Casio Unveils World's First-ever Standard Scientific Calculator With Arabic Display
DUBAI, UAE, February 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Innovative device has potential to benefit over 2 million students across
region
Casio Middle East has announced the launch of the world's first standard scientific
calculator with an Arabic display. The first-ever calculator with an Arabic interface is a
development of immense significance for the Middle East region and has the potential to
benefit over 2 million students across the wider area.

The ClassWiz fx-991AR X calculator offers the benefits of a modern scientific
calculator to students from the region enrolled in middle school and upwards, bringing the
world of scientific calculations closer to students in their own native language. Casio is
the acknowledged global market leader in the calculator segment and this will make their
position in the region even stronger. It is estimated that 250 million speak the Arabic
language in the region.
"The ClassWiz range of calculators brings the power of scientific calculation into the
hands of students across the region in their own language," said Tsuneo Nagai, Managing
Director of Casio Middle East. "The Arabic interface, developed especially with the
students of this region in mind, will bring alive the world of mathematics and science
even more graphically for Arabic speaking students. This innovative range of products is
also a testament to the importance we assign to the region as one of our more significant
markets," Mr. Nagai stressed.
Casio supports mathematics education through its diverse lineup of scientific
calculators, including standard models capable of complex computations, programmable
models equipped with programming functions, and graphic models that combine graphic input
functions with programming functions.
The new ClassWiz fx-991AR X model features a high-resolution film-compensated
super-twisted nematic (FSTN) display with 12,096 dots - approximately four times the 2,976
dots offered by the previous Casio models and is the first standard scientific calculator
with an Arabic menu and guidance.
The high-resolution display makes it easy to view numerical formulas and symbols. The
ClassWiz fx-991AR X minimizes abbreviated menu items and guidance, making user
instructions and information on screen easy to understand even for a beginner.
This scientific calculator is also equipped with a spreadsheet function that is useful
for entering recursive formulas and studying statistics, which has become increasingly
important in recent years in educational settings. This means the ClassWiz fx-991AR X can
be used for calculations found in the latest textbooks and for more complicated
calculations than previous models.
The ClassWiz fx-991AR X includes a function that can display a graph on a smart device
such as a smartphone or tablet computer. This enables numerical formulas inputted into the
calculator to be converted to Quick Response (QR) Code. Users can display graphs on smart
devices by reading the QR Code to access a dedicated website. This function can also be
used to display the calculator's user manual on a smart device.
By utilizing a high-resolution display, Casio has raised the level of the user
interface for its calculators, allowing icons to be displayed more clearly and legibly on
the menu screen. Furthermore, the ClassWiz fx-991ARX is capable of performing
sophisticated calculations such as differential calculus, linear and vector operations,
4x4 matrix calculations, and 4-variable simultaneous equations. The new model comes with a
two-way power system combining a battery and solar cell.
Along with the ClassWiz fx-991AR X, Casio plans to release three additional standard
scientific calculator models equipped with the same high-resolution display.
