    Hewlett-Packard invented the first scientific calculator in 1968. Called the 9100A, the calculator weighed 40 pounds and cost $4,900. HP created the 9100A as a computer, but decided to market it as a "desktop calculator" because the machine did not match consumer expectations of how a computer should look.
