Changing Coordinate System; Building A Two-Dimensional Vector; Building A Three-Dimensional Vector - HP 50g User Manual

In the RPN mode, application of function V
vector in the stack, e.g., V (A) will produce the following output in the RPN
stack (vector A is listed in stack level 6:).

Building a two-dimensional vector

Function V2 is used in the RPN mode to build a vector with the values in stack
levels 1: and 2:. The following screen shots show the stack before and after
applying function

Building a three-dimensional vector

Function V3 is used in the RPN mode to build a vector with the values in stack
levels 1: , 2:, and 3:. The following screen shots show the stack before and
after applying function

Changing coordinate system

Functions RECT, CYLIN, and SPHERE are used to change the current coordinate
system to rectangular (Cartesian), cylindrical (polar), or spherical coordinates.
The current system is shown highlighted in the corresponding CHOOSE box
(system flag 117 unset), or selected in the corresponding SOFT menu label
(system flag 117 set). In the following figure the RECTangular coordinate
system is shown as selected in these two formats:
