RE: HP-65 accuracy error
Also, I don't think the error was a huge problem back then. The 65 was not that far removed from the slide-rule days. The old slip-stick jockeys would have known to use logs and multiply.

But it is worth noting the TI algorithms back then were more accurate in general.
Even an SR-50 (HP-35 competitor) gets the right answers for those problems.
