INTRODUCTION ihe Bowmar MX 100 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.

CONTROLS & INDICATORS - 5. 4.. ~=- NOTE: Descriptions that follow wili be beller understood jf you take a moment to learn these basic facts. First, two separate registers are provided for retaining the numbers you enler into the Calculator for an aritt,metic oper"atlon. One is the Display Register which is aiso refened to as the x Register. The other is Working Register or y Register. Any number you enter is keyed direcily into the Display IX Register) for yOU! visual review.

6. Dual purpose keys SAMPLE CALCULATIONS ADDITION Example #1: To calCUlate 16.39 + 9.83 Dual purpose keys are identified by dual labels. One label is directly on each keyface and is referred to as Character Label. The other label is directly abo\'€ each key and is the Function label. Thus, the dual labels suggest operation in either the Character Mode or the Function Mode. Do these steps b. Enter 16.39 16.39 d. Enter 9.83 9.83 I!I e. Touch D Ex.
