Using the HP-12C Calculator: The Basics Paperback – May 12, 2009

The conversational style of writing makes for easy learning.

It says in the title, "the basics" I just didn't realize it would be for 5 year olds... seriously, this guide is too basic. It doesn't get into the types of calculations for which one would buy this calculator. Most people buying the 12C will already know how to do the calculations taught in this book. I recommend using the guide that comes with the calculator and take yourself out to lunch.

I have several books on the HP12C and IMO this is the clearest and simplest introductory book on the subject. It is applicable to the HP12C and Victor V12 calculators. Although not an encyclopedic treatment, it covers all the basics for the HP12C. It is intended for National Uniform Real Estate Appraiser exam candidates but it would also be useful for candidates for the CFP and CFA exams. I personally used it as a supplement in a UCLA extension course in personal financial planning and found it extremely helpful. Highly recommended for anyone who needs to learn the basics of the HP12C calculator quickly.

Not what I was looking for.

ADD THE TIRONE BOOK AND YOU HAVE A GREAT COMBINATION. HOWEVER, BEST ELEMENTARY BOOK ON THE 12C IS THE HP 12C TRAINING GUIDE FROM HP, NOW LONG OUT OF PRINT.
