In this video I talk through the functionality of the HP 12C and the HP 17BII+ financial calculators. The HP 12C is a landscape format RPN calculator that was first introduced by Hewlett Packard in 1981. I walk through an example of a time value of money calculation to calculate mortgage payments based on compounding interest. I then explain how keystroke programming works on the HP 12C. The HP 17BII++ is an evolution of the HP 17B calculator introduced in 1988. Even though they provide similar capabilities the operation of the HP 17BII++ is quite different from the HP 12C since uses algebraic notation as well as a menu-system navigated by soft keys. I show how the HP Solver function works on the HP 17BII+. The solver allows the users to enter formulae into the calculator and then solve for an unknown value. I finish by talking about the pros and cons of each model.
