Why were logarithms invented?

Logarithms were invented by John Napier who was a mathematician. He invented other things too, so there was no reason why he couldn't invent the logarithms. Logarithms were invented so people could take short cuts to multiplications! :)

Who was it invented?

John Napier of Merchiston. A Scotsman developed logarithms. He published his work in 1614. NB Modern calculators have logarithmic tables integrated into them. However, to multiply say . 45 X 2.67. It can be done by Long Multiplication. However, using 'log tables', it becomes an addition. Hence log 123.45 = 2.09149 log 2.67 = 0.42651 Add the logs. 2.09149 + 0.42651 = 2.518 Anti log ( 2.518) = 329.60971 This compares favourably with direct multiplication at 329.6115 You can use logs for division too!!! Except that you subtract the log values. NB The is a book of Log. Tables. ; 'Castle's Four Figure Tables'. You can also change the log. bases using the formula log(a) b = log(c)b / log(c)a. , where the base is changed from 'a' to 'c' ; '10' to 'e' on a calculator.


What are in the logarithms table?

The logarithms of numbers from 1 to 10 in small steps, including rules for interpolation. There may also be logarithms of common trigonometric functions such as sine and cosine.The logarithms will often be to base 10 and natural logs (base e). The tables will also contain antilogarithms.
