I have a Sharp EL-506V that allows degrees, minutes and seconds. I
convert back and forth between second and tenths of a minute in my head.
It also uses "Direct Algebraic Logic", so I can enter the formulae as
normally written. I've found that's made things a lot easier.
I keep the Hc and Z formulae -- along with a couple other commonly used
ones -- scribbled on a card taped to the back of the calculator cover.
