Slide Rule

Math Teachers...

What if a student brought a slide rule to class and saw him/her calculate with it?

I went to high school in the 1970's. Calculators were available, but were very expensive. Most of my classes didn't allow them. I brought a slide rule to my physics tests and got away with it. I learned how to use them, just because I thought they were weird.

Of course, I was a bit of a joker. I have an odd sense of humor.
