My friend used a 991 for Maths and Further Maths, it's definitely possible πŸ’ͺ
I agree there's not really a point in buying one now since you'll have to get used to a new calc too

Numworks is a lot cheaper than TI

Hello, 991 is more than sufficient for stats, mechanics, numerical integration, solving equations etc. if I'm not mistaken.
