SO YOU WANT TO BUY A CALCULATOR
Daniel T. Dolan

Prices have decreased dramatically in the face of widespread inflation, and continued lower cost coupled with increased sophistication is predicted. It is now possible to find a simple calculator at the same or lower cost than that of a mathematics textbook.
