Hey John - are you vying for senior member status now? ;-) There are many gurus on this forum (and in the old forum archives). I hesitate to name only 5 as that would be unfair. To name a few off the top of my head: > Katie W. > Valentin A. > Karl Schneider > Gene W. > Walter B. > Thomas Klemm > Paul Dale > Angel Martin > Gerson B. > Dave Britten > Namir > Geoff Q. > and a hundred others (whom I sincerely would not wish to offend by omitting their names)... Just take a look at the articles (new and old) section - lots of gurus there. Jeff K |

RE: Gurus???
No list in this context would be complete without including Tony Duell, for reverse-engineering and documenting any piece of vintage HP (and other) equipment he gets in his hands… and for generously sharing his knowledge.

RE: Gurus???
Any list like that is necessarily both incomplete and probably includes errors (like adding me as a guru is a vast exaggeration, but thanks for the gesture :-)
Here's a few more names at the top of my head that deserve inclusion: Eric Smith Thomas Okken Diego Díaz J-F Garnier Monte Dalrymple .... "To live or die by your own sword one must first learn to wield it aptly." |

RE: Gurus???
And let's not forget to mention advanced math contributors in this MoHP forums.
(not a concise list, of course, these are just the latest contributors on threads where I was involved as well): - Dieter; - Joe Horn; - Manolo Sobrino; Jose Mesquita RadioMuseum.org member |

RE: Gurus???
I'me quite impressed by the CORDIC algorithm and you can read on Wikipedia
Quote:Although CORDIC is similar to mathematical techniques published by Henry Briggs as early as 1624, it is optimized for low complexity finite state CPUs.So JS Walther would be my Guru. |

RE: Gurus???
Two gurus that were not mentioned so far.
The first is Jim DeArras who is a true genius. He tapped into the memory of the HP-41C and created a quad memory that did not need bank-switching (as HP had done in its labs in Corvallis). He did with a simple oscilloscope!! Jim had an insightful knowledge for the HP-41C calculator. The other guru is none other than Richard Nelson, who is a genius in bringing the community of users into the PPC, then CHHU, and now the annual HHC conferences. If you think organizing these kinds of conferences is easy, give it a try. Richard maintains a special charisma that brings HP calculator enthusiasts together. Richard was also behind the PPC-ROM project and had put a major labor of love in assembling the fantastic and detailed manual for that ROM! Namir |

I started during the HP48 era, so Mika Heiskanen, Mozgy, and Jan Brittenson would be on my list.

I enjoy sharing some of the math discoveries here and also at the HHC conference (Thank you Eric for videotaping the HHC talks and posting them on YouTube). Namir |
