This is too much math for me. I would have no idea how to use it.

But even though, that looks so sweet! Great job, and thank you for the effort!

erm... what does an RPN calculator do?

[Kerbart]

Beautiful! Can you add an e^x button and a "x<->y" button? (EDIT: never mind, you titled it "swap")

Pretty please with a cherry on top?

Shoot I will just use it to calculate RT2 delay times.

erm... what does an RPN calculator do?

Results of calculations (or entering) are pushed into the stack from top to bottom (the four cells in the stack are displayed in the calculator). You perform operations on the bottom to items on the stack. The advantage is that you don't need parenthesis, so you can't forget to enter them either. For instance, 5×7+3×39 is entered as 5, [enter], 7, [×] (multiplying 5 and 7), 3, [enter] (note how 35 is now pushed up on the stack), 39, [×] (multiplying 39 and 3), [+] (adding 117 and the previously calculated 35)

Once you get used to it it's a lot easier to use than an algebraic calculator with parenthesis when you have calculations with fractions in it (as you do in orbital mechanics).

erm... what does an RPN calculator do?

It let you do type long equation without using parenthesis (when you re used to it)

To add 2 and 3 on an RPN you type 2 3 +

Can we get an full HP 48 emulation ?

Edit : and I forgot to refresh before replying

An e^x button should come with the next update is now included, please let me know what other functions you think are important too.

In other news, a new update with an "Engine Information" button that will bring up a new window where you can select the ISP of any engine at sea level or in space (for every mode in the case of multi mode engines) and it will be pushed onto the stack.

Kerbal RPN Calculator 1.2 Released.

Mainly code organisation changes but e^x sneaked in to this release! Please test it for me and report anything you don't like.
