RE: Your First Handheld?
My first calculator but really not my own calculator just borrowed
from my step-sister. She used it for her university classes year 1989. At that time I was in 11 grade High School. That calculator is the Casio fx-3900P Programmable. This calculator is my first to learn how to program by reading from the user manuel. At that age I'm really surprise that somehow I want to learn on how to program just because I wanted to cheat on the Math Test. I'm trying so hard on programming the problem of "Three Linear Equation of Three Variables" doing so by using the steps shown in the School Algebra Math book using the Matrix solver algorithm. Writing and Test for bug in program and finally success. So I use this to take a test that I did it very fast way too fast than other students in class, the test require to show the work on how to get to the answer so I just show fake work on paper because I known that teacher will not read all the work on each paper so I got "A" on this class very easily. Later on I was thinking over this and realize that in order to make any program one must know the Algorithm deeply to understand each and every steps. Once you finish a program then you really understand all of it and that will even make you remember it forever too. About a year later my step-sister changed course to a Business School MBA classes and this time she got the HP-12C I sneak around in her room found this HP-12C and quickly trying to play around with it but its not work as expected so I though that this calculator is broken and never think about this calculator in a long time. About year 2016 somehow I was refreshing my memory about HP-12C I search the internet to learn everything about HP-12C and get the real HP-12C app for Android to learn from it. I see many interesting stuff that HP-12 can do so I make a purchase from Amazon and I got the HP-12C+ Then got the HP-11C and HP-12C Platinum Remark: I end up using the HP because of the RPN programming instead of the Casio BASIC programming style.
