One item in the most recent hp solve newsletter, was news of the announcement of three new models at last month's Consumer Electronics show. I didn't know.
But now I know they exist. So, I'll have to get info about these three new hp calculators and get back to you: EasyCalc 100, SmartCalc 300s, OfficeCalc 300. Just based on the newsletter, it looks like I wouldn't mind a SmartCalc 300s for myself.
This edition also has some interesting trivia on the announcement of new models over the years.
The previous edition contained a calculation for the number pi that I had never heard of either. But it's so simple. You take 113355 and split it down the middle, divide the latter by the former so 355/113 and the result is pi accurate to six decimal places. I've been a mathematician for many years and I don't think anyone ever showed me that trick. Cool. Can I have a slice of 355/113, please. It's also possible I knew at one time, but have forgotten. You saw that I said "many years," right?
