HP 11C Scientific Calculator
The #HP-11C was a mid range scientific programmable calculator. Compared to the previous series it would fall between the HP-33E/C and HP-34C. It also included two new features: a built-in random number generator and a backspace key that allowed numbers to be corrected a digit at a time.
Non-Programmable Features
Compared to the #HP-10C, the HP-11C also included:
- Hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic trig functions.
- Probability (combinations and permutations).
- Factorial, % change, and absolute value.
- And, as mentioned above, backspace and a random number generator.
