Because it had only one memory register, using its memory was simple: once the number you wanted to store was on the screen, you’d press STO. Later, wanting it back, you’d press RCL.<\/p>\n
Nowadays, scientific calculators often have numerous memory registers, so storing and retrieving might not be so simple as in my high school days. However, here are a couple of general hints on how you might use the memory on a scientific calculator:\n<\/p>\n

I’ve seen both ways.<\/p>\nJack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tutoring math, you see a lot of scientific calculators.
