Hewlett-Packard’s interest in computation evolved as a natural extension
of our traditional involvement in measurement problem solving. At an
early date, HP recognized the growing need for a family of computational
products designed to work easily and effectively with scientific
instruments.

In 1966 we introduced the first digital minicomputer specifically
designed to meet this need. Soon after, we followed up with our first
programmable calculator. From these beginnings, HP has now become an
acknowledged leader in the field of computational problem solving. More
than 20,000 HP programmable calculators and digital computers are at
work in a wide range of applications in science, industry, education,
medicine, and business. Their effectiveness is further enhanced by a
complete line of accessory devices, ranging from digital tape and disc
drives to card and tape readers, printers, and plotters.

Now we’ve coupled our experience in scientific problem solving and
computational technology to bring you new dimensions in personal
computing—the HP-35 Scientific Pocket Calculator for engineering /scientific applications (with tens of thousands in the field), and the HP-80 Business Pocket Calculator for solving problems in business and finance.
