HP Prime information sources

prime10The HP Prime is beginning to reach cruise speed. If you want to see the kind of software, tutorials and documentation that it is being produced, here is a link you should visit:

 

http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-818.html

(HP-Prime: Math Tutorials!)

 

This page is in the ubiquitous hpmuseum.org website. While the museum as such was created for the HP calculators of the past, the new HP Prime is getting a lot of attention by the residents, and it has a forum of its own. The one above is the top thread of the forum. It includes tutorials, videos, etc., with a strong focus on educational resources - not that the writer puts the focus there, but due to the fact that most of the material available is educational.

 

(for any calculator lover, hpmuseum.org is a must-see site. The wealth and depth of information there is enormous. And if you don’t find what you were looking for, you will securely find there a link to it.)

 

hpcalc.org is another very interesting site. It is a mandatory site for anyone with interest in the hp48/49/50 family of calculators - you will find there most of the software even developed for it. It also has a department for the HP Prime. You can find it here, at the beginning of the page:

 

http://www.hpcalc.org/

 

The software there is educational too. At this point in time there is not so much of it, and you can find there the early efforts of community members, exploring the possibilities of programming in HP Basic. So you can’t expect a general theory of relativity yet.

 

HP’s own site is including a lot of dedicated mathematical tutorials, so that educators can integrate the HP Prime in their teachings. There are all the manuals and guides as well:

For the Spanish readers, there is a series of videos in YouTube introducing and explaining the HP Prime (in Spanish!)

If you’re English speaker, you can see David Hays's "Technology in College Algebra" learning videos. There are currently 42 of them, already addressing quite complicated issues (compared with the above, that is)

 

Finally, there are a couple of videos about the new wireless feature. (Yes, it was intended to be available from the beginning, but it will work only with Prime hardware Revision C, corresponding to calculator model G8X92AA. All Primes sold by us are G8X92AA models)
