Defs.--The \u003ci\u003elogarithm\u003c\/i\u003e of any proposed number is the \u003ci\u003eexponent of the power\u003c\/i\u003e to which some fixed number must be raised in order to equal the proposed number. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA system of logarithms is, therefore, a \u003ci\u003esystem\u003c\/i\u003e of \u003ci\u003epowers\u003c\/i\u003e of some fixed number. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003ci\u003efixed number\u003c\/i\u003e is the \u003ci\u003ebase\u003c\/i\u003e of the system. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe system of logarithms which is used in this book is Brigg's System, or the \u003ci\u003ecommon\u003c\/i\u003e system of logarithms, and has 10 for its base. Thus: 10\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e=100, 2 is the logarithm of 100 to the base 10. Or, 2=log.100, to the base 10 being understood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e2. \u003ci\u003eThe logarithm of 1 is 0.\u003c\/i\u003e For--1=10\/10=10\u003csup\u003e1-1\u003c\/sup\u003e=10\u003csup\u003e0\u003c\/sup\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e3. The logarithm of 10, or the logarithm of the base is 1. For--10\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e=10. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eApplying fractional exponents to the first member of this equation, and extracting the square root of the second member, we have. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWindham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49925387944209,"sku":"GOR013815107","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041293205777,"sku":"NIN9781628452624","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1628452625.jpg?v=1750720624"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-eugene-l-richards.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
