Since e^x, LN, and x^2 don't count, of course...
I don't really count x^2, I use square root far more often. To my mind x^2 is for programs, ENTER * is a nice and quick sequence and I rarely need to maintain the top of stack when I'm computing by hand.
Good morning world! The unshifted x^2 is present since December 2019... but we may discuss this as well.
Well, world, and Walter, if this discussion is opened again... (WWW
)
Firstly, I also find I use the EXP more often than y^x, but still want direct access to y^x with and without menu, so I choose option 2.
Secondly, there is no reason why we can't have the elliptical functions either higher up in the EXP menu duplicated to the TRI menu (as are the hyperbolic functions are also a bridge), or have them in a separate menu. To keep the EXP and TRI menus short (i.e. not scrolling) there could be a case for menu links HYP and ELLIP from within TRI and EXP, similar in the way the secondary menu P.FN2 is called from within P.FN (for different reasons though).
Then, if the poll extends to square root as it seems, I way prefer square root accessible than square. Fully in support of Pauli earlier. Also see how the Fathers in their wisdom did that in 11C, 15C, 42S, 41C, 35S, 38*, 48*, 50* ...
