SUMMARY

To add equations to the HP 50g equation library, users must first create a new sub-directory under their home directory. After creating the equation in the calculator's writer, users should send it to the stack, enter the desired variable name in single quotes, and press Sto to store it. If this process does not work, pre-creating the variable name in the file directory may be necessary. The key to success lies in understanding that users are essentially creating a variable and then storing the equation within it.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with HP 50g calculator interface
  • Understanding of variable creation and storage in HP 50g
  • Basic knowledge of file directory structure on HP 50g
  • Ability to navigate the HP50G User Guide
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to create and manage directories on the HP 50g
  • Learn about variable storage and retrieval on HP 50g
  • Explore advanced programming techniques for HP 50g
  • Review the HP50G User Guide for detailed instructions on file management
USEFUL FOR

HP 50g users, educators, students in mathematics or engineering, and anyone looking to enhance their calculator's functionality through custom equations and programs.

Does anyone know if (and how) I could add equations to my equation library?
Thanks.

Ok, so no one knows how to do that. But, I have another question.

How do I install a program on my calculator? I downloaded a program to my computer, hooked up the calculator, but I have no idea where/how to save the file so that I can use it on the calc. I tried what the manual said, but it did not work, so I am obviously doing something wrong.
 
Download HP50G User Guide and it tells you how to store equations if you look under how the file structure works.

You need to create a new sub-directory under your home directory...call it what ever you feel like. Change to that directory

Create your equation in writer
Send to stack
Start new line in stack and enter your variable name in single quotes
'name'
Press Sto
You may have to pre create your variable name in the file directory if this does not work.

The reason it is so hard to find how to do it, is because you need to look for how to create a variable and store it. You are actually creating a variable then storing the equation in it.

Hope this helps
