5000 Years and Counting: The History of the Pocket Calculator

This will be an interactive event in two parts. The first part will be a talk of about 55 minutes, synopsis below. The second part will combine refreshments with a chance to view the Speaker's calculator collection and for attendees to show off their own favourite calculator(s). Everyone will be encouraged to debate topics like which company made the best calculators, in which exam/work task/domestic duty did a calculator help you the most and was Reverse Polish a godsend or the devil's work. The Speaker will be mounting a stern defence of Reverse Polish notation so come along and take sides. Bringing a calculator to the event is not compulsory but is very much encouraged.
