[QUOTE=Galena] Sorry, **sinjin** , I missed your post. You’re awesome too. And yes, RPN is a perfectly valid term developed by a very forward (or backward, as the case may be..hehe…) thinking Polish mathematician. But young, impressionable students with their TI-83’s tend to think you’re making a pollock joke when you first mention it. Of course, they never ask to borrow your calculator again. [/QUOTE] OK how geeky is this? We currently have 7 HP RPN calculators including a 35 that still works. 🆒 And what’s up with everyone listing engineers as geeky in this Fued? Oh, wait, what, nevermind. :smack: ---
