Back in the late 90s, when TI already ruled calculators in High Schools, I selected HP48 as my platform. It is a high-end engineering calculator with CAS capabilities, native units, stack based interface and programmable in RPL.

Recently I purchased a near mint HP48G and again have a physical calculator on my desk.

Between rich library, various symbolic solvers and even ... more on:

HP48 Again

Back in the late 90s, when TI already ruled calculators in High Schools, I selected HP48 as my platform. It is a high-end engineering calculator with CAS capabilities, native units, stack based interface and programmable in RPL1. Recently I purchased a near mint HP48G and again have a physical calculator on my desk.

More work on my pure #python #rpn #calculator. I added the ability to edit user functions for the calculator with syntax highlighting thanks to the IDLE editor.

J’adore ces machines où l’UX est… mécanique.
La HP-46 (1973) combine calcul scientifique, RPN et imprimante intégrée : tu obtiens une trace papier immédiate et le clac-clac vaut un ASMR vintage. 😄

RPN - rätt sätt att räkna på.

Joachim Klahr använder omvänd polsk notation i sitt programmeringsspråk Quadrate, och insåg att han räknat på ett sämre sätt hela livet.

...Вот именно поэтому для подсчтета всякой бытовой херни у меня есть какулятор в обратной польской нотации 😉 Всё лежит в стеке, нет «алгоритмического» порядка операций 😉 нету скобок, понятно даже ребенку с первого раза. На #FDroid гуглить RPN Calculator, вот этот самое огниво при том, что прост как три копейки.

@futurebird User of HP calcs since the 80s, not everyones cup of tea. #RPN: Removal of parenthesis during calculations. Having operators before and after operands to calculate arbitrary expressions translates to speed and clarity of input.

@bitzero i went to uni in the late 70s to early 80s, & i was in the opposing camp... i chose to swap my hitherto #sliderule for a TI-59, with its dinky little magnetic cards & internal motor, + #RPN also, ofc. several of my friends also bought the same one, though one went for the TI-58. other friends did go the HP route, specifically the HP-41C iirc. fun times.

"All Hewlett-Packard pocket calculators feature RPN logic- the most sensible logic system a pocket calculator can have!"

This beautiful short introduction to #RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) is from Hewlett-Packard's Pocket Calculator Buyer's Guide printed in 1975.
