For all those engineers who dabble in music [Magnetovore] has your back. Musicians simply must know their scales and he came up with a papercraft slide rule for major and minor scales. The system ...
I HAVE read with great interest the abstract of the paper on the invention of the slide rule, by Prof ... by sliding the edges of logarithmic scales together than by using compasses—the method ...
The result is a set of algorithms that automatically generates most of the scales that were common on slide rules back in the day. For example: K Cubic scale, x^3 A,B Squared scale, x^2 C ...
Slide rules are analog computing devices marked with linear or logarithmic scales, some on a moving slide and some stationary on the base of the instrument, so that two numbers may be added or ...
