RPN vs WP 34s

RPN-70 HD is a complete, photo-realistic simulation of the financial hand-held calculator HP-70 from 1974. It handles loan amortization, saving plans, depreciation, and much more with ease. What users said: "Hard to find a decent calculator on iPad, try this one." "I don't normally write reviews but RPN-70 is just too fantastic to not get excited about. Apple should list this app under their Education category in the App Store and make it a must have for every college bound student. It is the best HP emulator in the market." "An incredibly well-engineered calculator app, and free, to boot!" "This is a really cool Financial calculator. Just like using the original HP-70. Accurate to the penny." Features: • Photo-realistic look based on an existing device • "Live" register view in landscape mode • Animated keys with click sound (adjustable volume) • All functions and operations of the HP-70 fully implemented • Simulation of the HP-70's computation time (optional) • Correct wrong number entries by swiping left across the display • Cut/copy/paste of display value • Visual indicators keep track of stored input parameters (optional) • Stack shown right below display (optional) • 10 non-volatile memory registers (optional) • Built-in short manual with many examples The HP-70 was discontinued after just one year. It is one of the rarest calculators, hard to find in any condition. NOTE: RPN-70 HD is a faithful simulation of a vintage HP-70 calculator, as has been verified against a real device using the examples in the Applications Cookbook section of the HP-70 manual. In certain cases, what may appear like a bug of the app is actually an idiosyncrasy of the HP-70. IMPORTANT: The HP-70 requires exactly three input parameters from the top-row keys, at least one of them being either "n" or "i". In other words, you can't use PMT, PV, and FV as input parameters simultaneously. A version for the iPhone named "RPN-70 SD" is also available. Visit the website: www.cuveesoft.ch

WP 34s is the most powerful and complete implementation of a classic RPN scientific calculator. Now available on iOS too (see the support site for other emulators and for the real stuff). The function set of the WP 34S is based on the most powerful programmable RPN calculators built so far and we expanded the set, incorporating programmer functions (base 2, 8 & 16), a fraction mode, probability distributions, a stopwatch... We also included numerous additional useful functions for mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering, programming, I/O, etc., such as: + Euler’s Beta and Riemann’s Zeta functions, Bernoulli and Fibonacci numbers, Lambert’s W, the error function, and the Chebyshev, Hermite, Laguerre, and Legendre orthogonal polynomials (no more need to carry heavy printed tables), + many statistical distributions and their inverses: Poisson, Binomial, Geometric, Cauchy-Lorentz, Exponential, Logistic, Weibull, Lognormal, and Gaussian, + programmable sums and products, first and second derivatives, solving quadratic equations for real and complex roots, + testing for primality, + integer computing in fifteen bases from binary to hexadecimal, + extended date and time operations and a stopwatch3 based on a real-time clock, + financial operations such as mean rate of return and margin calculations, + 88 conversions, mainly from old Imperial to universal SI units and vice versa, + 50 fundamental physical constants as accurate as used today by national standards institutes such as NIST or PTB, plus a selection of important constants from mathematics, astronomy, and surveying, + Greek and extended Latin letters covering the languages of almost half of the world’s population (upper and lower case in two font sizes), plus mathematical symbols.
