THE SLIDE RULE & HOW TO USE IT
The first thing you'll learn about the slide rule is what it does and how it works. A few practice examples will help you understand even better.
You'll learn how to use the slide rule for multiplication, division, proportion, squares and square roots. You'll also learn how to do cubes, cube roots and decimals from fractions. The lessons and examples show you how to calculate square footage, circumference, and more. Learn how to measure the volume of solids and liquids in a snap. Mechanical process like levers, machines and weights are next on the agenda. Examples and detailed explanations for these and more! From there, you'll learn how civil engineers, surveyors and contractors benefit from using the slide rule. Commercial arithemetic lends a helping hand with currency and measurement. Learn how to calculate simple and compound interest with this awesome tool. Learn to use the slide rule for scientific readings. Includes lessons in thermometric conversion, gravity, motion, water, agriculture and much more.
