REVIEW- HP-50g introduction videos by mathtutordvd

[HPing]

This is a brief recommendation for the introductory video series entitled,
"The HP50g Calculator Tutor: Volume 1 -- 7 Hour Course".

- Jason Gibson offered videos as DVD and downloads
- 31 lessons total (free sample of 6 lessons in link below)
- I don't think Jason offered a Volume 2

I thought the videos were a nice introduction to the functionality of the 50g. The instructor had a logical lesson plan and provided crystal-clear explanations. I found the lessons to be packed with information and examples to follow. The on-screen 50g makes it easy to follow along at home with a real 50g. The class tone and pace was that of a college course IMHO.

Overall, I found the course to be excellent. Seven hours does not cover everything. But I walked away comfortable navigating the keys, menus, and main functions of the 50g.

Going forward, I'll make a deeper dive with other materials, such as:
https://literature.hpcalc.org/all#lang:E.../model:50g
https://resources.thiel.edu/mathproject/...efault.htm

Perhaps after your future deeper dive into other materials, you can compare the commercial product you reviewed with the free resources on your list or to any of following additional free video and non-video tutorials.
1) HP-50g A Tutorial for Engineering Students (YouTube @rolinychupetin playlist of 20 videos).
3) HP HP50g training aids (perhaps someone can suggest a better link)

Carey beat me to it, I was also going to suggest checking the channel from

https://www.youtube.com/@rolinychupetin

to date, AFAIK, the gold standard for YT tutorials on the 50g.

I have the set from Jason on DVD, but never got around to watching them, I look forward to hearing your comments after checking out this free alternative.

Will do. Thank you for the recommendations.

Note that my last link a is free 3 hour HP-50 introduction by a Civil Engineer in Spain (broken into 11 videos). One could enable "English subtitles" on YouTube. There seem to be a few presentation slides with a lot of English terms, but there still are some Spanish words.
