Download or read book The Slide Rule written by Charles Pickworth and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction. The slide rule may be defined as an instrument for mechanically effecting calculations by logarithms. Those familiar with logarithms and their use will recognize that the slide rule provides what is in effect a concisely arranged table of logarithms, together with a simple and convenient means for adding and subtracting any selected values. Those, however, who have no acquaintance with logarithms will find that only an elementary knowledge of the subject is necessary to enable them to make full use of the slide rule. It is true that for simple slide-rule operations, as multiplication and division, a knowledge of logarithms is unnecessary; indeed, many who have no conscious understanding of logarithms make good use of the instrument....

Book excerpt: A complete road map to creating successful technical presentations Planning a technical presentation can be tricky. Does the audience know your subject area? Will you need to translate concepts into terms they understand? What sort of visuals should you use? Will this set of bullets truly convey the information? What will your slides communicate to future users? Questions like these and countless others can overwhelm even the most savvy technical professionals. This full-color, highly visual work addresses the unique needs of technical communicators looking to break free of the bulleted slide paradigm. For those seeking to improve their presentations, the authors provide guidance on how to plan, organize, develop, and archive technical presentations. Drawing upon the latest research in cognitive science as well as years of experience teaching seasoned technical professionals, the authors cover a myriad of issues involved in the design of presentations, clearly explaining how to create slide decks that communicate critical technical information. Key features include: Innovative methods for archiving and documenting work through slides in the technical workplace Guidance on how to tailor presentations to diverse audiences, technical and nontechnical alike A plethora of color slides and visual examples illustrating various strategies and best practices Links to additional resources as well as slide examples to inspire on-the-job changes in presentation practices Slide Rules is a first-rate guide for practicing engineers, scientists, and technical specialists as well as anyone wishing to develop useful, engaging, and informative technical presentations in order to become an expert communicator.

Book excerpt: Instruction for Using a Slide Ruleby W. StanleyTranscriber's Notes]Conventional mathematical notation requires specialized fonts andtypesetting conventions. I have adopted modern computer programmingnotation using only ASCII characters. The square root of 9 is thusrendered as square_root(9) and the square of 9 is square(9).10 divided by 5 is (10/5) and 10 multiplied by 5 is (10 * 5 ).The DOC file and TXT files otherwise closely approximate the originaltext. There are two versions of the HTML files, one closely, and a second with images of the slide rulesettings for each example.By the time I finished engineering school in 1963, the slide rule was awell worn tool of my trade. I did not use an electronic calculator foranother ten years. Consider that my predecessors had little else touse--think Boulder Dam (with all its electrical, mechanical andconstruction calculations).Rather than dealing with elaborate rules for positioning the decimalpoint, I was taught to first "scale" the factors and deal with thedecimal position separately. For example:1230 * .000093 =1.23E3 * 9.3E-5 1.23E3 means multiply 1.23 by 10 to the power 3.9.3E-5 means multiply 9.3 by 0.1 to the power 5 or 10 to the power -5.The computation is thus1.23 * 9.3 * 1E3 * 1E-5The exponents are simply added.1.23 * 9.3 * 1E-2 =11.4 * 1E-2 =.114When taking roots, divide the exponent by the root.The square root of 1E6 is 1E3The cube root of 1E12 is 1E4.When taking powers, multiply the exponent by the power.The cube of 1E5 is 1E15.[End Transcriber's Notes]INSTRUCTIONSfor using aSLIDERULESAVE TIME!DO THE FOLLOWING INSTANTLY WITHOUT PAPER AND PENCILMULTIPLICATIONDIVISIONRECIPROCAL VALUESSQUARES & CUBESEXTRACTION OF SQUARE ROOTEXTRACTION OF CUBE ROOTDIAMETER OR AREA OF CIRCLEINSTRUCTIONS FOR USING A SLIDE RULEThe slide rule is a device for easily and quickly multiplying, dividingand extracting square root and cube root.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Slide Rule and How to Use It: Containing Full, Easy, and Simple Instructions to Perform All Business Calculations With Unexampled Rapidity and Accuracy The intellect remains unfettered by tedious processes, for the statement of each question, the operation and the result, are simultaneous and apparent in their connection. The laws that govern its operations are few and simple, and easily understood; and the curiosity of the uninitiated may be stimulated by learning, that on an instrument as portable as a pocket-book we have the whole gamut Of numbers; and that whether as a means for self-instruction or advancement, for unsurpassed utility in business, or for profitable amuse ment, its study is well rewarded in its capabilities for variod application. Scientific men estimate its value, the man of business would soon appreciate its assistance, and it will be well for the practical mechanic when he learns how to employ it intelligently, instead Of carrying it in his pocket, yet unable to avail himself Of its extraordinary powers.
