HP 35s Scientific Calculator Review


This is a good product, but it is very difficult to use for people who need to use it for the first time. I purchased this calcultor to be used for Mathematics Applied to Electronics. The manual - although lengthy, was difficult to follow. Additionally, even some math tutors complained about being able to figure out how to use the calculator. There is just not enough detail for a beginner. However, should you be comfortable with higer level maths and have used a calculator for some time - like an engineering professor, you probably won't have a problem. My professor had to train me on some of the functions. I like the display - nice clear, large numbers, but be careful not to confuse the period with a comma. At certain angels they are difficult to distinguish. The cost was very reasonable. Also if you want a calculator, but do not need the graphing capabilities this is the one you should use. I tried to the TI 36XII and it was even more difficult to manuever. However, as I use the calcultor more, I am gaining an understanding of how to use it.
