When it comes to nerd street cred, having a slide rule is not enough. You need to know how to use it!

Hence, Pocket Slide Rule Expert. This has the style of a classic rule, including great precision, but can also show you how to DO calculations. Learn simply by watching auto-slide-rule mode.

Select from 19 different basic operations, including:

-Multiplication and Division
-Squares, Cubes, arbitrary powers
-Logarithms, both natural and base 10
-Trigonometric and reverse trig functions

Think you cant perform precise calculations using a touch screen? Not at all! Try the newly-added "brakes" button. By holding it down, you can move the cursor and slider with extreme precision.

Are you a power user? Then check out the Snaps. With the click of a button, quickly save a slider position -- and reuse it time and time again. Multiply by the square root of 2 a lot? Make a button for it!

Speed, accuracy, and a teacher right there with you.

Latest reviews of Pocket Slide Rule Expert app for iPhone and iPad

Pocket Slide Rule Expert RULES!
This is a great app for understanding how practical calculations were done back when America went to the Moon (1969). Moving the body, cursor and slide is by touch. The Brakes button is awesome! Adjusting the rule precisely is easy with it. The slide rule has excellent clarity on iPhone 4. Overall, Pocket Slide Rule Expert is a delight for older engineers & scientists who had to work with the real thing, as well as for anyone with nostalgia. GET THIS APP!
Beautiful
Versalog rule, lots of the best scales. Works smoothly. (Just noticed that swiping at the top moves the cursor quickly, even when it is offscreen. )
Mr.
Ive always missed using a slide rule. This app brings back good memories. Its accurate, easy to use, especially with a built in help wiz. I like the looks, ths speed & also the brakes. Clear graphics, easy to read, just a VERY NICE app to have on your phone to learn how things were done "Back in the day"! Thank you very much!! A++++
