The HP-50G is for engineers & scientists. High school students wouldn't need near the power this machine has to offer. HP really should not worry about the student market & concentrate on just making machines for professionals. That is what they do best. Leave the student market to TI & Casio.
I am an Electrical Engineeer (relay protection engineer for a utility) and I love all your videos. Very good presentation form, good explanations and overall excellent resource! Even used some of them to study for the P.E.
Hell yeah! 3 years ago your HP calculator videos helped me a ton in such a short time period, now I'm recommending this new playlist for the other engineering students who have recently bought that awesome machine! Thank you so much, again!
I had a couple of HP48's many years ago. This video has rekindled my interest in having another HP calculator, especially because RPN is available. For those who are new to RPN(Reverse Polish Notation), you'll never go back once you get accustomed to it.
Dear Mr. Crumby, I have already made nineteen videos on the HP-50g. They are all in this channel and are available for free to anyone who wants to watch them.
HP 50G is the best calculator.. I have the TI Nspire Cx CAS, but I always end up going back to my HP 50G.. You should make some videos on using the HP 50G and sell them on a DVD, I think more students that want to use it, just get a little discouraged, and the documents are not as good as the 48GX were.
Hi Professor Linares, thank you for this excellent tutorial series on the HP-50g. I see you are focused on the HP Prime now, but I'm wondering if you have any content on finding Fourier series coefficients with the HP-50g? I could only find a tutorial in Spanish without translations.
So I had an issue where I was using the manual that came with the calculator before I saw this. My function keys are not displaying what you have. I've got: edit view rcl sto> purge clear How can I adjust this?
MODE/FLAGS and check flag 117. That should set up "soft menus", that is the options will appear on top of the function keys instead of appearing on pull-down menus.
Algebraic mode as default isn't a bad move. It allows this calculator and the Prime to get into the hands of students, a new generation, breaking the TI dominance. They might not use RPN, but they might discover it. In my opinion, even in ALG it offers a far richer functionity than a Casio or TI. Everybody can have their opinion around this, but limiting to RPN only ptevented HP to reach mass. Even the Prime just serves a small segment. Very unfortunate
Are vectors and matrices relatively easy to work with on the 50g? The problem I've had with most calculators is this, defining a vector, going back and defining another vector, go back again to grab the cross product, etc
HP50g Warning: 1.) Never "insert" a blank SD card into the slot to "protect from dust". This totally DISABLES the unit. WILL NOT TURN ON. 2.) If you are ever in Equation Writer Mode and press "evaluate". This changes degrees mode into RADIANS. Most frustrating. I'm sure all Hp50g users have encountered random Deg to Rad changes. How'd that happen?
So I started messing around with my 50G without reading the manual first... The 6 options on my screen now are ________del l____ins How can I set up the originals Vectr____Matrx____List____Hyp____Real____Base , as seen on the video? Thanks!
Does anyone know how to get absolute value to work while graphing? The vertical bars that appear when you hit "ABS" don't seem to have any effect on the equation or function. The only way I've been able to graph absolute value functions is by finding the square root of the value after squaring it.
Hello I am an Engineering student and am thinking to buy a new calculator. I am wondering if HP 50g could do infinite differentiation? i.e. if I put in x^3 and it can tells me the derivative is 3x^2
+Alan Kelly d(x^2)/dx = 3x^2, the HP-50g can do that, but so can many other calculators. It can also find indefinite integrals and definite integrals. But again, I think many other calculators can do that as well.

blackshadowghoster01 And that is the truth, RPN rocks. For the P.Eng. exam? Excellent! Thanks for sharing.
This is like having Morgan Freeman explaining how to setup my HP 50g.
Hell yeah!

Thanks for all your lessons. Fantastic!

Careful with flag 119 if you're plotting absolute values. Can also be toggled via Mode, CAS settings, Rigorous on/off.
Thanks for the great video and the insight on the flag settings. Much better..
Thanks for the feedback, Mr. McMahon.

Thank you for messaging me about this updated video. Even more great setup info. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks again.

Thanks for your comments. About the Fourier series coefficients, I don't have any videos on that. Sorry.
@@rolinychupetin No worries. Your channel is so helpful to me as a second year EE student. Amazing teaching!

ah I just found your playlist with this explained. checking it out now
excellent HP50G training

1. Press button.
2. Press button (CAS).
3. Check _Rigorous option.

profe hay forma de hacerlo en español, de verdad que es muy intersante el poder aprender el manejo de esta herramienta.

hello how are you. Greetings very good videos, you could not do it in Spanish please ..
