In this book, Professor Asimov, noted scientist, teacher, and author, introduces the reader to the delights of the slide rule. ?A slide rule,? he says, ?doesn?t seem as impressive as a giant electronic computer, but it has many advantages. It is small enough to bit in your pocket, it need not cost more than a ouple dollars, it can?t go out of order, and, best of all, it can solve almost any numerical problems that you meet up with under ordinary circumstances. To add to all that, it is simple to operate. If you know grade-school arithmetic, you can use a slide rule, even though you may not quite see how it works!? Box 13.
