RE: Best calculator for the working engineer
For work, mostly Free42 on my iPhone and a 15C. The 15C solver is nice for formulas that are not easily manipulated. Both are nice for their ease of programming, although the 42 is easier (obviously) to debug.

RE: Best calculator for the working engineer
Sorry guys and thank you for your patience - I hope nobody is disappointed in me.
According to Voldemar's unbelief, I collected some examples. Later I think that it is useful and more clear if I write down the full story of this solver. The link for the doc: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1AqWV7...sp=sharing You must to know, English is not my native and I have no any knowledge about grammar... I'm waiting for the valuable feedbacks - because this is really a homebrew solver by/for myself. Csaba |

I feel myself so stupid - may my Note is laughable?!
Just for clarification: for my job I use a HP35s of course - I'm not a fool... Csaba |

It's a good match so far - BR 6 US 0. Looks like you were watching a live match: http://youtu.be/MxufRTb0Ito According to the video this was the first rugby match ever between Brazil and USA. I don't remember it being broadcast here. I don't understand the rules, but the last minute is worth watching :-) Thanks for posting! Gerson. |

I don't know why, it reminded me Germany 7 x 1 Brazil, in our home, soccer world cup....
I didn't even know that rugby was played in Brazil... |

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :-( http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-1783.html I've particularly liked Walter's comment there (Ui, ui, ui, 5 x 0 em meia hora! Adeus, Brasil...). Quite appropriate! P.S.: I tried to find an HP-15C, an HP calculator, a TI calculator, whatever calculator in the video in order to bring this back on topic, but I haven't found any. I don't intend to go out on vacations now :-) |

RE: Best calculator for the working engineer
I'm surprised the 50g doesn't receive more attention. Talking about an engineer job the UOM implemetation as well as the MES are definitive features. Nobody using that in the real life?

I have had some graphic calculators. I use them mostly as a programmable scientific calculators, graphics capabilities in the calculator is not important for me. Only graphic calculators have more opportunities for programming. |

Brazil jumped out to a big lead and then the US caught up and went ahead. Brazil scored at the end of the match for the win. Overall, a very good match - good athletes and good sportsmanship on both sides. Rugby - a hooligan's sport played by gentlemen. Football - a gentlemen's sport played by hooligans. http://imgur.com/gallery/egIQS John |

RE: Best calculator for the working engineer
As for those images, I will start to watch more rugby.
Look that girl pulling and striking other girl by the hair....jeez.... I like American football, don't know if it relates. And I am away from soccer, don't need to ask why. Cheers JL |

Nobody using that in the real life? 50g is always on my desk for the two exact reasons you mention. If the prime gets an update to have a useable unit system and true MES then I can clear the 50g to the rest of the collection. |

If only we could have a Prime special edition with a revamped black keyboard and case that would emulate the 50g (or the 48g since the 50g is already an emulator). |

Prime supports infinite-length integers in CAS view, just like the 50g in exact mode, with the biggest difference being speed. The 50g returns the exact answer (2367 digits long) for 999^789 in 15 seconds. Prime returns the same result in 0.0009 seconds. <0|ɸ|0> -Joe- |
