  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphing…
  A graphing calculator (also graphics / graphic calculator) typically refers to a class of handheld scientific calculators that are capable of plotting graphs, solving simultaneous equations, and performing numerous other tasks with variables. Most popular graphing calculators are also programmable, allowing the user to create customized programs, typically for scientific/engineering and education applications. Due to their large displays intended for graphing, they can also accommodate several lines of text and calculations at a time. Integration / Differential Equation calculation Matrix calculations / Vector calculations Complex number calculation CALC function / SOLVE function Base-n calculation Fraction calculation Combination and Permutation Logarithm log List-based STAT data editor Standard deviation Paired-variable statistics regression analysis Logical operations Table function 40 scientific constants 40 metric conversions (20 conversion pairs) 9 variable memories Comes with new slide on hard case

  The calculator you’ll want to hold on to.
  Say hello to the evolution of handheld calculating in a
  sleek, slim, brushed metal design that looks great and
  performs even better. Keep the calculator protected when
  it’s not in use with a slide
  -on cover.
  Enjoy a feature-rich calculating experience with familiar HP
  keypad and a large 3.5-inch diagonal, multi-touch display.
  Powerful applications.
  We don’t stop at hardware. You also get an integrated tool
  suite. HP Equation Writer supports multiple linear and non-
  linear equation solving. HP Solve is time-saving application
  that allows you to store equations and solve for variables.
  Explore math concepts with Dynamic Geometry, CAS and
  spreadsheet applications. Easily switch between symbolic,
  graphical, and numerical table views of any mathematical
  expression with dedicated buttons.
  With the Advanced Graphing app, you can plot what other
  calculators cannot. Graph virtually anything in X and Y
  including inequalities and conic sections by simply entering
  the expression and pressing plot.
  Save time and keystrokes with RPN and programmable
  functions, and see intermediate results while you work.
  Turn the calculator into a customizable testing tool with
  exam mode configuration that makes only pre-approved
  functions available.

  6. CAM #4 Part 1- Reverse Polish Notation and how to use it

  In this video we take a look at RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) and how it is used on the HP 15C (HP12C) and HP 50g.

  We look at the concept of memory stacks and the use of RPN vs algebraic notation to solve arithmetic.

  8. CAM #5 - TI-2500, HP10bII+ and calculator performance benchmarking

  In this video I talk about the vintage TI-2500 Datamath calculator I bought off eBay. I highlight the things you need to look out for when buying older calculators off eBay.

  http://www.datamath.org/BASIC/DATAMAT…

  We take a quick look at the HP10bII+ financial calculator. In the future I’ll be doing tutorials on this and the HP12C.

  I discuss the calculator performance benchmarking tools I’m putting together so we can compare the performance of all the graphing calculators.

  One of these will be the 8 / N Queens problem / algorithm:

  9. CAM #6 - Calculator Performance Benchmark / Tests

  In this video I run a calculator performance benchmark / calculator speed test (definite integral function):
  TI-36X Pro vs HP 50G vs Casio fx – 9860GII vs Casio fx – CG10 vs
  TI-nSpire CX CAS vs HP Prime vs TI-89 Titanium vs TI-84 Plus SE vs
