Abstract

Suddenly, in less than two years, a new high‐technology consumer product has swept world markets—the electronic pocket calculator. Such machines range from the relatively simple type that will add, subtract, multiply and divide up to six numerical digits, to the highly sophisticated ‘electronic slide‐rule’, with its instant calculation of square roots, logarithms, trig functions and other scientific esoterica.
