Introduction
The HP 39gII Graphing Calculator is an easy to use, yet powerful graphing calculator designed for secondary mathematics education
and beyond. This quick start guide covers basic tasks, such as entering and editing expressions, plotting graphs, and making tables of
values. This guide also serves as an introduction to HP Apps. Finally, advanced topics, like working with lists or matrices, are also intro-
duced. It is highly recommended you refer to the HP 39gII Graphing Calculator User's Guide on the product CD for more information
about any topic presented in this guide. This manual makes use of certain conventions with text to differentiate between key presses and
on-screen display options:
• Keyboard keys are represented by letters or words with the first letter capitalized representing the keys' functions, for example, Symb
(Symbolic).
• SHIFT, when followed by the Letters or Words representing the keyboard keys and (Letters or Words), indicates the shifted functions
of the keyboard keys printed at the bottom of the keys, for example, SHIFT Math (Cmds).
• Menu items for menu keys are spelled out in CAPITAL letters, followed by the term, menu key.
• Field names, choose box options, and other on screen text appear in BOLD.
• Numbered keys are represented simply by printed numbers: 1, 5, 123.35, etc.
