Three HP calculators out of five total is hardly \"mostly\". But in any

HP calculators are just as normal as TI or Casio calculators. Do not
confuse less common or expensive with normal, they do not mean what you
think they mean.

You really are getting senile.

Unless one is using an HP RPN calculator, then the keystrokes are:

1 [enter] number [divide]

Yet another instance of NOT a \"single key\".

Usually. On mine \"1/x\" is next to sin, cos, tan.

InverseTrig \"1/x\" is cuberoot!

divide = =

Will get you a functional equivalent for a single number.

My first calc was an HP35 ($400 at the time, the cost of a Honda S90
motorcycle) so I\'m a RPN slave. I buy old 32S2\'s now.

I need a good HP emulator for my Samsung phone. Any recommendations?

I use Droid48 Same as an HP48 and I think it actually uses the HP48
software emulated in the Android. So the math is (or should be) as
good.

either way, it is VERY good.

I also carry an HP15C in my bag of tricks.

My first calc was an HP35 ($400 at the time, the cost of a Honda S90

The first calculator I ran into belonged to a rich school friend and was
also that HP35. I could make it work a lot better than him, but at
school I could get away with mental arithmetic and pretending to have
used a slide rule (writing SR in the margin to be allowed 3 sig fig).

I finally had to give in and get a calculator for the crystalline
materials course in the first year at university- answers to 6 sig fig.
I had a TI SR-51A it survived very well before eventually wearing out.

I need a good HP emulator for my Samsung phone. Any recommendations?

Dunno which is the best HP one. I found a nice SR59 emulator for mine.

You have the kestrokes mixed up. It would be 1, then Enter, the number, then divide \"/\".

What sort of crazy calculator are you using?

I still like the HP35 in real life. The keys have a wondeful detent
feel, and the layout is simple and logical. I have several, but most
have gone flakey and of course the batteries are long dead.

Tulane was never a very progressive university (but a first-rank party
school.) Calculators were not allowed on tests because they would give
an unfair advantage to rich kids.

I did full-hull dynamic simulation of a 32,000 horsepower LASH ship on
an HP9100 desktop calculator, the first programmable RPN and
predecessor to the HP35. That got us some business.

The 9100 had no ICs; just transistors and a CRT display.

I have an HP11C and several HP32S calculators and they have

I hardly use them anymore though. These days, I most often
use something that resembles Unix\'s \"dc\" calculator, but
better adapted to scientific/engineering work, and which I
wrote myself. Its unique (I believe) feature is that it
can understand and print numbers with metric prefixes. So,
say, 1.2e-7 is the same as 120n.

I haven\'t used an actual calculator in decades. I have Excalibur on the laptop and if I need anything more than that I use Forth. I don\'t have much need to crunch numbers that I can\'t do in my head.

Are there any calculators that understand the data types, like volts, amps, ohms, etc. and apply the appropriate equation? That would be a very handy tool. No more looking up equations. Hmmm... that might be a fun project.

John Doe doesn\'t like being corrected - which is unfortunate, since his posts need a lot of correction - and he reacts in a childish and intemperate way.

He gets called a troll quite frequently (and accurately) so he think that the description is a term of abuse which he can throw back at the people who correct his unfortunate errors. It is one more of his unfortunate errors.

google search. If you put something like 10volt/5ohm into google search it\'ll return 2 amperes

For some things. Other things it simply doesn\'t understand. It also requires an Internet connection. Heck, many apps on my phone require an Internet connection to show me information that was already pulled up, like Gmail. I can have it open to an email, minimize it. Then when I pull my phone out it won\'t display because it is trying to download it again and there\'s no connection. Stupid cell phone apps.

Oh, yeah. There\'s also the ads. Try calculating the energy in a 1 uF cap at 10V. You will get lots of advertisements for 1 uF, 10V capacitors. Or if you phrase it correctly, lots of links to calculators.

Google is great, right up to the point where you really need it, and it craps out.

Eddie\'s spam replies are getting longer and longer...

> Doe \"troll format\" postings.

The main reason for that is to keep track of nym-shifting trolls.
Nym-shifting is, or was, a common tactic of trolls. Trolls love the
charade. I love the mystery.

If it weren\'t for my \"troll format postings\", Eddie would be nym-shifting.

One user, one ID. Too bad Google doesn\'t allow such record-keeping (like
on Google Groups and YouTube). Helps hide their own misdeeds.

Is there a single key calculation for the reciprocal of a

Is there some symbol besides \"1/x\" to look for?

Thanks.

Enter 1 then divide then the number then equals.

Otherwise, single key IS the \"1/x\" key.
You really are getting senile.

You have the kestrokes mixed up. It would be 1, then Enter, the
number, then divide \"/\".

What sort of crazy calculator are you using?

Nope Multi-register (mantissa) calculators are real in hardware and
software. In Windows, one simply enters the number then hits the
SINGLE 1/x key and the result appears.

What sort of crazy thinks you are better than everyone else are you
using?

How do you reach the conclusion that your \"troll format postings\" are
the reason why anyone, Edward included, is not nym-shifting?

 

[John Doe]

It\'s simple logic. If you expose nym-shifting, it\'s less likely to
continue. The OBVIOUS reason behind nym-shifting is to hide one\'s persona.
And I have observed a radical decrease in nym-shifting over a long period
of time. They love(d) the masquerade. I love(d) the mystery.

This nym-shifting troll, who never before posted to this group until this
thread, snipped the relevant portion of my post in order to make its
flimsy assertion.

This guy\'s name is mentioned in the \"Operations Manuals\" spam. Has posted
to (sci.electronics.repair). Probably coincidence. Only The Shadow knows...
