+\section{Introduction}
+
+Mathematicians, physicists, and engineers needed to quickly compute products long before computers conquered the world.
+
+\medskip
+
+The \textit{slide rule} is an instrument that uses the logarithm to solve this problem. Before you continue, cut out and assemble your slide rule.
+
+\medskip
+
+There are four scales on your slide rule, each labeled with a letter on the left side:
+
+\def\sliderulewidth{13}
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
+	\tscale{0}{9}{T}
+	\kscale{0}{8}{K}
+	\abscale{0}{7}{A}
+
+	\abscale{0}{5.5}{B}
+	\ciscale{0}{4.5}{CI}
+	\cdscale{0}{3.5}{C}
+
+	\cdscale{0}{2}{D}
+	\lscale{0}{1}{L}
+	\sscale{0}{0}{S}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{center}
+
+Each scale's ``generating function'' is on the right:
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item T: $\tan$
+	\item K: $x^3$
+	\item A,B: $x^2$
+	\item CI: $\frac{1}{x}$
+	\item C, D: $x$
+	\item L: $\log_{10}(x)$
+	\item S: $\sin$
+\end{itemize}
+
+Once you understand the layout of your slide rule, move on to the next page.

+\section{Multiplication}
+
+We'll use the C and D scales of your slide rule to multiply. \\
+
+Say we want to multiply $2 \times 3$. First, move the \textit{left-hand index} of the C scale over the smaller number, $2$:
+
+\def\sliderulewidth{10}
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
+	\cdscale{\cdscalefn(2)}{1}{C}
+	\cdscale{0}{0}{D}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{center}
+
+Then we'll find the second number, $3$ on the C scale, and read the D scale under it:
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
+	\cdscale{\cdscalefn(2)}{1}{C}
+	\cdscale{0}{0}{D}
+
+	\slideruleind
+		{\cdscalefn(6)}
+		{1}
+		{6}
+
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{center}
+
+Of course, our answer is 6.
+
+\problem{}
+What is $1.15 \times 2.1$? \\
+Use your slide rule.
+
+\begin{solution}
+	\begin{center}
+		\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
+			\cdscale{\cdscalefn(1.15)}{1}{C}
+			\cdscale{0}{0}{D}
+
+			\slideruleind
+				{\cdscalefn(1.15)}
+				{1}
+				{1.15}
+
+			\slideruleind
+				{\cdscalefn(1.15) + \cdscalefn(2.1)}
+				{1}
+				{2.415}
+
+		\end{tikzpicture}
+		\end{center}
+\end{solution}
+
+\vfill
+
+Note that your answer isn't exact. $1.15 \times 2.1 = 2.415$, but an answer accurate within two decimal places is close enough for most practical applications. \\
+
+\pagebreak
+
+Look at your C and D scales again. They contain every number between 1 and 10, but no more than that.
+What should we do if we want to calculate $32 \times 210$? \\
+
+\problem{}
+Using your slide rule, calculate $32 \times 210$. \\
+%\hint{$32 = 3.2 \times 10^1$}
+
+\begin{solution}
+	\begin{center}
+	\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
+		\cdscale{\cdscalefn(2.1)}{1}{C}
+		\cdscale{0}{0}{D}
+
+		\slideruleind
+			{\cdscalefn(2.1)}
+			{1}
+			{2.1}
+
+		\slideruleind
+			{\cdscalefn(2.1) + \cdscalefn(3.2)}
+			{1}
+			{6.72}
+
+	\end{tikzpicture}
+	\end{center}
+
+		Placing the decimal point correctly is your job. \\
+		$10^1 \times 10^2 = 10^3$, so our final answer is $6.72 \times 10^3 = 672$.
+\end{solution}
+
+\vfill
+
+%This method of writing numbers is called \textit{scientific notation}. In the form $a \times 10^b$, $a$ is called the \textit{mantissa}, and $b$, the \textit{exponent}. \\
+
+%You may also see expressions like $4.3\text{e}2$. This is equivalent to $4.3 \times 10^2$, but is more compact.
+
+
