We didn't have computers at all at school,

neither did we....log tables and slide rule!

    Cheap (a few dollars) or expensive ( bamboo, $50 plus)? A few scales or many? In high school, I had a cheap one; in service, I used a circular slide rule.
    There was also a Chemistry and Physics Handbook published every few years with many tables in it including Integral equations. All the tables used in math was also published separately. One table contained multiples of pi to 20 decimal places. (Very useful for high school trig classes! )
