Introduction
The
HP-15C provides several advanced capabilities never
before
combined
so
conveniently
in a
handheld calculator:
•
Finding
the
roots
of
equations.
•
Evaluating definite integrals.
•
Calculating with complex numbers.
•
Calculating with matrices.
The
HP-15C
Owner's Handbook gives
the
basic information about
performing
these advanced operations.
It
also includes numerous
examples
that
show
how to use
these
features.
The
owner's hand-
book
is
your primary reference
for
information about
the
advanced
functions.
This
HP-15C
Advanced
Functions
Handbook continues where
the
owner's
handbook leaves
off.
In
this
handbook
you
will
find
information
about
how the
HP-15C performs
the
advanced computa-
tions
and
information
that
explains
how to
interpret
the
results
that
you
get.
This
handbook also contains numerous programs,
or
applications.
These programs serve
two
purposes.
First,
they suggest ways
of
using
the
advanced functions,
so
that
you
might
use
these capa-
bilities more
effectively
in
your
own
applications. Second,
the
programs cover
a
wide range
of
applications—they
may be
useful
to
you in the
form
presented
in
this
handbook.
Note:
The
discussions
of
most topics
in
this handbook
presume
that
you
already
understand
the
basic
information
about
using
the
advanced
functions
and
that
you are
generally
familiar
with
the
subject
matter
being
discussed.
