And the essentials: shoe boxes and magic markers.

BTW with a slide rule you had to keep track of the decimal place. In my 
junior year I found that calculators were making me forget how to do math 
in my head so did not use one except for the finals. Too bad they do not 
seem to teach dimensional analysis any more.
