When you are really good you can do square roots on a four-function
calculator!

My physics class in high school was the last year they used slide rules (did
not allow calculators). One thing that I learned, that I still do to this
day, is to try and have an idea of at least the magnitude of the answer in
my head. You had to keep track of the decimal place when using a slide rule.

LOL,  I remember that happening in my classes also.  I can remember being
nervous and having difficulty keying numbers.  The good ol' days.

Remember those exams where all was quiet, then there was a "Oh s&%$#, my
battery died"? We used to come early to get next to the wall socket!

I was in the generation that changed from slider rule to HP-35.  That was a
huge change in the engineering school.  The tests were redesigned to account
for the time savings when using calculators.   Very good memories.  That was
early 70's.

Only smart people use slider rule.

Art does not own a computer.   He uses a slider rule.
