Alternate poll - Paul Dale - 11-28-2012 What advanced mathematical functions would people want in a hypothetical 43S calculator? Assume that everything in the 34S is present. Orthogonal polynomials, real and complex functions, matrix operations and programming functions. What else would people be interested in? The obvious ones are Bessel functions, Bessel Zeros, Jacobi Elliptic functions, generalised Zeta functions and additional statistical distributions. None of these are certain however, other suggestions are most welcome.
- Pauli
Re: Alternate poll - Lyuka - 11-28-2012 Hi Pauli Please add "Zero-th order Modified Bessel function of the first kind" to the list.
Re: Alternate poll - Ángel Martin - 11-28-2012 Hi Pauli, I may be listing some already in the set you mention, as I'm not really familiar with it - so pls. indulge me:
- Digamma, Polygamma So do all these many polls signify that **something** is going on...??? :-)

Ciao.....Stupid
Re: Alternate poll - Walter B - 11-28-2012 Declined. Won't sell in the US of A. So sorry! ;-)
Re: Alternate poll - Paul Dale - 11-28-2012 This looks like the SandMath list :-) Yes, the Lerch transcendent was the Zeta generalisation I was thinking of.
Re: Alternate poll - Jim P - 11-28-2012 At the risk of being told "there's a program for it already" -- TVM functions (like the Finance key on the HP50g) -- but with specific key assignments -- eg (h-shift) = N I PV FV PMT on the top row ABCDE(F?).
Re: Alternate poll - John B. Smitherman - 11-29-2012 It looks like Airbus is selling better than GW in the EU Link
Re: Alternate poll - fhub - 11-29-2012 Quote:Well, I would be interested in a few completely different things: 1) named variables 2) true data structures: lists, vectors and matrices (with comfortable addressing, e.g. v[i] or m[i,j]3) better programming structures, for example: IF-THEN-ELSE For me such programming enhancements would be much more important than any new exotic mathematical functions (which I could then simply write myelf if I really need them).

Re: Alternate poll - Walter B - 11-29-2012 AFAIK, named variables will come :-)
Re: Alternate poll - Walter B - 11-29-2012 Pardon me: who is GW??
BTW, seems strange that 11:22 a.m. is past 12:21 a.m. - just had to look twice at it. Oh, why can't ... Edited: 29 Nov 2012, 11:26 a.m.
Re: Alternate poll - John B. Smitherman - 11-29-2012 GW - Global Warming The museum curator might be amenable to replacing the am/pm time designation. I think it's a good idea. Do you know if anyone has requested this?

Re: Alternate poll - Walter B - 11-29-2012 Thanks for the explanation. We had some special airline tax in the EU recently but it was cut back due to US-American and Chinese complaints - so much about that.
About a.m. and p.m. in the museum: I bet that was no request from this side of the great pond. If you want to get rid of it, you'll have my full support - but it's up to you to start that with the museum curator.
