It worked very well and calculating time-value-of money problems was a breeze. This calculator is larger, but lighter than the industry standard, the HP 12C. The HP is the defacto standard calculator in the financial world. It works alittle differently than most calculators (theres no equal button) but once you get ahold of it, you'll understand why industry insiders rave about it. I've never heard of the HP 10B so can't help you on this one but the TI and the 12C should be enough for you. Hope this helps.

I've used it for about 12 years and find that it is easier to use than the HP. You can get them on ebay for about $20.

All my professors also recommended it and set up their lessons with tips on using the HP. Needless to say that's what the class then went out and bought.
