Look what I found! Four-Figure Tables including those dastardly four-figure logarithms from Messrs Godfrey and Siddons. I shuddered and then smiled.

Do you remember using these log tables?

I cannot remember my Maths teacher’s name at Oxford Grammar School. The memories are flooding back…differential calculus at Shene County Grammar.

Somewhat surprisingly, to me anyway, I went on to use differential calculus professionally. It was a good that I had kept half an ear open during maths classes.

The next thing I’ll find is that ruddy physics textbook. It was the heaviest of the lot; we had to do PE to get fit enough to carry it.

Update: 23 September 2024

Yup, I found it! Ordinary Level Physics by A. F. Abbott.
