William Oughtred Life Born 1574, died 1660. Also both a mathematician and an ordained minister. William Oughtred attended Eton School, and from there he went to King's College Cambridge, entering in 1592. Three years later he became a Fellow of King's College, received his B.A. in 1596 and his M.A. four years later. Oughtred was ordained an Episcopal minister in 1603. In 1604 he became vicar of Shalford and later, in 1610, he became rector of Albury. Oughtred was a private tutor to many, and allowed them to live in his house for free during their mathematical education. The most well known pupils of his are John Wallis, Christopher Wren and Richard Delamain. Also tutored the Earl of Arundel's son in the mid 1620's. He was described as being avidly interested in mathematics, and was known to lose several nights slepp while working on various projects. He was also an active alchemist. Accomplishments 1628 - Invention of an early form of the slide rule 1630 - Invented circular slide rule 1631 - first used x as symbol for multiplication, and :: for proportion. He experimented with many different notations for many things, but these caught on the best.

For Age: 4 years and up LeapPad by LeapFrog At Amazon on 4-15-2003. More Info This talking book comes with an interactive ''magic pen'' that works like a hand-held computer mouse pointer. Children can opt to turn the paper pages and listen to the story read with different voices for each character. Or they can interrupt the read-aloud session to play with the magic pen (permanently attached with a wire). They can point the pen tip to any word on a page and hear it pronounced, or touch a picture and hear a sound effect (such as ''Strike one!'' for the baseball bat). Very similar to the popular Living Books computer games, this 10-by-11-inch book is more portable than a home computer. Stories in this set include Lil's Loose Tooth, Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever, and Winnie the Pooh in A Sweet Good Morning. The set also includes a paper piano keyboard and map and human anatomy games. Gail Hudson Batteries: 4 AA batteries required.

The Oughtred Society dedicated to the history and collection of slide rules William Oughtred - The Inventor of the Slide Rule William Oughtred was one of the world's great mathematicians. He attended Eton School and King's College, receiving his M.A. in 1600. In 1603 he was ordained as an Anglican minister. In the 17th century, becoming a clergyman was a common and well respected career option for a well educated man. Like many others of his day, Oughtred was likely not a formally trained mathematician, rather he was largely self-taught. He reputedly had a burning curiosity for mathematics and along with Harriot, he devised a standardized notation for algebra, some of which remains in use today. Oughtred's passion for mathematics was so great that he maintained a free school for young men interested in the science. A contemporary of Oughtred's, Edmund Gunter, devised a logarithmic rule in 1620, which could be used to multiply and divide using a pair of calipers. Oughtred was the first to see that a simpler and more sophisticated method of multiplication and division could be achieved by placing two logarithmic rules side by side and using the position of the numbers relative to each other to calculate the desired results. He also developed the circular slide rule, which operated in the same fashion as a linear slide rule, except that it makes use of an inner and an outer ring Oughtred published his renowned work Circles of Proportion and the Horizontal Instrument in 1632.

WILLIAM OUGHTRED OUGHTRED, WILLIAM (fl. 1575-1660), English mathematician, was born at Eton, and educated there and at King's College, Cambridge, of which he became fellow. Being admitted to holy orders, he left the university about 1603, and was presented to the rectory of Aldbury, near Guildford in Surrey; and about 1628 he was appointed by the earl of Arundel to instruct his son in mathematics. He corresponded with some of the most eminent scholars of his time on mathematical subjects; and his house was generally full of pupils from all quarters. It is said that he expired in a sudden transport of joy upon hearing the news of the vote at Westminster for the restoration of Charles II. He published, among other mathematical works, Clavis Mathe-matica, in 1631, in which he introduced new signs for certain mathematical operations (see ALGEBRA) ; a treatise on navigation entitled Circles of Proportion, in 1632; works on trigonometry and dialling, and his Opuscula Mathematica, published posthumously in 1676.

The Oughtred Society The Oughtred Society is a group of collectors dedicated to the history and preservation of the slide rule. The society is named after William Oughtred, who is generally regarded to be the inventor of the circular slide rule in 1622 and the rectangular slide rule in 1633. Formed in 1991, The Society now has over 350 members throughout the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Membership dues are $35/year ($40 non-US). If you have an interest in Slide Rule collecting and it's history, join the Oughtred Society. The Society tries to preserve vanishing Slide Rules and provide a history for the interested collector. We also buy, sell, and trade Slide Rules at our annual convention and in several Swap Sheets published throughout the year. You can learn more about instruments like: "Palmer's Computing Scale. This is a revolving table, for solving mathematical problems, by a simple mechanical process. it consists of logarithmeric combination of numbers, arranged on two circles, one of which revolves within the other; so that, by the simple process of moving a circular card, the relation of the figures to each other is changed, so as to solve the most difficult problems. The invention must come into general use, though we have not learned where they may at present be procured."
