I think of HP calculators in terms of "The Three Bills": Bill Hewlett, Bill Kahan (developer of many of the algorithms used in calculators starting with the 34C and the main author of the HP-15C Advanced Functions Handbook), and Bill Wickes.

BTW, there are several articles by Kahan in the HP Journal from the late 70's and early 80's which make for interesting reading.
