Abstract :
AS IT commonly is used, the slide rule serves as a set of tables and as a multiplying device. As the latter it also is used in performing the inverse operation division. By combining the 2 functions one may perform such operations as division by a sine, or multiplication by the square of a tangent. For many users the technique of slide rule operation goes no farther than such simple combinations.
