The
TI-30 Galaxy was designed in Europe with pedagogical features in mind. It got
large keys in a senseful layout.
Manufactured in Japan it uses a Toshiba
calculator integrated circuit similar to the TI-30
SLR. The same chip was used inside the TI-30
Galaxy Solar and the TI-35
Galaxy Solar sporting additional solar cells.
On the US-market the identical TI-35 Galaxy was
introduced in 1984, too.
If you are interested in the calculating accuracy of scientific calculators don't miss the Calculator forensics.
Production of the TI-30 Galaxy was later shifted to Italy, don't miss the black TI-30 Galaxy.
The TI-52 enhanced the display
capability to 12 digits.
