Practical, Short, and Direct Method of Calculating the Logarithm of Any Given Number, and the Number Corresponding to Any Given Logarithm (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
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 author’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.
