  • Calculating Numerical Roots = = 1.37480222744
    #10 in Fundamentals of Applied Math Series Calculating Numerical Roots Richard J. Nelson Introduction – What is a root? Do you recognize this number(1)? 1.41421 35623 73095 04880 16887 24209 69807 85696 71875 37694 80731 76679 73799 07324 78462 10703 88503 87534 32764 15727 35013 84623 09122 97024 92483 60558 50737 21264 41214 97099 93583 14132 22665 92750 55927 55799 95050 11527 82060 57147 01095 59971 60597 02745 34596 86201 47285 17418 64088 91986 09552 32923 04843 08714 32145 08397 62603 62799 52514 07989 68725 33965 46331 80882 96406 20615 25835 Fig. 1 - HP35s √ key. 23950 54745 75028 77599 61729 83557 52203 37531 85701 13543 74603 40849 … If you have had any math classes you have probably run into this number and you should recognize it as the square root of two, . 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.

  • Of 8 HHC 2008 Door Prizes Version 3 40 Prizes 9/6/08 This Is the Third
    HHC 2008 Door Prizes Version 3 40 prizes 9/6/08 This is the third and possibly the last version of the HHC 2008 door prize list. Check the version and date for the latest list. The committee’s goal is to have at least as many prizes as last year. See the HHC 2007 (partial) list at: http://holyjoe.org/hhc2007/Door%20Prizes%20Vers%204.pdf The prizes at HHC 2007 greatly swelled (more than doubled) at the last minute because people brought the prizes with them and didn’t email the information to the Committee to put them on the list, which is most ideal from a documenting perspective. They are documented, however, in photos. Additional prizes will be added to this list from time to time. All members of the HP User Community, HP, and resellers are encouraged to donate prizes, new or used. Please contact Richard J. Nelson at: [email protected] Usually the “prizes” are divided into two groups - the premium group and the normal group. The attendee voted Best Speaker gets first pick of the normal group. The Programming Contest winner, if we have a programming contest, the decision is still (time) pending, will get “second” pick. The rest of the attendees’ normal group winners are then drawn. Everybody then gets a chance at the premium group - usually at least two or three “high end” items. Last year we had nine such items which are shown in Table 1 reproduced from the Conference Report. All the numbers are placed back into the pot for the final premium group drawing.

  • 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.

  • HHC MMX Door Prize List Version 2 (Final) 9/19/09
    HHC MMX Door Prize list Version 2 (final) 9/19/09 The adage, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” can partially describe the HHC door prizes, and is a line from the poem GARAGE SALE by Tom Zart. One man's trash is another man's treasure Half of all purchases are sold again As one woman's junk gives others pleasure. At the buyer's own sale or to a friend. Cash and carry, no checks or credit cards So clean out your closets and the basement too With bargains in the driveways and signs in the yards. And earn some income with no taxes due. Some serve hot dogs, Kool-Aid and cut-rate pop Load up your tables and grab a good chair Some fly flags and balloons to make us stop. Then plug in a fan to stir up the air. Some will arrive before the garage sale starts The money you make you can spend again Using their vehicles as shopping carts. Shopping for yourself, loved ones or friend. This is the first version of the HHC MMX door prize list. Last year we broke all records for door prize donations. For HHC 2009 it was a “first” to have over four door prizes for each attendee. All members of the HP User Community, HP, and resellers are encouraged to donate prizes, new or used. Please contact Richard J. Nelson at: [email protected] Usually the “prizes” are divided into two groups – the premium group and the general group. The attendee voted Best Speaker gets first pick of the general group.

  • A Hewlett Packard Infrared Signal Decoder
    A Hewlett Packard Infrared Signal Decoder Martin Hepperle June 2015 – November 2017 Several Hewlett Packard pocket calculators are able to send printer output via Infra-Red (IR) signals to a small portable printer. They use an HP-specific transmission protocol which is also called “Red Eye”. This protocol is different from the better known IrDA protocol. This document gives a brief overview of the format and describes hard- and software to build a decoder system for this protocol. This system allows receiving the “Red Eye” signals with a computer via a serial or an USB interface. Printers with IR Interface In 1987 HP introduced the small IR printer 82240A (replaced later by the improved variant 82240B). The ON/OFF switch of the printer shows a red dot when in the ON position and the IR receiver is mounted behind a transparent red window. Therefore protocol has been given the nickname “Red Eye”. HP has long discontinued the production of this printer but even today in 2015 you can still find many dealers offering their stock at relatively high prices. There is also at least one manufacturer who offers similar printers with improved technology but still understanding the “Red Eye” protocol. Several rather expensive measuring systems are still in use in automotive and heating system diagnosis so that there seems to be a market for replacement printers. On the other hand you can find used but working printers on eBay for less than 20€, if you are lucky. Figure 1: The HP 82240B printer with its “Red Eye” on/off, darkness and paper advance controls.
