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....

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 recognise 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. But this involves a blind reliance upon rules without an appreciation of their origin or limitations, and this, in turn, engenders a want of confidence in the results of any but the simplest operations, and prevents the fullest use being made of the instrument. For this reason a brief, but probably sufficient r&wm4 of the principles of logarithmic calculation will be given. Those desiring a more detailed explanation are referred to the writer's "Logarithms for Beginners." . The slide rule enables various arithmetical, algebraical and trigonometrical processes to be performed with ease and rapidity, and with sufficient accuracy for most practical purposes. A grasp of the simple fundamental principles which underlie its operation, together with a little patient practice, are all that are necessary to acquire facility in using the instrument, and few who have become proficient in this system of calculating would willingly revert to the laborious arithmetical processes.
