hp calculators HP 35s Using RPN Mode hp calculators - 2 - HP 35s Using RPN Mode - Version 1.0 Calculation modes The HP 35s allows calculations to be made in “RPN” mode, in “algebraic” mode, or in “Equation” mode. Algebraic and Equation modes and programs are described in other training aids. RPN mode is the traditional way most HP calculators work. To add 1 and 2, keys are pressed in the order !#$.
