Re: Mathematical Tools Collection Message #16 Posted by Chuck on 27 Dec 2006, 12:56 a.m., in response to message #15 by Palmer O. Hanson, Jr.
A planimeter is coming up next, I think. Neat little machine that we'll look at in my 4th quarter calc class this year, when looking at Green's theorem. As far as the TI's go, I have about 7 or 8, but for some reason they just don't feel right in putting in yet; too new or something. But, they are the most common calculator in schools. However, I have several students purchasing the HP50g this quarter. :) If I get too many math toys I won't have $$ for the other collections (tube radios, musical instruments, cameras, typewriters, etc). Gotta draw the line somewhere.
