HP 17bII+ Silver solver

[rprosperi]

Nah, Don and Gerson are the real Pioneer Solver Masters, I just have a good collection of links.

Of all the various tools built-in to the various calculator models I've explored, the Pioneer Solver is easily the one that most exceeds it's initial apparent capability. This awesome tool must have been incredibly well-tested by the QA team. The fact that the sheer size (and audacity!) of Gerson's Trig formulas still return amazingly accurate results says more about the underlying design and code than any comments I could add.

Enjoy exploring it, and when you've mastered it (or at least tamed it a bit), come back here and share some interesting Solver formulas. There are numerous folks here that enjoy entering the formulas and running some test cases. (well, I suppose "enjoy" is not really the right word about entering the formulas - I guess feel good about accomplishing it successfully is more accurate).

When I see some of these long Solver equations, it reminds of TECO commands back in the PDP-11 days.
