Thanks. > > Btw I meant rpn notation :) Hello Ferroburak, On your HP 50G press [MODE] then set the Operating Mode to RPN. For good documentation go to: http://www.hpcalc.org/search.php?query=hp+50g+aur and download the HP 50g Advanced User's Reference Manual Edition 2. Regards, Mark

You can see all of HP's training modules here: http://h20331.www2.hp.com/hpsub/cache/383680-0-0-225-121.html There are some examples starting on page 1-15 of the Users Guide (the 887 page document that came on the CD, not the shorter printed document). By the way, if you're new to the 50g, I urge you to use the Users Guide as your primary reference, The printed Users Manual is more like a quick reference guide - useful when you're already familiar with the calculator. If you google "RPN tutorial" you will also find some example tutorials. Note that Some tutorials talk about a "stack" that has 4 levels named X, Y, Z, and T. On the 50g, the number of levels is limited only by the calculator's memory and they are identified by a number (level 1, level 2 etc). One VERY important thing that is buried deep in the documentation is the SWAP key. When you aren't editing a value, the right-arrow key will swap the values on stack levels 1 and 2. You'll find yourself doing this all the time. Don't get discouraged. RPN is well worth the 10 or 15 minutes required to learn it. You will find that it's a far more natural way to compute. Dave

It takes years to master them, and only guys with PhD (and not all of them) can claim that they mastered all the mysteries A.L. |
