Instruction for Using a Slide Rule
Don Kostuch
"Instructions for Using a Slide Rule" by W. Stanley is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. This instructional manual provides a comprehensive guide on how to effectively use a slide rule, an essential computational tool for engineers and students before the advent of electronic calculators. The book elaborates on various mathematical operations and practical applications involving multiplication, division, square roots, and cube roots using this device. The book covers the anatomy of the slide rule and the methodical approach to performing calculations with it. It starts with fundamental operations, illustrating the process of multiplying and dividing numbers, and progresses to more complex tasks such as extracting roots and calculating areas and circumferences of circles. Throughout the manual, Stanley offers numerous examples for practice, reinforcing the concepts presented. By the end of the book, readers are encouraged to develop a familiarity and confidence with the slide rule, highlighting its utility in various real-world applications, from mathematics to practical engineering problems.
