The square root of a number, n, is that value when multiplied by itself equals n. 2 x 2 = 4 and = 2. Calculating the square root of the number is the inverse operation of squaring that number = n. The "√" symbol is called the "radical" symbol or "check mark." MS Word has the radical symbol, √, but we often use it with a line across the top. This is called the "vinculum" circa 12th century. The expression " (2)" is read as "root n", "radical n", or "the square root of n". The vinculum extends over the number to make it inclusive e.g. Most HP calculators have the square root key as a primary key as shown in Fig. 1 because it is used so much. Roots and Powers Numbers may be raised to any power (y, multiplied by itself x times) and the inverse operation, taking the root, may be expressed as shown below.

  • HP Calculator Programming Richard J
    HP Calculator Programming Richard J. Nelson Introduction Do you use an HP calculator that has a programming capability, and do you actually use it? Of the 24 models, see Table 1 below, 23 are on the HP website 13, or 54.2%, are programmable. If the Home and Office machines are omitted, the numbers are: 17 models, and 13 or 76.5%, are programmable. What does this mean? A program is a sequence of instructions (functions and/or data) that are keyed (or loaded) into the calculator’s memory that will solve a particular problem or provide specific information. A program capability also includes special instructions that provide prompting for inputs and labeling for outputs. Another aspect of a program capability is the ability to perform decision logic so the particular parts of a program may be changed depending on the results of previous instructions. This capability provides “intelligence” to the program. The program capability of the 10 current models ranges from very simple such as the HP-12C to very complex (and very powerful) such as the HP 50g. Older HP calculators such as the HP-71B or HP-75C used a computer like programming language called BASIC. The HP-12C and HP-15C programing language is an RPN FOCAL(1) like language, and the HP 50g uses an RPL programming language. The algebraic calculators use what may be called an Aplet programming language.
