description Little Professor Overview
Little Professor is a handheld electronic teaching calculator introduced by Texas Instruments in 1976. Instead of displaying a calculation for the user to perform, it presents simple arithmetic problems on an eight-digit display and waits for the user to enter an answer. Correct answers generate another problem, while an incorrect response produces the message "EEE"; its colorful professor design and red LED display were intended for children learning basic arithmetic.
