    Extractions: Gunter; Mannheim; Delamain Achievement invented the slide rule Biography Oughtred's passion for mathematics was so great that he maintained a free school for young men interested in the science. A contemporary of Oughtred's, Edmund Gunter, devised a logarithmic rule in 1620, which could be used to multiply and divide using a pair of calipers. Oughtred was the first to see that a simpler and more sophisticated method of multiplication and division could be achieved by placing two logarithmic rules side by side and using the position of the numbers relative to each other to calculate the desired results. Oughtred's most important work, Clavis Mathematicae (1631), included a description of Hindu-Arabic notation and decimal fractions and a considerable section on algebra. He experimented with many new symbols including for multiplication and :: for proportion. Like all Oughtred's works it was very condensed containing only 88 pages. He also developed the circular slide rule, which operated in the same fashion as a linear slide rule, except that it makes use of an inner and an outer ring Oughtred published his renowned work Circles of Proportion and the Horizontal Instrument in 1632.

    Extractions: OUGHTRED, WILLIAM (fl. 1575-1660), English mathematician, was born at Eton, and educated there and at King's College, Cambridge, of which he became fellow. Being admitted to holy orders, he left the university about 1603, and was presented to the rectory of Aldbury, near Guildford in Surrey; and about 1628 he was appointed by the earl of Arundel to instruct his son in mathematics. He corresponded with some of the most eminent scholars of his time on mathematical subjects; and his house was generally full of pupils from all quarters. It is said that he expired in a sudden transport of joy upon hearing the news of the vote at Westminster for the restoration of Charles II. He published, among other mathematical works, Clavis Mathe-matica, in 1631, in which he introduced new signs for certain mathematical operations (see ALGEBRA) ; a treatise on navigation entitled Circles of Proportion, in 1632; works on trigonometry and dialling, and his Opuscula Mathematica, published posthumously in 1676.

    Extractions: Oughtred, William William Oughtred (1574-1660) was one of the world's great mathematicians. He attended Eton School and King's College, receiving his M.A. in 1600. In 1603 he was ordained as an Episcopal minister. In the 17th century, becoming a clergyman was a common and well respected career option for a well educated man. Like many others of his day, Oughtred was likely not a formally trained mathematician, rather he was largely self-taught. He reputedly had a burning curiosity for mathematics and along with Harriot, he devised a standardized notation for algebra, some of which remains in use today. Oughtred's passion for mathematics was so great that he maintained a free school for young men interested in the science. A contemporary of Oughtred's, Edmund Gunter, devised a logarithmic rule in 1620, which could be used to multiply and divide using a pair of calipers. Oughtred was the first to see that a simpler and more sophisticated method of multiplication and division could be achieved by placing two logarithmic rules side by side and using the position of the numbers relative to each other to calculate the desired results.
