This book provides a comprehensive exploration of logarithmic functions, their properties and uses. Logarithms were an invention of the 16th century Scottish mathematician John Napier, and were developed further by the 17th century English mathematician Henry Briggs. The book gives a systematic account of the historical development of logarithms, looking at the work of Napier and Briggs. The author presents a thorough investigation of the properties of logarithms of real numbers and examines their use in simplifying complex arithmetic operations such as multiplication and division. Logarithms were essential to the development of calculus and have applications in many branches of mathematics and science, including astronomy, physics and economics. The book concludes with a discussion of the continued significance of logarithmic functions in the digital age.
