 HP 35s July 25, 2008
My first HP was the 35 and I've been been buying HP's (lots of them)since the 70's. Used the 33s for 2 years but I was disappointed in the display and buttons but liked many other features. The 35s retains the good features of the 33s but with a number of improvements such as the equation editor and improved button (Enter) location. The 35s is just what I've been looking for - well done HP.
Excelent Return to HP Quality July 21, 2008
What can I say? This is an excellent low priced non graphical scientific calculator using RPN entry.
I like the "Classic" look and feel, and have enjoyed using it to solve some simple and not so simple problems I give to my classes (such as Newtons Law of cooling for dead bodies, Radioactive decay, percent oxygen bound to hemoglobin etc).
A great buy for those who do not need a CAS of graphing capabilities!
I highly recommend it!
HP 35s July 6, 2008
The calculator was functional. I had to learn a different way of working with it, as it does not have a equal button. The dual display is a little difficult to work with, if you have never dealt with it before. My last scientific calculator was a HP 22S which was over 18 years old and unfortunatley broke. I just have to get use to dealing with the newer methods and techniques of this calculator. HP does make a great product and I'm sure over time I will learn to work with this new model also.
HP35s Perfect for RPN based technical math. July 4, 2008
I went to Texas A&M in 1981 so I learned math with RPN and the HP 10C. It is great to have something as durable and easy to use as that older model. This one just adds icing to the cake by adding programmability.
 Excellent -- but not for complex math July 1, 2008
It's a fine calculator. I won't go over RPN vs. algebraic and the other features so thoroughly covered in other reviews here. Let me focus on the only "con" that limits it from being a great calculator:
It has lousy handling of complex values.
What do I mean by lousy? I'm not so bothered by the lack of rectangular to polar and back. What I AM bothered by is:
-- No complex square root or square
-- No complex log10 or 10^x
-- No complex hyperbolics
-- etc, etc, etc.
In short, the complex math functions of this calculator are pretty much limited to +-*/ and a smattering of other functions (ln, e^x, y^x). I mean, come on -- a calculator that handles complex numbers but gives you an error for sqrt(-1)?!? We can use the smattering of supported functions to compute some of the missing functions above, but why should we need to??
Most of my use is engineering, where log10 is important. If you never need to compute a dB, this calculator might fit your needs. For me, I'll probably return it.
