Slide Rule Part 1 - Intro

I posted a series of about 10 videos on using sliderules. There's a playlist on my homepage. Unfortunately the volume is a little bit low but they're still usable. One day I'll redo these videos and I'm also putting together a Maple file for a series of videos on Laplace Transforms.

I bought most of mine off of ebay. There was a nice Pickett 803es that just need a new screw and some adjusting and cleaning that I bought for under ten dollars and that's the one I usually use. The most I've spent was on my Faber Castell 283N which I bought for $170.

Really that much? That's more expensive than most graphic calculators these days ;P

Use a giant classroom slide ruler like in the one in the You Tube video, "How to maintain classroom discipline"
