I took a class on trig, and there was a table in the back. And I presumed I was supposed to use the table, even though I had a scientific calculator at the time ( maybe around 1980) I always wondered how the tables were created, before the digital computer era.

I wish I had watched this video when I was learning log tables at school. I can't understand why 644 have voted this video down. I can only think they didn't watch all of the video. Brilliant stuff and well worth watching!

As late as 1995 I was using log, trig, and other assorted tables from not a single tome, but from a voluminous set of books, each page going out to umpteen decimal places.
