linear eqauations on 15c
Message #1 Posted by JaSon on 24 Mar 2004, 3:01 p.m.

I just bought a used hp 15c and I can't figure out how to use the matrix features. (I got it at a pawn shop for $15 so there was no manual) The most important thing I want to know is how to use the matrix functions to solve linear equations. Thanks JaSon

You need a copy of the manual.

The museum sells it for $15 on CD.

Or you can buy the whole collection for $30.

Best regards,

Bill

I agree with Bill. The matrix operations on the HP15C definitely need a manual, because they are like nothing seen in previous models. While the calculator's memory is limited, the matrix operations are impressive!

Absolutely. I can remember battleing with the darn thing untill I bit the bullet and read the manual. Once you have done it once it is dead easy but you have to read the manual.

I used to revel in solvoing AC network analysis problems using complex matricies. Absolutely brilliant - until someone stole it. Lost my 41C the same way.
