Balpin Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 yes all 3 words are english i was querying what those items you mentioned are Both items work on logarithms, for multiplication and even higher maths. They are complicated to use, and not many young engineers are au fait with them The operating system of a calculator works on the same basis, but obviously cannot be used by the operator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are directly connected to your maths in a fashion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love_rat Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 At the end of the day, as many experts say, going to work is not about money, it is about fulfillent, a sense of purpose. It adds meaning to your life, its not about paying your bills. I'm poor, I live in a £400,000 house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
