Excerpt from Practical, Short, and Direct Method of Calculating the Logarithm of Any Given Number, and the Number Corresponding to Any Given Logarithm
Logarithms is as powerful an agent in calculation as steam is in mechanics; with this truth before us, it is strange that few know their proper use, or how they are computed. The most profound mathematician, or the most experienced calculator, has been hitherto unable, simply and directly, to compute in any reasonable time, the logarithm of a number taken at pleasure, or the number correspond ing to a given logarithm to any required extent; for instance, if the logarithm of 36525636516 be required to fifteen places of decimals.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of logarithms, a powerful tool for mathematical calculation. The author, clearly a passionate advocate for this subject, tackles the history of logarithms, highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of mathematicians like Juste Byrge and William ONeill, who paved the way for the groundbreaking work of Napier and Briggs. The book delves into the complexities of logarithmotechny, or the science of calculating logarithms, presenting a novel, simplified method for computing logarithms directly. The author challenges conventional wisdom by demonstrating the shortcomings of existing methods and proposing a system that relies on simple arithmetic and the identification of specific number patterns. This approach enables readers to calculate logarithms with surprising ease and speed, making complex calculations more accessible. Through a series of detailed examples, the book walks the reader through the authorââ â¢s ingenious system, offering practical applications in various fields, including astronomy, physics, and engineering. Ultimately, this book revolutionizes our understanding of logarithms, making their power and elegance more accessible to a wider audience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780282055288_0
