It is programmable in terms of storing and repeating keystrokes plus some simple logic, and it has 6 built-in programs for:finding roots, numerical integration,complex operations,3x3 matrix ops,quadratic equation, and curve fitting... No ->Q or ->Q(pi), tho. I think I got mine for about $45-$50... -- Aerin el Supreo Inteligencia | "Fly, Fleance, fly!!!" ... ttoupin@diana.cair.du.edu | "Well, kill it and get it Unversity of Denver | over with!
