Subject: Purpose of 48SX "Solve Equation Library Card"?

I am about to order a HP 48SX and am wondering whether I should also purchase
the "HP Solve Equation Library Application Card".

    *  What exactly is the purpose of this card?
    *  What does it allow me to do that the "Solver" menu does not offer?
    *  I understand that this card contains a Table of Elements.  Would this
       allow me to easily calculate the molecular weight of compounds?

Do any "Step-By-Step Solution Books" exist specifically for the HP 48SX, or do
the books for the 28S apply to the SX as well?  Given that my background in C
programming, is there a book that would teach me the basics of the SX's
programming language, or are the standard reference manuals sufficient?

Thanks for any information...