+\problem{}
+Compute the following:
+\begin{enumerate}
+	\item $1.44 \times 52$
+	\item $0.38 \times 1.24$
+	\item $\pi \times 2.35$
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\begin{solution}
+	\begin{enumerate}
+		\item $1.44 \times 52 = 74.88$
+		\item $0.38 \times 1.24 = 0.4712$
+		\item $\pi \times 2.35 = 7.382$
+	\end{enumerate}
+\end{solution}
+
+\vfill
+\pagebreak
+
+\problem{}<provemult>
+Note that the numbers on your C and D scales are logarithmically spaced.
+
+\def\sliderulewidth{13}
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
+	\cdscale{0}{1}{C}
+	\cdscale{0}{0}{D}
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{center}
+
+Why does our multiplication procedure work? \\
+%\hint{See \ref{logids}}
+
+\vfill
+\pagebreak
+
+Now we want to compute $7.2 \times 5.5$:
+
+\def\sliderulewidth{10}
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.8]
+	\cdscale{\cdscalefn(5.5)}{1}{C}
+	\cdscale{0}{0}{D}
+
+	\slideruleind
+		{\cdscalefn(5.5)}
+		{1}
+		{5.5}
+
+	\slideruleind
+		{\cdscalefn(5.5) + \cdscalefn(7.2)}
+		{1}
+		{???}
+
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{center}
+
+No matter what order we go in, the answer ends up off the scale. There must be another way. \\
+
+\medskip
+
+Look at the far right of your C scale. There's an arrow pointing to the $10$ tick, labeled \textit{right-hand index}. Move it over the \textit{larger} number, $7.2$:
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
+	\cdscale{\cdscalefn(7.2) - \cdscalefn(10)}{1}{C}
+	\cdscale{0}{0}{D}
+
+	\slideruleind
+		{\cdscalefn(7.2)}
+		{1}
+		{7.2}
+
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{center}
+
+Now find the smaller number, $5.5$, on the C scale, and read the D scale under it:
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
+	\cdscale{\cdscalefn(7.2) - \cdscalefn(10)}{1}{C}
+	\cdscale{0}{0}{D}
+
+
+	\slideruleind
+		{\cdscalefn(7.2)}
+		{1}
+		{7.2}
+
+	\slideruleind
+		{\cdscalefn(3.96)}
+		{1}
+		{3.96}
+
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{center}
+
+Our answer should be about $7 \times 5 = 35$, so let's move the decimal point: $5.5 \times 7.2 = 39.6$. We can do this by hand to verify our answer. \\
+
+\medskip
+
+\problem{}
+Why does this work? \par
+\hint{Add a second $D$ scale.}
+
+\begin{solution}
+	Consider the following picture, where I've put two D scales next to each other:
+
+	\begin{center}
+	\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.7]
+		\cdscale{\cdscalefn(7.2) - \cdscalefn(10)}{1}{C}
+		\cdscale{0}{0}{}
+		\cdscale{-10}{0}{}
+
+		\draw[
+			draw=black,
+		]
+			(0, 0)
+			--
+			(0, -0.3)
+			node [below] {D};
+
+		\draw[
+			draw=black,
+		]
+			(-10, 0)
+			--
+			(-10, -0.3)
+			node [below] {D};
+
+		\slideruleind
+			{-10 + \cdscalefn(7.2)}
+			{1}
+			{7.2}
+
+		\slideruleind
+			{\cdscalefn(7.2)}
+			{1}
+			{7.2}
+
+		\slideruleind
+			{\cdscalefn(3.96)}
+			{1}
+			{3.96}
+
+	\end{tikzpicture}
+	\end{center}
+
+	\medskip
+
+	The second D scale has been moved to the right by $(\log{10})$, so every value on it is $(\log{10})$ smaller than it should be.
+
+	\medskip
+
+	\medskip
+	In other words, the answer we get from reverse multiplication is the following: $\log{a} + \log{b} - \log{10}$. \\
+	This reduces to $\log{(\frac{a \times b}{10})}$, which explains the misplaced decimal point in $7.2 \times 5.5$.
+\end{solution}
+
+\vfill
+\pagebreak
+
+\problem{}

+\begin{enumerate}

+	\item $15 \times 35$

+	\item $6.5^2$

+		\item $15 \times 35 = 525$
