HP-32S

The HP-32S was a programmable RPN Scientific Calculator introduced by Hewlett-Packard in 1988. A model was built in 1987 by HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY in USA (sérial number 2838A13810) and discontinued in 1991. It continued the tradition of the HP-15C programmable RPN Scientific Calculator. But some functions of the HP-15C were omitted (matrix calculations) and some were reduced in functionality (complex calculations), so to some extent it's more correct to say that the HP-32S rather expanded on the HP-34C. It supported complex math, statistics, probability, etc.

HP-32SII

The HP-32SII added algebraic math, fractions and a second shift key. This was introduced in 1991 and discontinued in 2002.

gollark: Especially compared to the greater dangers of fossil fuel power, like pollution and health issues caused because of it, and in the longer term climate change.

gollark: Even the older stuff isn't even particularly dangerous.

gollark: Nuclear fission is a decent power source but nobody likes it for some reason.

gollark: I figure that our food and trees and stuff have more energy content.

gollark: Basically nobody 100 years ago, as far as I'm aware, got much about now right, except possibly vague trends.
