Preface You have in your hands a compact symbolic and numerical computer that will facilitate calculation and mathematical analysis of problems in a variety of disciplines, from elementary mathematics to advanced engineering and science subjects. Although referred to as a calculator, because of its compact format resembling typical hand-held calculating devices, the HP 50g should be thought of as a graphics/programmable hand-held computer. The HP 50g can be operated in two different cal

For symbolic operations the calculator includes a powerful Computer Algebraic System (CAS) that lets you select different modes of operation, e.g., complex numbers vs. real numbers, or exact (symbolic) vs. approximate (numerical) mode. The display can be adjusted to provide textbook-type expressions, which can be useful when working with matrices, vectors, fractions, summations, derivatives, and integrals. The high-speed graphics of the calculator produce complex figures in very little time.
