In this video I will show you the very basics of your HP-12C calculator and show you what this calculator is able to do. Playlist: • HP-12C Tutorial Series
Have used the 12C since college, thru CFA, and all the way to retirement. It served me well! Hands down best financial calculator for analysts. Thanks for this video… had no idea why one of my 12Cs had reversed the decimal and commas.
I "upgraded" to a platinum version after using the regular for 20 years... and the damn thing tells me that I am in RPN mode all the time. I know that. Can I delete the annoying display, but have the calculator in normal RPN mode?
I recently purchased an HP12C Gold calculator. Sometimes, when I am performing discounted cash flow problems, and have to press the time period followed by the 'n' key, the display goes blank. When I press the ON button, it shows "PR ERROR." I clear the register before turning off the calculator. Any suggestions?
I work in the mortgage industry, and my old calculator I must have forgotten how I used it. I've used Excel so long but I really wanted to get back to doing everything on a calculator. This is definitely not my HP IIB. Do you have videos about mortgage and investment in more detail?
Can any tell me how to do an Algebraic equation in RPN and use them for N (years) and I (interest)?!?!?! Anytime I use the G key like I'm advised the next button I hit next gives me "error 2" no matter what it is.
I'm trying to figure out how to erase a number if I accidentally make a mistake while typing. Does anyone know how? I can't find this information anywhere.
Hello, thank you for your presenting. I would really love to know, if I have input several numbers (eg. 1 2 3 for standard deviation), suddenly i realized I input 1 twice without 2. Is there a way I can search the previous numbers I input and change the 1 to 2? Is this function viable? Texas calculator has this function, but I couldn't find on hp anywhere.....so annoying.
Sometimes it's nice to just sit down with a pad of paper, a pen and a good calculator to do your sums. It's nice to not ALWAYS rely on modern computers.
The HP 12C is a completely obsolete calculator that costs 5 times more than any modern calculator with millions of extra features. In the exact courses, the teacher asks the students to buy a calculator and each student chooses a different model and learns how to use it. Only in financial math courses students are REQUIRED to buy the HP 12C and have to learn how to use it to key the key. I do not know if the students in this area are stupider than the exact ones or if the teachers in this area are stupid and only know how to teach using this calculator. The result is a technological backwardness of 30 years and an unnecessary expenditure of money. It was the extra time that students spend to learn how to use it. This calculator: There is no alphanumeric display, It uses "Polish reverse logic" that is not intuitive and is what makes learning difficult, It has no advanced editing feature of the number entered, It does not save the calculation history. To evidence bad faith in this process. Suffice it to say that there are mobile apps that emulate this calculator. Then no one else would need to buy it. But that no one teaches.
I think this is not really a calculator to use for beginners, Im not sure why so many schools make finance students use it. Maybe once someone gets more in the profession and doesent need all the alphanumeric display and making many errors therefore needing more editing. As well if someone is not sure of the equations they use and needs to go back often to check their calculations they will need one of the more basic calculators. This one is for the more advance.

This is the most helpful video on the basics behind the HP 12C that I have found! Thank you for ending the head aches!
I love when 30 secs in I have all my questions answered, thanks!
You're the most helpful leprechaun I've ever met. Thank you, sir.
Thanks, really helpful, saved a lot of time getting the logic behind it explained.
I hate this calculator but i like your video. Thank you very much you are a life saver. God bless.
Thank you......I have Subscribed to your Tutorial Videos. Glad you are here!!!
Thank you for this video. Very helpful.

How do you put parentheses please?
Super helpful - thank you!

but good video
Hello. Where can I find a picture guide of the basic keys for this calculator to keep with me? thanks

What is the point of this calculator over a computer?
exam room
Taha Moin Do people use this in financial programs at Universities?
skeptic moderate its used for CFA and FRM

You said “stupider” instead of “more stupid”, just thought that was hilarious!!
@@MisterFX2012 stupider is grammatically correct bruv
Texas BA II plus is the best financial calc. The flow of key is just easy to understand, not like this HP12C
Thank you!
Thank you!
