For those times when you need a slide rule, but you forgot where you left it: JavaSlide, the interactive slide rule.
On this original version, the cursor and the slide may be moved with your mouse
- just click and drag. The number overlay shows the reading and identification
of the scale directly under the mouse pointer (or the hairline reading if over
the cursor). Of course, with a real slide rule you must estimate these values by
reading the scales! The scales here are accurately portrayed, so you can trust
the readings. Note that slide rules do not maintain decimal positioning - you
have to do that, too!
