"On the History of Gunter's Scale and the Slide Rule During the Seventeenth Century" by Florian Cajori is a scientific publication that was written in the early 20th century. This book explores the historical development and significance of Gunter's scale and the slide rule within the context of mathematical and scientific advancements of the 17th century. The text delves into the various innovations, controversies, and notable figures involved in the evolution of these mathematical instruments. Cajori meticulously details the contributions of key mathematicians such as Edmund Wingate, William Oughtred, and Richard Delamain, examining how they influenced the design and functionality of Gunter’s scale and the slide rule. The book covers the innovations introduced during the 17th century, including the circular slide rule, the controversies surrounding its invention, and the debates between contemporaries on the priority of these inventions. It serves as a comprehensive source for historians of mathematics, providing insights into both the practical applications of these instruments and their impact on mathematical practice and education during that era.
