I am in search of a calculator which boasts 'solve for x' as its main feature;
in other words, something really cheap that can do +-X/, powers, sq. root,
and FRACTIONS, as well as solve for x in complex polynomials.  This is
for my son in high school and I don't want to go broke purchasing some gem
that has on-screen graphing and a special subdivisory keypad that only the
top mathematicians at NASA would even look at.
 
I have been told about something like 'educalc' or 'educomp' that sells handheld
cal's for lower prices that an average store - the # for the above would also
be wonderful.
 
Thanks!
