 Excellent guide Nov 02, 2009
This is a very prolific well written book. Examples and complete information available and well referenced.
not only a guide to the use of the calculator but is a great addition to helping grasp Calculus.
 Typographic problems Sep 11, 2008
I would give this book five stars, but it appears that it was printed with the wrong font, and many of the symbols in the code samples have been replaced by a small square. Although I usually can figure out what was intended, this does make the book harder to use.

Just what the doctor ordered. Mar 10, 2007
One of the reviewers above gave a pretty negative review citing that this material was covered elsewhere in the hp user manuals and on hp's own site. That may be true. What the other reviewer failed to mention was the fact that HP includes a very stripped down version of the 800+ page actual manual and this book, and it's sister volume, are a godsend. The calculator is easy enough for most utility, but these manuals quickly help you get down to doing your required operations much more easily. I can't recommend these books enough, as I've found them extremely helpful in the TI dominated environment of my College. I've got the HP-50g btw, thought I should mention that, as these manuals instructions cover this calc well enough.

 Rehash of HP documentation and tutorials Oct 18, 2006
I was hoping for lots of new sample programs, and new or more complex examples than what is available in the offical HP manuals. However, almost everything in this book is copied from existing HP documentation and promotional material. Most of the examples are verbatim copies of the stuff already in the HP manuals. Very little in the way of new code, or even new examples of using the builtin utilities and commands. If you have access to the .pdf versions of HP's manuals and tutorials (available at the HP calculator web site), you'll have 99% of what these two books have.

Helpful Oct 01, 2006
This book has helped me out a lot through Calculus and DE courses. Detailed examples and everything you'd expect a good manual to have. It should be noted that HP has released an updated complete manual available only for download (800+ pages) that is a lot better than the original. In light of that, this book is not a nessesity but it's still nice to have for science applications.
