Hello Mike,
The slide rules that I loaned from the ISRM were a huge hit with our
students.
We organized two separate workshops, and both were well attended. I
also
used the slide rules in my introductory calculus class to introduce
logarithms.
Thank you so much for the loan.
I sent the slide rules back to you yesterday. You should recieve them
in a few
days. Hopefully you won't have to pay taxes or brokerage fees to get
them.
In the package I sent you, there are 38 slide rules. You sent me 40,
and I
gave one to Nicolas Perrault (the student who told me about the loaner
program). He was very happy to get it and sends his thanks. During
this
year, he also decided to major in mathematics in university.
Have a good summer!
