Thank you, very useful!

+1. BTW, is anybody collecting such programs in a program library of some kind? The collective knowledge of RPN programmers shouldn't vanish in time IMHO. I know the RPL folks have their place at hpcalc.org. Is there anything alike for RPN? If true, where? d:-)

G = (1,030.469 - 1,000) / 870.545 = 0.035
So it seems a factor 2 is missing somewhere. As I'm not an engineer I wonder why the length L is divided into two parts similar to G:H (or rather |G|:|H|) to determine the peak. Why would somebody want to do that? What's the real world application of it?
Kind regards

Eddie, I tried the Julian date program and noticed that it will work only for dates since the introduction of the Gregorian calendar on October 15, 1582 (JD 2299161). Every date before produces a JD result that is off by some days, simply because the rules for leap years introduced with the Gregorian calendar did not apply earlier.
Example: date Julian Day 15C program errorIn other words, the 15C program assumes a proleptic (perpetual) Gregorian calendar, so that even dates before Oct 15, 1582 are assumed Gregorian. This means that even dates in medieval times are assumed to be given in a calendar system introduced many centuries later. This is at least not very common, so that either the program should be modified or a respective note should be added. Dieter

I have some programs on my HP-15C simulator page and some of Eddie's programs are part of the simulator distributions. I am looking forward to receiving more HP-15C programs to be published and included with the simulator. Preferably already as .15c program file with the documentation included.

The listings that your simulator creates are very nice! Congratulations! Just had a glimpse at Little Gauss. Here's a third variant: LBL C

If you define as the
This is similar to how differentiation and integration operate upon the functions fk(x) = xk/k!. Hence the similarity of Newton's Forward Difference Formula with the Taylor series expansion.

Quote: I am looking into this. I got the formulas from the Fundamental of Engineering Handbook reference book, if it helps. You determination for G and H are straight forward. Update: It seems to be a factor of 2 at peak point. Vertical curves, to my understanding, are symmetrical in a sense of tangent lines: one created from the beginning of the curve and on at the end of the curve. If a line is drawn at the intersection of the tangent line perpendicular to the base, that line bisects the length of the base. The grade is determined from where the tangent lines meet. In a perfectly symmetrical vertical curves the tangent lines meet at the curve's peak elevation. For this case: G = (y0 - I)/(L/2) and H = (I - y0)/(L/2) where y0 is the peak elevation. Some more information is provided here: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/publications/manuals/fulltext/M22-23/Vertical.pdf http://www.iowadot.gov/design/dmanual/02b-01.pdf I am not an engineer either, I just have an interest in the subject. Hope this helps, Eddie

I completely mixed up the peak point of the curve and the Vertical Point of Intersection. But I didn't realize that we're dealing with a curve (a parabola to be more specific) because it's missing in your sketch. I assumed the two intersecting lines, that's the curve. Thanks for providing the links to the papers. It clarified a lot.

Just compare these two images:
VERTICAL CURVE EQUATIONS
HP35S Vertical Curve: Elevation at Peak and at End Point
LEGENDg1 = Approach gradient in %
EQUATIONSX = g1{L/A} Your sketch suggest that (x0, y(x0)) is the Vertical Point of Intersection where instead it is the peak of the curve. I recommend to change the sketch.
Kind regards

On the HP-42S Little Gauss can be made the same size in bytes without using COMB. One step longer, however:
00 { 13-Byte Prgm }
Since we're at it, here is Gauss Little (Inverse Little Gauss :-) 00 { 21-Byte Prgm } Cheers, Gerson.

Very nice! Do you still remember that thread: Short Quadratic Solver (HP-42S)
This solution is based on it: 00 { 17-Byte Prgm }
Best regards

For those interested in the math behind it: Quadratic equation:
Solution:
Logarithmic representation of inverse hyperbolic function:
This implies:
Try to bring the solution of the quadratic equation to this form:
Substitution:
Move the negative sign through sinh-1:
Use e-x=1/ex:

How on earth did you stumble upon this? That's amazing! But it took me a while to figure out that XL is probably a typo.

Okay, I guess I figured it out:

Another interesting near-integer, not related to the above: pi^34 = 8.00010471505e16or pi^34*10-16 - pi/3*10-4 = 7.99999999529
Yet another one involving sqrt(2) and pi: 1/2*pi^34 = 141422281.793 Whether these are a coincidence or not, I don't know. Best regards, Gerson

Also, I hear the 4th root of (9^2 + 19^2/22) is pi.

That's an interesting paper. Both cases are handled. Thanks a lot for posting the link.
