The slide rule, also known as a slipstick, is a mechanical analog computer. The slide rule is used primarily for multiplication and division, and also for "scientific" functions such as roots, logarithms and trigonometry, but does not generally perform addition or subtraction. William Oughtred and others developed the slide rule in the 1600s

What replaced the slide rule?
Slide rules were replaced by pocket calculators. This happened very suddenly as soon as the price of the calculator became comparable with the slide rule. The market for the slide rule dried up almost completely, in much of the world, in less than a year. Some specialty slide rules have survived, however.
