William Ougthered invent Slide Rule in 1622!
AnswerThe slide rule was invented by William Oughtred in 1625. AnswerWe do not know the precise year. A circular slide rule was invented by William Oughtred some time about 1620, and a design of a similar slide rule by Delamain was printed in about 1630. The straight slide rule seems to have been invented later, some time around 1650.

The slide rule was invented during the period of 1620-1650 by William Oughtred, based on the earlier invention of the Gunter scale by Edmund Gunter. The original slide rule is said to have been circular, and come about 1620 or 1625. The straight slide rule is said to have been invented around 1650.

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.
