e**(j pi) + 1 = 0
The interface focuses on history manipulation and quick access to functionality through something like pie menus. It takes advantage of pythons type system under the hood for support of integer, float, and complex operations. For integers it tracks the base used and tries to persist that through the operations.
The name (e^(j pi) + 1 = 0, or shortened ejpi) is Euler's Identity. If you do not understand the beauty of it, I recommend reading the article. Why "j"? I come from an engineering background. Yeah, it put a smile on my face when I learned Python and found out it used "j".
RPN? I've just always been a fan of its simplicity to understand, simplicity to code, uniformity in action, less mental tracking, etc. Yes, I own several HP calculators.
