HP 12c Financial Calculator

The HP12C financial calculator builds on the legendary reputation of the original. Over 120 built-in functions make it a top choice for real estate, banking, finance and business students. The single line 10 digit display is easily readable at almost any angle.

For students, or anyone, new to financial calculators, this is an excellent place to start. The manual reads very like a mini-textbook, walking you through sample problems and situations followed by graphs and tables demonstrating the technique--and you can even check your results. The section on creating programs seems to address the more technically challenged, addressing in detail how you could possibly benefit from using programs, but it'll still help you get the job done.
