26 de jun. de 2024 · William Oughtred (born March 5, 1574, Eton, Buckinghamshire, England—died June 30, 1660, Albury, Surrey) was an English mathematician and Anglican minister who invented the earliest form of the slide rule, two identical linear or circular logarithmic scales held together and adjusted by hand.
11 de jun. de 2024 · William Oughtred is widely recognized as the inventor of the slide rule, a mechanical calculating device used for multiplication, division, and other mathematical computations. His creation revolutionized the field of mathematics and engineering.
Hace 6 días · William Oughtred greatly improved this in 1630 with his circular slide rule. He followed this up with the modern slide rule in 1632, essentially a combination of two Gunter rules , held together with the hands.
Hace 2 días · About 1632 an English clergyman and mathematician named William Oughtred built the first slide rule, drawing on Napier’s ideas. That first slide rule was circular, but Oughtred also built the first rectangular one in 1633.
Hace 5 días · After Napier, Edmund Gunter created the logarithmic scales (lines, or rules) upon which slide rules are based, it was William Oughtred who used two such scales sliding by one another to perform direct multiplication and division; and he is credited as the inventor of the slide rule in 1622.

Hace 5 días · William Oughtred enhanced it to create the slide rule—a pair of logarithmic scales movable with respect to each other. Numbers are placed on sliding scales at distances proportional to the differences between their logarithms.
