That's a great video, but I noticed a little mistake: iso- isn't Latin, it's Greek ;)

Though, did not understand just this one thing... from time 2:05 to 2:09 (the consolidation of points to a single line [that looked like y=x to me]. Now, my question is: why did you cover this point at all? I thought, the only thing we were interested in here was the stretching of the x and y axes... so as to stretch the f(x) = a / x curves (shown in various colors) to straight lines... to build the basis for the slide rule computation.
Would you mind explaining? Many thanks in advance.

Hey Nate, the Math Guy! You *completely* blew me over with your presentation (= explanation + animation) ! I understood the log concept but did not this aspect of it. Thank you so much!

I'm starting out in Mathematics, I'm on Arithmetic right now. Lawrence Spector is a very good teacher. I wanna learn how to use the sliderule to carry on my pocket.
