* Use over 300 equations to solve science and engineering problems

Over 300 science and engineering equations and reference tools extend the
capability of the HP 48SX.  This card lets you find the right equation,
right away.  Use the HP 48SX cursor keys to browse through equation topics
such as columns and beams, electricity, and fluid flow.  Then, with the
touch of a key, you'll see a set of related equations.  Choose your equation;
the HP 48SX displays it, gives you a picture of the physical system (if
appropriate), lists the descriptions of each variable in the equation, and
then enables you to solve for any variable in the equation using HP's unique
HP Solve application.

constants, like gravity and speed of light, without having to use cumbersome
reference tables.  The HP 48SX places constants in equations where you want
them.

Periodic Table of Elements.  Press a key to view the periodic table of
atomic weights, numbers, and densities (over 25 properties in all).  You
may never need to use tables in a book again.

* Larken Publications: HP 41/48 Transitions

The HP 48 calculator is the heir-apparent of the HP 41.  The HP 48
combines the flexibility and customizability of the HP 41 with the
revolutionary computational capabilities of the HP 28S.  This book
describes the logical evolution from the HP 41 to the HP 48 and shows
that HP 48 actions are natural extensions and enhancements of familar
HP 41 operations.  The book also shows how your HP 41 procedures and
methods can be adapted to the HP 48, including stack manipulations,
storing and retrieving data, programming, and program conversions.
Soft cover, 149 pages, spiral bound.

* Larken Publications: HP 48 Insights, Part I:  Principles and
  Programming

This is the first part of a two-volume work by Dr. William Wickes on the
operation and programming of the HP 48 family.  The first half concentrates
on the underlying principles of HP 48 operation.  Attention is given to
understanding RPN, objects and execution, the HP 48 stack, storing
objects, operational methods, customization, and problem solving.  The
remainder of the book focuses on tools and techniques of programming.
Programming chapters cover programming basics, display operation and
graphics, arrays and lists, and program development.  All concepts are
illustrated with over 100 practical example programs.  Spiral bound, 381
pages.

* Larken Publications: HP 48 Insights, Part II:  Problem Solving
  Resources

The second of a 2-volume work on the operation and programming of the
HP 48.  This volume focuses on six application areas built into the
HP 48: the HP Solve application, plotting, symbolic algebra, time
management, statistics, and unit management.  There are discussions of
design motivations, "how-to" descriptions and examples for interactive
operation, and methods for extending the built-in functionality for
custom applications.  More than 60 programs are included.  Part I is not
a prerequisite for Part II, but is a recommended preliminary, since many
of its principles and methods are applied in Part II.  Together, the two
volumes constitute the most comprehensive and effective exposition
available for the principles and methods of the HP 48.  Soft cover, 328
pages, spiral bound.
