NAME
Math::SlideRule::PickettPocket - N 3P-ES pocket slide rule
SYNOPSIS
Approximate a N 3P-ES pocket slide rule.
use Math::SlideRule::PickettPocket;
my $sr = Math::SlideRule::PickettPocket->new();
$sr->divide(75, 92);
$sr->multiply(-1.1, 2.2, -3.3, 4.4);
... (and etc. see Math::SlideRule)
DESCRIPTION
A Pickett Model N 3P-ES pocket slide rule implementation, primarily in the custom round() method that approximates with sprintf()
what a human can do, in particular higher resolutions for lower numbers. Only "halfway between" the tick marks is supported; a human might do better with making 9.99 line up a skosh off the 10 tick.
Otherwise, consult Math::SlideRule for the available attributes and methods and so forth.

No known issues. Probably lots. (But hardly anything is implemented, so that's probably a big issue.)
