RPN-32 CE is the first photo-realistic simulation of Hewlett-Packard's popular mid-range scientific calculator HP-32E for the iPhone. Produced from 1978 through 1983, it was the "Thyme" member of the third-generation HP calculators known as the "Spice" series. While the simulator works like the original calculator, a number of carefully designed extensions make it a lot easier to use. Unlike the HP-32E, this version is fully programmable, running virtually all programs written for the HP-25! Features: • Photo-realistic look-and-feel • Programmable (99 steps), subroutines, flags, loop control, branching • Insert and delete steps with automatic address correction • 20 registers, "continuous", with unrestricted store/recall arithmetic • Indirect register addressing • "Live" register view • Program listing view • Program library view • Store and retrieve any number of programs • Sharing: e-mail, AirDrop, Dropbox, copy, paste, print • 44 programs pre-installed • Import GO-25 programs • Export programs to RPN-25 CE Calculator functions: • Statistics (mean, standard deviation, linear regression, normal distribution) • Factorial • Trigonometric functions (degrees, radians, grads) • Polar/rectangular conversions • Hyperbolics • Inverse, square root, logarithm, exponential, pi • Storage arithmetic (store and recall) • Percent change • Percentage of Total • Unit and hours conversions • Many additional functions not found on the HP-32 Details: cuveesoft.ch/rpn32
