For example i've written programs to convert HEX to BIN, DEC to HEX and so on. I think i might have even had an LC tank calculator set up back in highschool during physics class. Basically if there were any repetitive calculations i'd just write a program to do it. Not sure if there are any calculators that let you plug just an equation in. --- End quote --- TI-82 might be good, I'll check it out, though. --- End quote --- Thats one of their few graphing calculators that doesn't have a numeric solver, possibly the worst combination of all features/choices for what you stated. --- End quote --- TI-82 is also very old and slow, i just have mine because i found it at the flea market for 3 bucks. I'd look for something newer like TI-84 for example. There are also other programmable calcs, for example i also have a SHARP EL-9900, but these particular ones are plagued by defective LCD ribbon cables and mine is no exception, so i'd avoid these. But it is about 2 to 3 times faster than my TI-82 STATS. But that's just as an example that TI are not the only ones producing calcs like these. PS: you might also find calulator emulators for your phone, but those might be a bit awkward to use. |

Another vote for swissmicros They have really nice calculators, based on the old HP system. |

I have a Casio FX-6300G that can do this sort of thing. I'd imagine any vintage programmable scientific calculator (Casio and Radio Shack brands especially) can do it. I don't think that most modern non-graphing calculators can do this. (Technically the GC-6300G is a graphing calculator, but just barely.) |

I have a TI 36xpro, which is surprisingly cheap but great, it's easy to make an eqn in the display, w/ variables in memory. IDK if u can use the table and stats w/ eqns that way |
