The TI-81 was the first graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments. It was designed in 1990 for use in algebra and pre-calculus courses. Since its release, it has been superseded by a series of newer calculators; most of these are functionally similar to the TI-81, with the exception of the TI-Nspire series.
