This is a wonderful introduction into what a slide rue can do and it is a great way to have one with you without the risk of it being damaged. Slide rules are not cheap today, as if the really ever were. Carrying one about can be a risk. Mine are very important to me. I do not want anything to happen to them so having one in the iPad is a significant boon. No it isn’t perfect, but then, it’s FREE!Show lessExcellent tool for teaching math!
Stop being lazy, and learn how to visualize numbers with a slide rule!Fix the slide!
I have most of the slide rule apps. This one has much to recommend it. The size makes it easy to see and enhances the accuracy. I also like the numeric readings at the hairline. It is fully customizable to match most rules out there and it seems accurate. The problem is the slide is independent of the body. I move the slide to where I want it, then move the body and the slide doesn't go with it! You have to move the cursor to keep the slide in position. It's just not natural. When the body is moved, the slide must move with it. Period. Fix that and I'll give it five stars.Show less
