PERHAPS the best way of treating this work, which does not contain a single word of explanation, will be to give a summary of the tables contained in it. First we have proportional parts of all ...

A logarithm is the power which a certain number is raised to get another number. Before calculators and various types of complex computers were invented it was difficult for scientists and ...

Logarithms are a common idea today, even though we don’t use them as often as we used to. After all, one of the major uses of logarithms is to simplify computations, and computers do that just fine ...

Given \(f(x) = 3x + 2\), we are often asked to find \(f(2)\) or \(f( - 3)\). To do this we substitute \(2\) or \(- 3\) for \(x\). So, \(f(2) = 3(2) + 2 = 8\) and \(f ...
