I'm absurdly excited to learn that 2024 = 2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³.

...and it's because:

2025 = 45², and

45=1+2+⋯+9, and

(1+⋯+𝑛)²=1³+⋯+𝑛³ !

The world is terrible, please show me the calculator you use on your desk as a daily driver

This seems like it might be an extreme niche nowadays, but how many of you use an HP calculator (graphing or not) in RPN mode? Or, perhaps other calculator apps in RPN mode?

I was introduced to RPN by a civil engineer when I was in college, and I’ve never looked back. However, most other mechanical engineers I know don’t use it.

Hey lovely Mastodon folk. I've just released an HP-35, HP-45, HP-80 simulator called HP-1973 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the HP-45 calculator. (Free) standalone versions for Mac and WIndows (no need for any Python installation or knowledge) & Python source for Linux. It's been a coding marathon, so it'd mean a lot to me if you could boost this post, so it gets in front of the right people. Download here: https://sarahkmarr.com/retrohp1973.html Enjoy. #retrocomputing #calculators #python #coding #rpn

In praise of Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) with Python or C

For whatever reason, RPN didn’t really succeed in the general marketplace, and you might wonder why it was ever a thing. The biggest reason is that RPN is very easy to implement compared to working through proper algebraic, or infix, notation. In addition, in ...continues
