Toshihide Maskawa first began using this slide rule as a high-school student. At the age of 17, he used it just after the launch of the first-ever satellite, Sputnik, in 1957, to calculate the trajectories of satellites and rockets, for example. Maskawa later delved deeper into the mathematics of quantum physics. In 1973, Maskawa got his first programmable calculator, and his slide rule was allowed to retire.
Toshihide Maskawa donated the slide rule to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2008. - Pristagare
