Remember.
This method of entering numbers, called Reverse Polish
Notation, is unambiguous and therefore does not need parentheses.
•
You
never
work
with
more
than
two
numbers
at
a
time.
• Use Ienter Ito separate two numbers keyed in sequentially.
• Pressing a function key immediately executes that function.
• Intermediate results appear as they are calculated, so you can check
each step as you go.
• Intermediate results are automatically stored. They reappear auto
matically as they are needed for the calculation—the last result
stored
is
the
first
to
come
back
out.
• You can calculate in the same order as you would with pencil
and
paper.
