Introduction

HP 39gII was a scientific graphing calculator aimed at the high school and college/university market. A continuation of the HP38/39/40 line, the 39gII was introduced in October 2011 and is the predecessor of the HP Prime. Programs written for the HP39gII can often be run with little modification on the Prime. The HP39gII differs from the HP40 and HP Prime in that it does not have a CAS and can consequently be used in a wider range of exams.
