Basic functions of the HP-12c Platinum Calculator

Basic functions of the HP-12c Platinum Calculator

[@victoriabray673]

OMG!!! Thank so very much for the information on this calculator that I just purchased for my Family Finance class. I'm in college at 55 almost 56 years old to become a Family Consumer Science Teacher. The laws have changed that all high school students must take a financial class. I'm not a well versed person when it comes to math. I purchased this calculator to hopefully help me now and as a future educator.

Thank you very much this video was very helpful. I really appreciate you taking your time to make an intimidating device seem like it's something I can really work with now 😊

David I appreciate your Advice! I used to Be in the mortgage biddness years ago and had the gold one! I loved it! Someone borrowed it, never brought it back. Now, I have started using the 12 C that arrived today. I am in Oilfield and wanted another so I have another. We do algebra equations daily in drilling rig and I thought this will work. Thanks again!

There are a lot of functions that are on the 11c or 15c that aren't on the 12c. For example, there's no pi input on the 12c. If you need to do algebraic equations, you might want to look for an 11c or 15c for the similar format.

I own a new 15C

Correction! Was wrong! I just bought the 12CP and I can do squared formulas real easy. I used to own the older gold one when I was a mortgage broker. I am a drilling consultant now and drilling deep high pressure gas and oil wells now. This 12CP is so much better than what I was using(cheap one). Does anyone know if I can store 100 or so of the formulas I mainly use for WellControl and recall them as I need them? I would have to be able to list them of course to be able to pull the right one up in a split second.

@@joebillmoad3436 I know that it is programmable, but I've never used that functionality. Here's a link for programming hints. You may find it useful: literature.hpcalc.org/community/hp12c-proghints.pdf

Nice video, David. I used an HP-15c, scientific calculator, to get through engineering school in the 80s.

Anyone know how to find Pi on the HP 12c Calculator, thanks so much.

[@TheFinancialAdvocacyPodcast]

Pi isn't needed or used on a financial calculator. Get an 11c or 15c scientific calculator.

@@TheFinancialAdvocacyPodcast Do they still sell the 15c? if so where, thanks again.
