    What a great video, Professor. I am a 65 year old ex=psychologist that cut my teeth on an HP-65 in 1976. Of course, I've moved up the line and actually did my 2nd MS degree experimental data analysis on an HP-41C. I even used the HP-41C for the experiments and data capture. Anyway, your excellent video convinced me to get a Prime, mainly to monkey around with. Just when I thought the glory days of HP calculators was over, wham! There's prime. I still have many HP calcs in the collection (HP-16c, HP-65, 41C, 41CX, HP-34s, HP-42s, HP-33E, HP-45, HP-35, HP-80) and use them all occasionally. So I guess you would call me (in your words) a dye in the wool RPN kind of guy. Thank you again. You must be an excellent teacher.
  • The best introduction to the HP Prime I have seen so far. Thank you for the good job.

    Thank you for your video. This is my go to channel in learning the HP50G and HP Prime and their application in Electrical Engineering. I just got my HP Prime today and I am very happy with my new toy.
  • Thank you; I'm an Italian chemical engineer and I'm a fan of RPN as I cut my teeth on my sliding rule and then on an HP 45, HP25 (not C) and on an HP 65. Particularly programming the HP 25 I did in two hours the work other did in 2 days, and this was a powerful support for my career. I don't do such calculation anymore, but I always try to have an HP calculator

    Great video, I have just bought an HP Prime for my nephiew, he wants to study enginnering, so in my opinion this is a very good Xmas gift, I had an HP 48GX when I was studying engineering in the 90s, a great machine, expensive but worth every penny I paid for it, but, as always, you need to start by the basics and learn how to use it to get the full potencial of it, thanks for the video and merry Xmas (2023 :) )

    Noooooo my HP50, please stay strong...It reminds me of sitting in Dr.Linares's class and all those good memories.

    Always enjoy your videos Professor - thank you! Started my HP journey as an EE student a long time ago with the 28s. Upgraded to the 48g and then the 49g. Bought a Prime a few years ago. Now my oldest is in college studying to be an EE. I gave him my 49g, but I'm thinking about getting him a Prime for Christmas. My original 28s no longer works, but I found a 28c on eBay today for $40. The only difference between the 28c and the 28s is the amount of memory. I love my Prime, but I can't wait to play with the 28c - where my HP journey started :)
  • Thank you very well done. I have used RPN so much and have almost forgot it, I can use it if I want, but at other times love the algebretic.
  • @trexinvert
    Can we do everything especially vector calculations that were done on the hp50g with the Prime?

    Gracias Profesor, encantado de haberme topado con este video. Soy un Ingeniero químico con ya más de 20 años en ejercicio. Estaba en una de comprar unas calculadoras con RPN más que todo por el factor nostalgia y hasta ahora he comprado una HP 35s , una Swiss micros DM42 y finalmente adquirí una 50g que no he desempacado aún. En mi época de estudiante la competencia era entre las HP-48s/sx, HP-48g/gx y Casio Fx-850/880 Pero ya después de ver su video, estoy pensando en comprar la PRIME.
