Resumo: |
The present research covers the works of William Oughtred (1574-1660), a British cleric and instructor of mathematics, to whom is attributed the project of the first slide linear log rule in Europe in the seventeenth century when drawing up tables and astronomical calendars, used to guide sailing for example, demanded means for the calculation of numbers, very small or very large, to be carried out quickly. The creation and use of logarithmic rules for calculating will be studied here by the analysis of texts written by William Oughtred: The Circles of Proportion and The Horizontal Instrument (1633), New Line or Artificial Gauging Rod (1633) and The description and Use of the Double Horizontal Dial (1653). Other works of this scholar were examined to show their contribution to the teaching of Mathematics, as the texts Clavis Mathematicae, which was used by more than 70 years, and Mathematical Recreations translated into English and combined by him with other texts, such as: The description and Use of the Double Horizontal Dial and Horological Ring published as appendages of Mathematical Recreations in 1653 |
