I completely agree. I cut my teeth on a slide rule and now use a calculator.

However...Let's be honest. **Books** of tables are not necessary. A few pages of trig and log functions is enough for any high schooler and a few pages is not a “book”.

True...books of tables are not necessary...but it was fun at the time. Logs......just abhorred those calcs.

And I'm still waiting for the train to arrive that left Newark at 10:15 for Detroit and passed the Detroit to Newark train that left Detroit at 7:45. The one from Newark was going 50 MPH. The one from Detroit was traveling at 62 mph.

It looks like he stood me up.

Yes, for high school, a pocket reference should be enough.
