It has become part of who I am as an Engineer, and it actually transpires confidence (as another author once wrote, and I agree). The physical design is superb, and the calculator is simply beautiful. When I am away from my desk and in a lab or meeting I have found that the HP 32SII always has what I need to quick calculations and simple yet very useful programming tasks (and its programmabilit y is GREAT by the way!). What we need is versatility, ease of use, and enough functionality to be effective when we are not sitting at our desks, where there would likely be desktop access to tools like MATHCAD, MATLAB, etc. What I mean by that is that Engineers today do not really require the over abundance of functions that the more powerful units possess.
As I stated in previous reviews, it is not the most powerful, but it is one of the most useful and versatile calculators in a modern context. The HP 32SII really is the best true calculator that HP has ever designed/manufactured. I wish HP would bring back the HP 32SII as a "Special Edition Anniversary" offering. I still love it, and I will always recommend this HP model to all my engineer friends and anyone who does some heavy calculations. It has served me well over the years and I hope for many years to come. I would highly recommend this calculator to any science student or engineer who would like a very accurate and reliable calculator as their day to day work horse. I've owned several calculators since my original 32SII, but none really compare. The fact HP stopped making what I feel was the best calculator in the history of HP. HP no longer repairs this model of calculator. My only dislike about this great calculator is the inherent problems after years of use, (internal errors) all calculator have some type of problems after awhile and HP lets you run tests on the internal workings so if you do purchase one of these 32SII calculators make sure you run the built in test on all functions of the calculator. My original one began to have issues a couple of years ago, so I purchased a new model of the HP calculator (42 and 33S) both great calculator, but it was nothing like my original 32SII As an engineer I rely on my calculator on a day to day basis. I purchased this HP 32SII calculator because I originally owned one when they first came out in 1989. This program is not as accurate as the one I wrote for the HP-32S, but it sure requires a lot less program space, even though I haven't even optimized it yet, making use of capabilities in the HP-32SII not present in the Russian models, such as register recall arithmetic.Great calculator, but unfortunately they do not mfg. Make sure the calculator is in radians mode, otherwise the result will not be correct. To use the program, just enter the imaginary part, hit ENTER, enter the real part, and hit XEQ I. So here it is, a program that actually calculates the complex logarithm of the Gamma function for any complex argument. Since the B3-34 is an RPN calculator that works much like a typical HP machine, adapting the algorithm to the HP-32SII was a fairly trivial exercise. Just today, I received an e-mail from a fellow calculator enthusiast, who forwarded me some remarkable algorithms from one of the numerous Russian books dedicated to the most successful Russian programmable calculator, the B3-34. I've written an implementation of the complex Gamma function for the HP-32S, but rather than repeating it here, here's something new. So writing a Gamma function program, my favorite programming example, makes little sense.
Like the HP-32S, the HP-32SII has a built-in extended factorial function that calculates the factorial for any real argument. It also has two shift keys, simplifying menus at the expense of a more cluttered keyboard. To the already impressive capabilities of the HP-32S, this machine adds fractions support, and support for algebraic expressions. This interesting (and, I should add, very good) calculator is an improved version of the HP-32S. It took nearly two months for BID.COM to deliver my order, but finally I have an HP-32SII in my hands.
