Scientific Analysis on the Pocket Calculator
Smith
1975
We have had other calculator books from the old days. Most of them, like this one and this one seemed to be pitching the same joke of spelling some clever words aimed at the junior high school mentality. This particular example is aimed at the science/engineering crowd. From what I can tell, it is actually pretty detailed. It is aimed at those who were of the pencil and paper/slide rule crowd that did higher level mathematics. I consulted with my mathematician son and engineer husband on this book. Husband said he hadn’t thought “about this crap since grad school.” Mathematician son commented that it was kind of interesting how they broke down how to work some seriously juicy problems using the calculator.
