From the University of Newcastle upon Tyne spin-off Northern Digital comes a microprocessor whose maker claims to be the first to operate directly on numbers that are held in a logarithmic ...

(1) THIS is a clearly printed table of logarithms and antilogarithms to five places with a four figure argument and mean differences. A seven place table of (l+r/100) n for n = 1 to 9 and r = 0.00 to ...

LOGARITHMS, as anyone forced to use them at school will recall, can speed up the process of mathematical calculation dramatically. By representing numbers as logarithms (with the help of a slide-rule, ...

From a university spin-off company in the North of England comes a microprocessor that is claimed to be the first to operate directly on numbers that it holds in a logarithmic representation. The ...

A logarithm is a mathematical operation that determines how many times a certain number, called the base, is multiplied by itself to reach another number. Because logarithms relate geometric ...

Log tables, invaluable in science, industry and commerce for 350 years, have been consigned to the scrap heap. But logarithms remain at the core of science, as a wide range of physical phenomena ...

THIS is a well-arranged and clearly printed book of forty-three octavo pages. Besides four figure logarithms of numbers and of circular functions, and the circular functions themselves, it contains a ...

There was a time not so long ago when calculators weren’t standard equipment for computations. The log() button did not exist, and some math had to be done by hand. John Napier and his logarithm ...
