collection of 66 rare, out-of-print books compiled together for the first time
on DVD DATA DISC covering all aspects of the SLIDE RULE & MENSURATION. Having been invented in the
17th century the slide rule has served the world of science and
engineering as the most powerful tool available for performing mathematical
computations for around 400 years. This stunning collection of vintage
literature explores the origins, history, theory, practice and principles
behind this calculating device. Also included are several works on mensuration
and the area of mathematics which deals with measurement and geometry. Some of
the books contained within this collection are extremely hard-to-find and will
provide a valuable library of reference material. Overall, an absolute must for
anyone with an interest in the history and principles of the slide rule as well
as the theory and practice of mathematical measurement. The full list of titles
included speaks for itself…. This superb compilation of
66 vintage books on DVD data disc provides literally 1,000’s of pages of great
content and fabulous photos / illustrations for the reader. All of the books
have been scanned in high quality and preserved forever in pdf format - easy to
