Here's a question for all you guys.

Can you still use your logarithmic tables or have you become totaly depenant on your calculators?.

Not really.

Mathcad is graphically based math tool that allows one to mimic working on a notepad. Its strong suit is its ability to incorporate units and unit conversions on the fly.

Matlab is a primarily a matrix manipulation programming language. Its strong suit is a wealth of expensive toolboxes and ability to compile your algorithms into DSP targets.

For those who think that Matlab is expensive and the tool-boxes even more so, there is SciLab - which is free and very similar to Matlab.

BTW, I have started a little collection of slide rules. I find them both interesting and beautiful. I think that I shall start a thread on that subject right now.
