Allow me to second you, Etienne.

When good words express our thoughts, it is easier to follow them.

Cheers.

I don't fathom the meaning of the numeric displays, if such exists. The two 34S's are displaying the speed of light (c) and a form of Plank's constant (h-bar) which gives us CH. I can't see the pattern behind the 34C's and 42S's displays however.

The 42 is [1,pi] in polar.

Not sure about the 34C.


#11

I noticed the rectangular version was close to PI. Didn't try the reverse to check, but you are quite correct.
