Best calculator for the working engineer
So, right at the end of my engineering degree, my poor little Casio fx-82 died. Over the last 6 months I've been improvising with phone/computer calculators, but I've been feeling the need to purchase a new machine.
Alas, I made the mistake of asking Google for the best scientific calculators of all time. A week later that search as lead me here. After switching Galculator on Linux to RPN model and playing with a few phone apps, I've enjoyed using RPN and decided to buy an RPN calculator. My next question is - which model to buy? I don't ask for much: - I want something that will last indefinitely - I want easy calculations to be easy, fast and intuitive - I want hard calculations to be easy, fast and intuitive - Portability is a must - It do not want a MATLAB replacement, but I do want to be impressed by its abilities - a good solver and programmability are essential. So far I've considering the WP-34s, the HP 35s, and (for fun) some of Swiss Micros' remakes of the HP-15c or HP-42. If you were to purchase one new calculator at the start of your career, which would you choose and why? Thanks |
