The HP-35 scientific calculator, introduced in 1972, was awarded an IEEE milestone for being the world's first handheld scientific calculator. It could perform transcendental math functions and used Reverse Polish Notation, making it more efficient than slide rules. Over 300,000 units were sold in the first three years. It has been used for high-altitude calculations, ship navigation, and astronaut calculations in space.
