Build a slide rule from two pieces of folded paper and a plastic hairline. See how moving the rulers and hairline relative to each other add and subtract exponential distances which multiply and divide real numbers. Develop a concrete understanding of logarithms, learn scientific notation, compare orders of magnitude, create log graphs and more. This book is produced in partnership with NASA to inform students about the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope (formerly called GLAST), launched in June 2008.
