Today, even so-called "non-technical" courses (psych, soc, bus ad, to name 3) require a vari ety of technical calculations complicated cal culations that become a whole lot easier when you have a powerful pocket calculator. Nwi kuijiiikihgiy, iliac arc quite a few such calculators around, but ours stand apart, and ahead. We started it all when we introduced the world's first scientific pocket calculator back in 1972, and we've shown the way ever since. The calculators you see here are our newest, the first of our second generation. Both offcryou technology you probably won't find In compet itive calculators for some time to come, if ever. Our HP-21 performs all arithmetic, log and trig calculations, including rectangularpolar conversions and common antilog evaluations. It's display is fully formatted, so you can choose between fixed decimal and scientific notation. Our HP-25 does all that and much, much more. It's programmable, which means it can solve automatically the countless repetitive problems every science and engineering student faces. With an HP-25, you enter the keystrokes necessary to solve the problem only once. Thereafter, you just enter the variables and press the RunStop key for an almost instant answer accurate to 10, digits. Before you invest in a lesser machine, by all means do two things t ask your instructors "about the calculations their courses require; and see for yourself how effortlessly our calculators handle them.
