HP-32S

HP-32S

The HP-32S was a programmable RPN Scientific Calculator introduced by Hewlett-Packard in 1988 and discontinued in 1991. It continued the tradition of the HP-15C programmable RPN Scientific Calculator. But some functions of the HP-15C were omitted (matrix calculations) and some were reduced in functionality (complex calculations), so to some extent it's more correct to say that the HP-32S rather expanded on the HP-34C. It supported complex math, statistics, probability, etc.

HP-32SII

The HP-32SII added algebraic math, fractions and a second shift key. This was introduced in 1991 and discontinued in 2002.
