Hi-
I would like to purchase a slide rule for my 11 year old daughter who is a
math/science geek (meant in the most endearing terms, I assure you). I
think she would *love* learning to use one -- she currently sleeps with her
TI-89plus silver ed under her pillow. :) I thought Ebay would be a great
place to look, but it is rather confusing. Can someone give me some
suggestions of brands/types that would be appropriate? I would like
something that is used for basic math calculations -- not electrical formulas,
etc. I would like to know which material is better (plastic, wood...) and any
other suggestions! If you happen to have one for sale that fits the bill,
please feel free to contact me privately (I hope that is ok to post!). I am
willing to put up to $50 or so into a good basic rule that works well and has
a manual (preferably). I want one that will be up to use -- not just
collected. I appreciate any responses, suggestions, etc!
thank you!
Kerry
