This application is a slide rule simulator. The slide rule (a.k.a. slipstick) is an mechanical analog computer which was formerly used for various scientific calculations, engineering design and surveying. It consists of three linear strips and a sliding cursor and is used for multiplication, division, square, cube, square root, cubic root, trigonometry, logarithm and so on. Please note that trigonometry and logarithm are not supported and the width of the scale is 900 pixels in this version.

simple but nice
A quite nice App.
Practical usage is a bit restricted due to the low precision, but it's perfectly useable to validate calculations and to demonstrate (or to learn) how the logarithm "works".
I like the smooth animation and the clearly readable scales.
An improvement would be if the application would remember the position of the Slide and the Cursor when it is closed.
