RPN vs AOS: a new look into the past?
New year first weekend, time to reorganize some downloaded documents on calculators.

I found this Texas datasheet where there is a comparison between RPN to AOS systems, downloaded from DATAMATH.
Now, have a look to some of the Texas reasons to have chosen Algebraic instead of RPN:

"You don't have to rearrange the equation, or remember what's in the stack as with RPN"

"AOS remembers both numbers and operators, so you key-in your equation left-to-right. RPN only remembers numbers, you have to remember operations and the order"

"A calculator with full AOS remembers both the numbers and functions in its register stack. And performs them according to algebraic hierarchy."


And the best pearl to be used as an elevator pitch should be:
"TI's unique Algebraic Operating System makes the calculator part of the solution. Not part of the problem"
