42. Eric's Types Of Slide Rules And Their Scales One of the influential figures in slide rule design, Amédée mannheim, created astandard slide rule with 4 scales labelled A, B, C, D, in that order (the http://www.sliderule.ca/scales.htm

Types of Slide Rules and their Scales All slide rules consist of logarithmic scales that can be moved in relation to each other in order to do basic mathematical calculations. The simplest slide rule would have two log scales that you could use to do multiplication and division (see my Slide Rule Introduction page for more info). One of the influential figures in slide rule design, Amédée Mannheim, created a standard slide rule with 4 scales labelled A, B, C, D, in that order (the C/D scales are the standard length log scales). These labels are hardly very descriptive, but they caught on and were perpetuated right up until the end of slide rule production. As time went by, increasingly specialized scales were added to the rules, increasing the complexity and capabilities of the device. Unlike the basic standard scales, these typically were assigned labels that reflected their function, albeit in a limited way (e.g. K for cubic scales, since C was already taken). Toward the end of slide rule production, many makers began including additional "self-documenting" features at one end of the scales, illustrating the mathematical relationship of each scale to the basic C/D scales. Clearly, this was a great relief for beginners, as deciphering the purpose of the obscure scale labels can be quite a challenge in learning to use the rule. On this page, I've provided a compendium of the various known scale labels along with categories of rules where they are commonly found. An alphabetical list is provided below for quick and easy reference. Along with a brief description, I've also included the "self-documenting" relationship to the standard C/D scale where appropriate.

Humboldt State University Department of Chemistry Robert A. Paselk Scientific Instrument Museum Demonstration Slide Rule N.Y. Humboldt S-T-C, c. 1927 Usage/History: Slide rules are devices used to aid in calculation, and were extremely important tools in science and engineering prior to the development of the hand calculator. Because of their importance instruction in the use of the slide rule was routinely given in Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering classes, frequently using large demonstration rules such as the one seen here. In essence a slide rule works by, 1) adding and subtracting the logarithms of numbers on adjacent sliding scales thereby enabling multiplication and division (log a*b = log a + log b, log a/b = log a - log b), and, 2) comparing various different parallel scales (in essence acting as tables of trigonometric functions, logarithms etc.). Description: Research: The basic history of the slide rule is outlined in Michael R. Williams, A History of Computing Technology , Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1985, pp. 111-118 and John P. Ellis

Slide rules HOME page COLLECTION NON-STANDARD RULES Make Tavernier Gravet, France Model None indicated Notes 1. This is an early French rule. I bought it in a brown paper bag which had: the rule, the A scale, a strip marked with centimetres, the D scale (in 5 segments), the cursor. The loose scales had shrunk, by over 1%, and I did not try to stretch them fearing further damage. The rule has a thin (2mm) centimetre strip on the top edge but a similar strip is missing from the bottom edge. Apart from that it is complete. It is now glued together and the slide and cursor move reasonably freely. For me at least, the rule has almost the same interest as a perfect rule of the same period. 2. An unusual feature of this rule is its all metal cursor which seems to work quite well. This was the type of cursor originally developed around 1850 by Amédée Mannheim, a French artillery officer. Rules with the arrangement of scales on this rule, one cycle logarithmic scales on the lower end of the stock and slide and the two cycle logarithmic (square) scales on the upper end, became known as Mannheim rules.

49. History A major step in the development was the invention of the sliding cursor by VictorMayer Amédée mannheim (French, 1831 1906). http://www.sliderules.clara.net/a-to-z/history.htm

Slide rules HOME page INSTRUCTIONS A-to-Z History Slide rules are based on the principle of logarithms which were developed by John Napier (British, 1550 - 1617). (Napier's Bones were an ingenious way of performing multiplication but not directly related to modern slide rules). The next major step was by Edmund Gunter (British, 1581 - 1626), who developed the concept of a rule with logarithmic values engraved. This rule was used with compasses or dividers. The true inventor of the slide rule was William Oughtred (British, 1574-1660) who was the first to use sliding scales. A major step in the development was the invention of the sliding cursor by Victor Mayer Amédée Mannheim (French, 1831 - 1906).

