What reading level is The Use of the Slide Rule book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is frequently of advantage to cube a number with the slide inverted. This setting is in reality simpler than with the slide direct and should always be used in connection with problems in which for any reason the slide is in the inverted position. To cube 2. 17, set R to 2. 17P, set 2. 17C to R, read over IB the answer 10. 2 on A. Notice that this operation consists in squaring the number in the regular way, and then multiplying the result by the number itself; using scales A and C. It is in...teresting to notice that if we set R to 2. Y1D, 2. 17B to R and read over 2. 17C on A, we have the answer on A, 10, 2.
The application of these last settings is clearly seen when we wish to raise a number to the 3/2 power. This can be performed very simply with the slide direct, but the solution with slide inverted is in many ways more satisfactory. Let us consider the first problem with the slide direct. To raise 3. 163 to the 3/2 power. Set \C to 3. 163D and read the answer on D under 3. 163B, which is 5.
