ARTICULO SOBRE REGLAS DE CALCULO (2025)

[gma]

Hola colegas

Robert de Cesaris , el "jefe" de la Oughtred Society ha publicado un artículo sobre la historia de las reglas de cálculo en una revista americana.

Dicha revista contiene otro interesante artículo sobre el mismo tema.

Aun hay gente interesada por este noble instrumento.

Gracias, Gonzalo.
Dieciséis páginas que denotan una capacidad de síntesis exquisita, no parece sobrar ni faltar nada (guardado en marcadores para leerlo un día con más detalle).

Nota de Cesaris sobre los artículos citados.


March 2, 2025

To our Slide Rule Research and Collecting Community,

 

IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu (the Honor Society of the IEEE [Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers]) publishes a periodical online news magazine named ‘The Bridge.’  The current issue that focuses on slide rules has just been published and is dedicated to the ‘Advancement of Technology Using Slide Rules.’  Both Mike Syphers and I were invited to contribute articles to this edition, with Mike’s article focusing on the uses of the slide rule and mine on the history of its invention, innovation, and development.

 

The magazine can be downloaded or viewed at  https://hkn.ieee.org/news-and-announcements/the-bridge

Here one has the choice to ‘download the issue’ or ‘read it online.’  Control Click on the link and choose the option ‘Read this Issue Online’ and then use the arrows at the right and left to page through the magazine.

 

Alternatively, one can use the direct link here  https://magazines.ieee.org/hkn/library/page/issue_1_2025/1/ to take you directly to the ‘Read this Issue Online’ option.

 

The two articles complement each other very well and the editors did an excellent job of putting this issue together.  Hopefully these articles will prove entertaining, interesting, and instructive or our community, both to our long-time members and as a nice welcome to our new members.

 

Kind regards,

Mike Syphers

Muy interesante; gracias, Gonzalo.

Yo también lo guardo para leer con calma, que entre el COVID (sí, al final caí…) y el Linux (portátil de 2008 que ahora va como un cohete) llevo unos días descentradillo.

Pues con estas recomendaciones habrá que leerlo...
