There are few things more pleasing to your average mathematician than when a result surprises you. Take e, for example – a transcendentally irrational number equal to a little more than 2.7 – and ...

Mathematicians use the logarithm to express the inverse function of exponentiation. That is, the logarithm of a given number p is the exponent to which another fixed number, the base b, must be raised ...

In today’s highly digital world, calculators are a constant presence in our lives. They make complex calculations easier and faster, especially when it comes to logarithms. However, there might be ...

ABSTRACT: This paper systematically studies the properties of multiplication tables through three fundamental operations: ΣT , ΔT , ΠT . We show how these operations reveal deep arithmetic structures, ...

THIS is an ingenious work, and would have suited the “fantastical” Armado (“I am ill at reckoning; it fitteth the spirit of a tapster”). By the aid of 1759 figures only the user of it is able to ...

Napier’s Bones is a manual calculating device using strips of ivory or other types of material that are divided into sections. The sections are marked with numbers or digits and are used primarily for ...

Logarithmic tables, also known as log tables, are mathematical tools that help in solving complex arithmetic problems. These tables were widely used before the advent of electronic calculators and ...