Herb ’n’ Lorna (A Love Story) by Eric Kraft , as Peter Leroy Chapter 2: In Which Lorna’s Uncle Luther Becomes the Father of the Coarse-Goods Trade HE CROQUET ground rules that have been kept by the Hubers fill a small book generations old, maintained and expanded by successive occupants of the narrow house and passed along with the house itself. It makes an interesting historical document. Of the following samples from this book, the entry made in 1910 is of particular interest, because it was added to the rules by Lorna, in her hand, when she was nine. No player may drive the ball of another player on a course so close to the contour of Ackerman Hill that the net effect will be the same as if the ball had been driven on a downward course. [1888] No player may drive the ball of another player into the new drainage ditch along the upward border of the front lawn, since a ball so driven is certain to roll through the new culvert and continue on an accelerating downward path. [1901] Driving the ball of a player who is injured or who does not have the full use of his fingers is not fair play. [1910] Any player who causes any ball to roll downward and be lost, whether by direct or indirect means or by accident, must pay for it or replace it. [1930]

Man searching for instruments to help him to calculate Man has always searched for tools to help him count. As economical life developed, these tools became more and more necessary. To indicate more precisely a quantity, they began to use twigs and pebbles. For each object or animal they exchanged, they threw a certain number of these pebbles or twigs together, and afterwards they counted them. So, if somebody wanted to exchange five cows for chickens, and let's suppose that each cow is worth three chickens, they threw for each cow three pebbles together, then they took for each pebble a chicken. Later they used tallysticks : long sticks in which they notched little incisions.( Each incision represented one unit ) THE PLUMMET BY THE EGYPTIANS Because the Egyptians made always big constructions, they needed a way to construct an angle of 90°.For this purpose, they made use of a plummet, because it always makes a perfect angle of 90° with the ground. ( They were also the ones that found out that the surface of an isosceles right-angled triangle can be calculated by the formule 'L B/2', discovering that they had just to split the surface of a square. Later, they realised that this formula could be used for the surface of any triangle.)

Earliest Known Uses of Some of the Words of Mathematics (S) Last revision: Aug. 21, 2005 ST. ANDREW'S CROSS is the term used by Florian Cajori for the multiplication symbol X. It appears in 1916 in his "William Oughtred, A Great Seventeenth-Century Teacher of Mathematics. St. Andrew's cross is found in 1615, although not in a mathematical context, in Crooke, Body of Man : "[They] doe mutually intersect themselues in the manner of a Saint Andrewes crosse, or this letter X" (OED2). The ST. PETERSBURG PARADOX was formulated by Niklaus Bernoulli in 1713: see problem 5 in the first letter of Correspondence of Nicholas Bernoulli concerning the St Petersburg game with Montmort, Daniel Bernoulli and Cramer (translation by Richard J. Pulskamp .) The association with St. Petersburg came about because the most prominent discussion was published there: this was Daniel Bernoulli's "Specimen Theoriae Novae de Mensara Sortis," Commentarii Academiae Scientiarum Imperialis Petropolitana, , 175-192 (1738). The paper has been translated as "Exposition of a New Theory on the Measurement of Risk," Econometrica In 1768 D'Alembert English translation by Richard J. Pulskamp

Jim Loats Named 2001 Distinguished Teacher In 1991, the MAA Board of Governors established Section Awards for Distinguished College or University Teaching to recognize excellence in mathematics teaching at the post-secondary level. The Rocky Mountain Section Award is named in honor of Burton W. Jones, a lifelong advocate of excellence in teaching and strong supporter of the MAA. In addition to being recognized with a cerrtificate and a check, award recipients are invited to deliver the opening address at the next section meeting. Criteria for the DTA award require more than effective teaching. Awardees are expected to be outstanding teachers who are widely recognized, within and beyond their own institution, for extraordinary success in teaching. Professor Jim Loats of the Metropolitan State College of Denver easily meets every measure of these criteria. Jim has compiled a long list of accomplishments that set him apart as a mathematics educator. He served as the leader of the Rocky Mountain Teacher Education Collaborative Mathematics Team for five years, and as co-PI of a number of other grants aimed at improving mathematics education in our region. He has been a member of the MAA Committee on the Mathematical Preparation of Teachers, and given numerous presentations on teaching. Jim is also the co-author of Algebra Unplugged
