William Oughtred: A Great Seventeenth-Century Teacher of Mathematics is a book written by Florian Cajori and published in 1916. The book is a biography of William Oughtred, a prominent mathematician and teacher of the seventeenth century. Oughtred is best known for his invention of the slide rule, an instrument used for performing mathematical calculations. The book provides a detailed account of Oughtred's life, including his early education, his time at Cambridge University, and his career as a teacher of mathematics. Cajori describes Oughtred's teaching methods and the impact he had on his students, many of whom went on to become notable mathematicians themselves. In addition to his work on the slide rule, Oughtred made significant contributions to the field of trigonometry and was also known for his interest in astronomy. The book explores Oughtred's mathematical achievements and his legacy in the field of mathematics. Overall, William Oughtred: A Great Seventeenth-Century Teacher of Mathematics provides a comprehensive and engaging look at the life and work of one of the most influential mathematicians of the seventeenth century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
