Multiplication, and division? Yes. Reciprocals? Yes. Logarithms? Yes. Sines, and cosines? Yes. Tangents, and cotangents? Yes. Squares, and square roots? Yes. Cubes, and cube roots? Yes. Some slide rules even had a measuring ruler function.
Addition? Unfortunately, no. Back then, in the midtwentieth century, we had to use a mechanical adding machine for addition.
