  • The Demise of the Slide Rule (And the Advent of Its Successors)
    OEVP/27-12-2002 The Demise of the Slide Rule (and the advent of its successors) Every text on slide rules describes in a last paragraph, sadly, that the demise of the slide rule was caused by the advent of the electronic pocket calculator. But what happened exactly at this turning point in the history of calculating instruments, and does the slide rule "aficionado" have a real cause for sadness over these events? For an adequate treatment of such questions, it is useful to consider in more detail some aspects like the actual usage of the slide rule, the performance of calculating instruments and the evolution of electronic calculators. Usage of Slide Rules During the first half of the 20th century, both slide rules and mechanical calculators were commercially available, mass-produced and at a reasonable price. The slide rule was very portable ("palmtop" in current speak, but without the batteries), could do transcendental functions like sine and logarithms (besides the basic multiplication and division), but required a certain understanding by the user. Ordinary people did not know how to use it straight away. The owner therefore derived from his knowledge a certain status, to be shown with a quick "what-if" calculation, out of his shirt pocket. The mechanical calculator, on the other hand, was large and heavy ("desktop" format), and had addition and subtraction as basic functions. Also multiplication and division were possible, in most cases as repeated addition or subtraction, although there were models (like the Millionaire) that could execute multiplications directly. For mechanical calculators there was no real equivalent of the profession-specific slide rule (e.g.

    Digital Signal Processing: A Computer Science Perspective Jonathan Y. Stein Copyright 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Print ISBN 0-471-29546-9 Online ISBN 0-471-20059-X 16 Function Evaluation Algorithms Commercially available DSP processors are designed to efficiently implement FIR, IIR, and FFT computations, but most neglect to provide facilities for other desirable functions, such as square roots and trigonometric functions. The software libraries that come with such chips do include such functions, but one often finds these general-purpose functions to be unsuitable for the application at hand. Thus the DSP programmer is compelled to enter the field of numerical approximation of elementary functions. This field boasts a vast literature, but only relatively little of it is directly applicable to DSP applications. As a simple but important example, consider a complex mixer of the type used to shift a signal in frequency (see Section 8.5). For every sample time t, we must generate both sin@,) and cos(wt,), which is difficult using the rather limited instruction set of a DSP processor. Lack of accuracy in the calculations will cause phase instabilities in the mixed signal, while loss of precision will cause its frequency to drift. Accurate values can be quickly retrieved from lookup tables, but such tables require large amounts of memory and the values can only be stored for specific arguments. General purpose approximations tend to be inefficient to implement on DSPs and may introduce intolerable inaccuracy. In this chapter we will specifically discuss sine and cosine generation, as well as rectangular to polar conversion (needed for demodulation), and the computation of arctangent, square roots, Puthagorean addition and loga- rithms.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Based on U.S. Gov't sponsored research. Introduction -- In the days before calculators and personal computers an engineer always had a slide rule nearby. These days it is difficult to locate a slide rule outside of a museum. I don't know how many of those who have used a slide rule ever thought of it as an analog computer, but that is really what it is. As such, the slide rule can be used to teach the modern view of the relationship between nature and mathematics and about the formalization of this concept known as isomorphism, which is one of the most pervasive and important concepts in mathematics. In order to introduce the concepts that will be used, we will start with the simplest type of slide rule – one that is made up of two ordinary rulers. Using Rulers for Addition -- Two rulers can be lined up as in the figure below to show that 5 + 3 = 8.

  • Slide Rules and Log Scales
    Name: __________________________________ Lab – Slide Rules and Log Scales [EER Note: This is a much-shortened version of my lab on this topic. You won’t finish, but try to do one of each type of calculation if you can. I’m available to help.] The logarithmic slide rule was the calculation instrument that sent people to the moon and back. At a time when computers were the size of rooms and ran on tapes and punch cards, the ability to perform complex calculations with a slide rule became essential for scientists and engineers. Functions that could be done on a slide rule included multiplication, division, squaring, cubing, square roots, cube roots, (common) logarithms, and basic trigonometry functions (sine, cosine, and tangent). The performance of all these functions have all been superseded in modern practice by the scientific calculator, but as you may have noted by now, the calculator has a “black box” effect; that is, it doesn’t give you much of a feel for what an answer means or whether it is right. Slide rules, by the way they were manipulated, gave users more of an intrinsic feel for how operations were performed. The slide rule consists of nine scales of varying size and rate – some are linear, while others are logarithmic. Part 1 of 2: Calculations (done in class) In this lab, you will use the slide rule to perform some calculations. You may not use any other means of calculation! You will be given a brief explanation of how to perform a given type of calculation, and then will be asked to calculate a few problems of each type.

  • Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646 – 1716)
    Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646 – 1716) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Leibniz Leibniz occupies a prominent place in the history of mathematics and the history of philosophy. He developed the infinitesimal calculus independently of Isaac Newton, and Leibniz's mathematical notation has been widely used ever since it was published. He became one of the most prolific inventors in the field of mechanical calculators. While working on adding automatic multiplication and division to Pascal's calculator, he was the first to describe a pinwheel calculator in 1685 and invented the Leibniz wheel, used in the arithmometer, the first mass-produced mechanical calculator. He also refined the binary number system, which is at the foundation of virtually all digital computers. In philosophy, Leibniz is mostly noted for his optimism, e.g., his conclusion that our Universe is, in a restricted sense, the best possible one that God could have created. Leibniz, along with René Descartes and Baruch Spinoza, was one of the three great 17th century advocates of rationalism. The work of Leibniz anticipated modern logic and analytic philosophy, but his philosophy also looks back to the scholastic tradition, in which conclusions are produced by applying reason to first principles or prior definitions rather than to empirical evidence. Leibniz made major contributions to physics and technology, and anticipated notions that surfaced much later in biology, medicine, geology, probability theory, psychology, linguistics, and information science. He wrote works on politics, law, ethics, theology, history, philosophy, and philology. Leibniz's contributions to this vast array of subjects were scattered in various learned journals, in tens of thousands of letters, and in unpublished manuscripts.
