Scientific calculators are an amazing invention that take pocket calculators from being merely basic arithmetic machines to being pocket computers that can handle everything from statistics to alge…
The best part about using an RPM calculator (I also had an HP) was that if someone asked if they could borrow it, I could tell them that if they call do 1+1 and get 2 on it, they could use it. No one ever was successful.
RPM is great though, it’s so fast if you could quickly organize the order of operations.
I got used to RPN at University. Ever since, I literally struggle to do simple math with algebraic calculators, got an HP15X emulator in my phone, does all I need

You mean RPN, right? Reverse Polish Notation.
It’s the little used Roman Polanski Math, you ignoramus.
Lol yes. I knew what OP meant and assumed they were right and went with it.
Dear Lord I’m not the only one wondering what RPM stands for!!
