OVERVIEW

With its 128KB total memory (80.7KB available to the user), huge built-in constant library and structured programming for creating applications, the HP48GII keeps reliable, high-level assistance at hand for demanding engineering and surveying applications.

Ideal for engineering, computer science, surveying, trigonometry, calculus, statistics, geometry, biology, chemistry, physics, and more.

Customize your input by choosing familiar textbook, traditional algebraic or efficient RPN entry modes.

If your classroom or lab work requires communication for experiments, this is your tool -- includes a serial port connectivity kit. View 3D graphs and 2-and 3-D plots and other functions with ease on the comfortably-sized display.

Permitted for use on SAT I, SAT II Math IC/IIC, PSAT/NMSQT, AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Chemistry, AP Physics.
