 The HP 35s SOLVER displays the first variable encountered in the equation as it begins its solution, in this 
case the variable V. The value of 0.0000 is displayed below if this is the first time the equation has been 
solved on the HP 35s calculator. If any previous equations have used this variable, it will display the value 
presently held in the variable. Enter the...

hp calculators - 2 - HP 35s  Using random numbers for simulations - Version 1.0 
Random numbers 
 
Random numbers have uses as varied as games and stock market simulations. On the HP 35s, generating random 
numbers involves providing a starting decimal seed to the calculator using the !! function. Random numbers 
between 0 and 1 are then generated sequentially using the # function.  
 
A different series of random numbers will be...

lowest possible valid value of rolling a die is 1, the process to transform a decimal random number into a 
value between 1 and 6 will be: 
 
 Result = The integer value of ( the random number x 6 plus 1 ) 
 
 It is necessary to multiply the decimal random number generated by 6, add 1 and take the integer value of 
the result. Since two die are to be rolled,...

Sinking Funds 
 
A sinking fund is an annuity where a specific value in the future is needed, which is accumulated through a series of 
regular payments. These types of problems often occur when saving for a goal, such as retirement or college tuition.
