OT: DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS using the HP-48G/GX
Message #1 Posted by Ivan Rancati on 3 June 2013, 10:29 a.m.

I wanted to see how much the book is going for, so I took a quick look on Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/DIFFERENTIAL-EQUATIONS-using-HP-48G-GX/dp/1886801193/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370269030&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=differential+equations+with+the+hp+48g and it is on sale between 331 and 900 USD. It seems a lot of money.

Interesting enough, amazon.de lists a seller who sells it for a reasonable 33 EUR

No idea why it's so expensive, anyway I thought I'd share in case somebody is interested in the reasonably priced unit

If not mistaken, the contents of this differential equations book as well as a related linear algebra book and a calculus book were all packaged into one large volume entitled HP-48G/GX INVESTIGATIONS in MATHEMATICS by Latorre, Kreider and Proctor, that is usually available at a reasonable price.

It seems like these are just sellers with no physical stock; instead they are auto-listing other stock while adding 500% surcharge :)
So hundreds of dollars is most likely not the current market value, it's more or less a random price. If someone buys it: Party time for the seller!
