5.0 out of 5 stars Computer Science Calculator, September 2, 2009

HP-16C on Ebay......$200+. The Sharp EL-W535.....less than $15.

I have long sought after a decent calculator for use in computer science and networking and I THINK I found it - the Sharp EL-W535. It has HEX/BIN/OCT keys (they are 2nd functions unlike the HP-16C) but at least they are not buried in a menu somewhere. You can simply put it over into one of those number systems and do all calculations there -or- convert back and forth between systems.

Also supports NOT/AND/OR/XOR/XNOR. Certainly doesn't do everything the HP-16C does but for the money its a steal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Similarities to the EL-W516, December 6, 2010

This is a simplified version of the EL-W516.

It doesn't have a constant library or unit conversions, doesn't do matrices or complex numbers, doesn't have an equation solver, a polynomial root finder, or normal distributions functions.

Overall, Sharp says the 535 has 335 functions compared to 556 in the 516.

However, because of the reduced functionality, the keyboard layout is slightly simpler (Pi is an unshifted function for example).

You can compare the two on Sharps website at sharpusa

Both are great, just slightly different in their focus.

I bought ten of these calculators as part of a class that I was teaching to engineers and scientists. The class was numerical methods and test planning. I received a lot of great feedback on the calculators and no one could believe the price paid was under $15. These calculators are very easy to use and the instructions are very good. Highly recommended.
