Scientific
Brain
utilizes
recent
deveiopments
in
solid-staie
integrated
circuitry
to
provide
a
vast
extension
of
conventional
slide-rule
capabilities,
with
far
more
accuracy.
It is
also
more
versatile, and it is
compact
enough
to be
pocketable.
Jt
replaces
tedious
and
eye-straining
correlation
of
finely
inscribed
slide-rule
scales
with
a
simpler
lou
ching
of
buttons
on
a
keyboard.
At
the
same
time,
it
reduces
determination
of
a.
numerical
result
to the
reading
of
the
numeral
directly
from
a
lucid
display,
It
also
supplements
functions

a
conventional
log-Iog··decitrig
slide-rule
by
t€3turing
a
memory
that
eases
progress
through
complex
multiple-operation
problems.
Your
new
Brain
operates
in
the
algebraic
mode
and
can
accept
a
numerical
input
of
as
many
as
eight
digits.
It
handles
the
four
basic
algebraic
operations
(addition.
subtraction,
mUltiplication, and
division)
and
those
scientific
functions
listed
below, all
with
full
floating

First,
two
separate
registers
are
provided
for
retaining
the
numbers
you
enler
into
the
Calculator
for
an
aritt,metic

One
is
the
Display

which
is

The
other
is

ttle

fom
the

to
the

The

retalns
this

until
you

it
or
you
exchange

of
the

by
means
of
a
special

provided
for
that
purpose.
Second,
your

was
designed
for
a
minimum
of
keys
in
order
to

was
enabled
by

with
an
