Pull up a copy of HP-27S/19B Technical Applications (and of course the 27S UG) from the Museum DVD and learn the Solver.

Then search the Forum (OLD & NEW) for great articles from Don Shepherd and then, when you think you have it mastered, search for an article w/title something like "Long Equation for HP17B Solver" from Gerson IIRC. Astounding stuff, implementing the Trig functions and much more.

Keep in mind the Solver is the same for the 19B/19BII, 27S, 17B and 17BII, so you have to widen your search to get all the interesting Solver articles.

Thanks for your excellent hints, Bob!
I don't have the MoHPC DVD yet, that will be one of my next acquisitions.
And that Solver from the 80's is just amazing!
