Subject: Scientific calculator
Date: February 14, 1994
About four years ago, NFB introduced a computer version of a
scientific calculator. The source code and users' manual were
written by Dr. Abraham Nemeth as a project of the R&D Committee.
Mr. Charles Cook, who was a member of this committee at the time,
wrote the code to run the calculator as a TSR program.
Dr. Nemeth has now agreed to return to the calculator project for
the purpose of making code changes that convert it to a
programmable scientific and general purpose precision instrument.
He will also write (somewhat later,) calculator utility programs to
meet specific needs. Utilities may include programs to calculate
standard deviation, loan amortization payments, as well as
functions applicable to various branches of science.
If you have recommendations or comments on this project, please
post them here.
