If you miss your old calculator, there is a define feature that lets you program like a key macro recording. You can even find some from the Internet.

You can write programs on the device or if you have the HP Connectivity software (also free) you can write programs on your PC. The PC and phone versions will also connect just like a real device. For example, there is an application, HP Connectivity Kit, that lets you talk to a real calculator over the network. So this isn’t a case of someone just writing a pretend calculator, these apps act like the real calculator because it is running the same source code. It appears that these apps are not emulating the actual calculator hardware, but are ports of the calculator code. There are also “lite” versions that are free.

On iOS the cost right now is $25 and on Android it is $20. They aren’t free, but they are relatively inexpensive.

However, you can also get official apps for Android and iOS. It is easy to think that HP provides the free PC software so you’ll go out and buy the real calculator, and that may be part of it. Other applications include plotting, statistics, solvers, and even a spreadsheet that can hold up to 10,000 rows and 676 columns. It is also programmable using a special HP language that is sort of like Basic or Pascal. It also has an amazing number of applications including a complete symbolic math system based on xCAS/Giac. However, the HP Prime isn’t just your 1980s vintage calculator.
You might wonder why you need a calculator on your computer, and perhaps you don’t. But still, it will run under Wine with no more than the usual amount of coaxing. Of course, that’s free as in no charge, not free as in open source. To start with, HP has a free app that runs on Windows or Mac that works just like the calculator. But if you can’t justify a $150 calculator, there are some cheap and even free options out there to get the experience. It is hard to call it a calculator since the latest variant has a 528 MHz ARM Cortex A7, 256 MB of RAM, and 512 MB of ROM. Today’s students are more likely to have a TI or Casio calculator, but HP is still in there with the HP Prime. The slide rule sword gave way to calculators hanging from your belt loop, and for many engineers that calculator was from HP. Well, really it was a slide rule hanging from your belt, but it sounds cooler to call it a sword. Verdict:Īn excellent calculator with a lengthy list of powerful features, but is still easy enough for math novices to use.There was a time when being an engineering student meant you had a sword. Individual sessions may be saved, allowing you to carry on later, or you're able to export them as plain text or HTML. Select Settings > Result Format > Binary, for instance, and the result of 2+2 becomes 0b100. You can change most of this even after you've entered your data. A built-in Formula Book has simple prebuilt items you can enter with a double-click (quadratic equations, volume of a cone, area of a cylinder), or you can insert more than 150 scientific constants with a click or two.Īll your calculations can be carried out with up to 50 digits of precision, with support for complex numbers, base and unit conversions, and more. SpeedCrunch does its best to help with your expressions, too. Click whatever you need and it's entered for you. For example, typing A gets you abs, absdev, ampere, and, angstrom, ans, arccos, arcosh (the expanded name is displayed after each one to help you identify it). Start to type a function name and autocomplete displays possible options. There are 80+ mathematical functions to explore, but these are also easier to use than you might expect. And if that isn't quite what you meant, no problem, double-click "2+2" in the history window to recall that line, and change it to whatever you like. It doesn't care whether you enter 2+2 or 2+2=, you still get the same answer. Type expressions, press Enter, the results appear in the history window: simple. The program is built for extreme ease-of-use.
