Overview

The calculator can be used to perform the following arithmetic operations such as

addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

trigonometry, hyperbolic trigonometry and calculations with Pi

polar, rectangular and angle conversions

powers, logs, roots and exponential functions.

The calculator has two operating modes - RPN mode and Standard mode.

The arithmetic operations available are identical, the difference lies in the way information is

entered, stored and displayed on the screen.

Reverse Polish Notation

This operating mode was developed as a way of writing mathematical

expressions without using parenthesis and brackets. Many scientific calcu-

lators, for example Hewlett Packard calculators, are implemented with this

operating mode. Values are entered and kept in a working stack.

This operating mode is based on the principles of conventional pocket

calculators. There is no stacking of values.
