced in 2005 with the TI-Collège the first calculator with keys, notations and even the menus in French to simplify the use by younger students. Almost a year later with the TI-82 Stats.fr a Graphing calculator was nationalized.

If you compare the TI-82 STATS with the previous TI-82 Parcus you'll notice some major improvements:

Additional statistics features to the TI-82: unlimited numbers of named lists with 
up to 999 elements, automatic creation of the residual list in the Y=editor, use 
any numbers as frequencies to calculate common statistical measures.
Multiple graph styles.
Interactive graphical analysis including numerical derivatives and integrals.
Up to 10 matrices.
Inferential statistics, probability distributions.
Complex numbers.
