Free video on using HP12C on web
Message #1 Posted by Gene Wright on 5 Feb 2001, 10:20 a.m.

I went up to Rhode Island back in December and was videoed giving a presentation on the time value of money using the HP12c calculator.

The company that did this provides review material for the CFA exam (chartered financial analyst). For a limited time, they have made these real video sessions available for free viewing on the web. They total about 3.5 HOURS of instruction on things from simple interest to net present value calculations.

If anyone's interested in seeing these, drop me an email.

Seeing how I explain things may also interest a couple of you in my business math textbook. ;-)

YES! I am interested in viewing the "Free video on using HP12C on web".

I am particularly interested in resetting the LCD display to show dollars and cents, carried to 5 numbers.

THANK YOU....I can't wait...

To change the number of decimals on the HP12C, do the following...

Press the yellow shift key which is labelled "f" the press the digit key corresponding to the number of decimal places desired.

For example, to show 2 decimal places, press Yellow Shift 2

To show 5 decimal places, press Yellow shift 5.

That's all there is to it. No need for a video for that. :-)

hello...

I am again requesting access to the "Free video on using HP12C on the web" as offered.

In response to your latest message to me, I am interested in learning how to use my 12C....other than the display format.

Thank you...
