I wanted to highlight this project for those interested in the LUA programming on HP50g, the author has written a guide for installation (README.TXT) and made several examples that are in the "samples" subfolder, better than I could do I ;)

P.S. HPLua requires ARM ToolBox -->  http://www.hpcalc.org/details/6090

Hello, new official version can be found at ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/calculators/Prime/

As stated by Tim on http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-6085.html:

This is a major release with a lot of new functionality, and extensive under the hood work in prep for later things. The marketing "blurb" is as follows:

  • Use the touch screen to move and stretch your function plots and see how your changes affect the equation
  • Enhanced touch screen curve sketching with cubic support
  • Add a picture to the background of any graph
  • Draw your own fit with your finger in the Statistics 2Var app
  • Improved help throughout the system
  • Quality and reliability improvements


Note: Due to a need to format the internal flash structure of the calculator, all data will be lost during this update. Perform a "backup" using the connkit to save your data if there is anything you need to keep. If you click the "backup" button on the update screen and it immediately pops up a "failed" message, just click backup again and it should be fine.

The manuals are not yet ready for posting as they were delayed due to some unfortunate circumstances. On calculator help is up to date however.

No, the interpretation is ambiguous for calculators!

Exceptions[edit]
There exist differing conventions concerning the unary operator − (usually read "minus"). In written or printed mathematics, the expression −3^2 is interpreted to mean 0 − (3^2) = −9,[1][5] but in some applications and programming languages, notably Microsoft Office Excel (and other spreadsheet applications) and the programming language bc, unary operators have a higher priority than binary operators, that is, the unary minus (negation or +/-) has higher precedence than exponentiation, so in those languages −32 will be interpreted as (−3)^2 = 9.[6] This does not apply to the binary minus operator −; for example while the formulas =-2^2 and =0+-2^2 return 4 in Microsoft Excel, the formula =0-2^2 returns −4. In cases where there is the possibility that the notation might be misinterpreted, a binary minus operation can be enforced by explicitly specifying a leading 0 (as in 0-2^2 instead of just -2^2), or parentheses can be used to clarify the intended meaning.

Similarly, there can be ambiguity in the use of the slash ('/') symbol in expressions such as 1/2x.[7] If one rewrites this expression as 1 ÷ 2 × x and then interprets the division symbol as indicating multiplication by the reciprocal, this becomes:

1 : 2 * x = 1 * (1/2) * x = (1/2)*x.

With this interpretation 1/2x is equal to (1/2)x.[1][8] However, in some of the academic literature, implied multiplication is interpreted as having higher precedence than division, so that 1/2x equals 1/(2x), not (1/2)x. For example, the manuscript submission instructions for the Physical Review journals state that multiplication is of higher precedence than division with a slash,[9] and this is also the convention observed in prominent physics textbooks such as the Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifshitz and the Feynman Lectures on Physics.[nb 1] Wolfram Alpha changed in early 2013 to treat implied multiplication the same as explicit multiplication. Formerly, implied multiplication without parentheses was assumed to bind more strongly than explicit multiplication. 2x/2x, 2·x/2·x, and 2(x)/2(x) now all yield x2.[10] Newer Texas Instruments calculators (TI-83 or later) also yield x2 in all three cases.[11]
