SYNTHETIC PROGRAMMING
ON THE HP-41C

Because it's the only one I have.

Hp 48 Insights: 1. Principles and Programming of the Hp 48 by William C. Wickes
Because it provides in-depth, rare insights into the design of RPL and I really like Mr. Wickes writing style.

There are so many good ones. Three that I have and really like are "Extend Your HP-41" by Mier-Jedrzejowicz, "HP-41 HP-IL System Dictionary" by Cary E Reinstein, and the ZENROM manual. Actually, many modules' manuals would qualify. I understand the CCD ROM manual is one of these, and I've downloaded three manuals by Angel that are absolutely outstanding!

"Algorithms for RPN Calculators", by John A. Ball.
Copyright 1978.
Although this book is not 'just' about HP calculators since it does mention the Novus Mathematician, Novus Scientist, and the Corvus 500, all of the examples pertain to some HP model like the HP-45. This book has a wealth of info (and RPN routines), especially on numerical integration methods, including the 3-point Gaussian Quadrature algorithm.

Hello,
My favorites are the Grapevine publications written by Coffin and others. I was able to find all the 'an easy course programming' for hp11c-hp15c, hp41, hp48. In particular for the hp48 i also have the 'hp48 graphics' by Ray Depew which initiated me to graphics programming and the last i bought were other Coffin books for the hp48 regarding calculus...
I never travel without one of them...
Thanks
Giancarlo

"Calculator Calculus" by George McCarty, for 4 reasons: (1) It was a gift from my brother Jim who introduced me to HP programmable calculators in the first place; (2) It introduced me to many cool math tricks & tips in clear and simple language; (3) George McCarty was co-founder of EduCALC with Jim Carter; and (4) I took Prof. McCarty's Statistics course at UCI.

John,
Why don't YOU tell us what YOUR favorite is and why?

My favorite book is Computational analysis with the HP-25 pocket calculator by the late Professor Peter Henrici. This books really pushes the HP-25 to its limits. Henrici worked with his wife to do an HP-33E version, but never did one for the HP-67 or the HP-41C. Such books would have sold like crazy!

I'll vote for Geoff Quickfall's book...whenever he finishes it. :-)

In addition to ones already named:
Take a Chance With Your Calculator by Lennart Rade. A fun little book on probability (and simulation and Monte Carlo analysis) with programs for the HP-25.
Calculus by Calculator by Maurice Weir. The programs in it are for the TI-59 but adapt relatively easily to most HP calculators.
PPC ROM User's Manual. Do I need to say anything about it?

So I can only fourth it. May the force (pun intended) be with him on his last steps.

John,
Why don't YOU tell us what YOUR favorite is and why?
Bill
Pssst - because he thinks the amount of threads he created will be counted to erase his 'junior' status quickly. But don't you tell him otherwise ...

My fav is "Synthetic Programming Made Easy." Just because it let you do a bunch of cool stuff with the 41.
The most useful is that two set of pink books for the 48, but I do not recall the name. I will be going through my storage units and reviving my HP equipment which is the driver for why I re-joined this forum.

That would probably be Hp 48 Insights: I and II by William C. Wickes which was my favorite above.

This is the best answer given, up to now, terrific I can say, sorry it came at the beginning of the discussion, should be the best to "close" this post
