Good question ilyazhito. You're probably one of the few non-science, non-math, non-old timers, who knows that a slide rule doesn't allow for addition and subtraction calculations.

Something tells me that Ilya does not fall in the category of "non-math, non-science". Don't know why you're proffering that assumption.

There was no "or", but the addition of an "and" could have avoided Raymond's confusion.

You're correct. I'm studying accounting. Anyway, enough of the digression to slide rules.

But it does add and subtract logarithms, that's how slide rules multiply and divide.



Fun's over. BillyMac out.
