4 FIGURE TABLE

      One of the things i really appreciate about going to QC was learning to use the 4 figure table. I think in this age and decade the sound of  figure table sounds archaic but it is one experience my children may not have because calculators and all these modern electronic devices have been made and that is enough to discourage them from learning how to use it. I remember the mundane task of having to look for logarithms in between the lines and how i groaned about having to look for the logaritthms in between the lines and how i groaned about not being allowed to use a calculator which was supposedly faster. It was not until one of my college professors asked the class who had seen or used a 4figure table. I grinned. Special thanks to Ms Abdul Gaffar and Mrs Olagunju, we didn't hear the last of that table.
