RPN

always makes me think about my HP-45 calculator.

After I wrapped ( warped??

) my mind around the basics, I found it much easier to use than using a mass of parentheses.

I think warped is right though if you’re doing lots of parenthetical stuff with normal math then I can see the attraction of RPN.

Some of the stuff we were doing ended up 6 or more levels of parantheses deep so using RPN helped quite a bit.

Very easy to lose count of parenthetical calculations which would result in rather odd (wrong) solutions.

*I used RPN all through college - on those huge original calculators the size of refrigerators - trying to remember the brand name - from 1972*

*The Wang calculator!*
