Abstract
The Hewlett Packard HP 48G graphing calculator is able to manipulate units as well as perform numerical and symbolic calculations. The HP 48G's units function can make simple calculations, such as converting grams to moles, or more complex unit analysis, such as gas law calculations. Examples and calculator keystrokes for both of these examples are included in this article.
