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
01
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
point.
1. Sine.
cosine,
and
tangent
of
degrees
or
radians
(depending
on
the
setting
of
an
external
switch).
2.
Inverse
trigonometric
functions
of
sine,
cosine,
or
tangent,
3.
Natural
and
common
logarithms
4.
Exponential
functions
(e~)
and
exponential
powers
(yX)
5.
Square
root
(v'x)
and
inverse
(Ijx)
