From the HP web site:

• HP 50g Graphing Calculator: Best used for - Engineering; Computer science; Surveying; Trigonometry; Statistics; Geometry; Biology; Chemistry; Physics.
• HP Prime Graphing Calculator: Best used for - Engineering; Computer science; Surveying; Trigonometry; Statistics; Geometry; Biology; Chemistry; Physics.
  

Clearly marketed? Not so much.

Now, after you get it and use it? That's another story. Clearly not targeted at scientists and engineers.
