Logarithmotechnia, or the Making of Numbers Called Logarithms to Twenty Five Places, From a Geometrical Figure, With Speed, Ease and Certainty (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book introduces a newly discovered calculative method credited to Michael Dewy that allows a mathematician to compute logarithms using a geometrical approach. Originally invented by Baron Nepper and later refined by Henry Briggs, logarithms revolutionized mathematics when they were first introduced. Logarithms are the inverses of exponents, and enable the conversion of multiplication and division problems into simple addition and subtraction operations, greatly aiding computation and problem-solving. The book explores the history of logarithms and explains how they are derived from geometric figures such as conic sections. It also includes a series of numerical examples of how to calculate logarithms using Dewy's method, which is a simpler, more straightforward approach than previous techniques. This book provides the valuable background information needed to use logarithms in astronomy, navigation, and other complex numerical calculations.
