The Olaf Chedzoy Collection of Ready Reckoners and Mathematical Books. A collection of over 260 items, dating from 1757 to 1971, including ready reckoners, tables, logarithms, works on algebra, arithmetic, commercial arithmetic, calculus, and geometry; school books and other works for children, as well, works and tables connected with agriculture, commerce, engineering, trades and industry. The collection emphasises the social side of mathematics and how it was used by people in different walks of life. One theme which recurs is the proposal to use the decimal system for coinage and measurement. The genesis of this collection was the realisation that with the ubiquity of pocket calculators there would little need for printed ready reckoners, and they would cease to be produced in any significant numbers Olaf Chedzoy is a distinguished statistician who was a lecturer at Bath University. In 1952, he started his career at Ferranti, becoming one of the original programmers of the Ferranti 'Mark I', arguably the first general purpose electronic digital computer. Alan Turing who was in the Mathematics Department at Manchester University contributed to the software of the 'Mark 1' computers. The books include: ANON. The Hay & Cattle Measurer. Glasgow, 1860.
