[20.12.1.1:
. hp-15c was my calculator while
getting a BA degree in Math,
it was programmable,
with a solver for calculus,
and had matrices for  linear algebra .]

hp15c on ebay? yes
-- expensively sold as vintage rare,
one though is $62
-- cheaper than new for used ok .

open source hp15c simulator
HP-15C (UNIX/Linux Windows NT4/2000/XP) (new)

  1. The version of my HP-15C Simulator available from hpmuseum.org is outdated. The latest version can be downloaded from the simulator home page http://www.hp-15c.homepage.t-online.de
