With Oughtred's invention in hand, no one needed a book of logarithms or even had to know what a log was.

Around 1622 William Oughtred, an Anglican minister in England, placed two sliding wooden logarithmic scales next to each other and created the first slide rule.
1622年左右，英格蘭聖公會牧師奧特雷德（WilliamOughtred）將兩把可滑動的木制對數(shù)尺竝排放置，制作出史上首支計算尺，數(shù)年後他又制作了圓形計算尺。
For whatever reason, Oughtred failed to publish news of his invention, but one of his students, Richard Delamain, claimed in a 1630 pamphlet to have come up with the circular slide rule.

Not that Oughtred crowed about his achievements.As one who loved pure mathematics, he probably felt that his invention was not worth much.After all, mathematicians created equations;
身爲純數(shù)學愛好者，他可能不覺得自己的發(fā)明很有價值，畢竟數(shù)學家創(chuàng)造方程式，不應用方程式。
