Napier's Bones, a system similar to an abacus which assists in the calculation of products and quotients, and also referred to as Rabdology, was first mentioned as a new invention by Napier in 1617 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Bones
John Napier (1550 - 4 April 1617) was a Scottish mathematician, physicist, astronomer, and astrologer. He is known as the inventor of logarithms, Napier's bones, and made using the decimal point popular.
The rods in John Napier's invention, known as Napier's Bones, basically contained the columns of a multiplication table. They could be used to multiply, divide, and even extract square roots. John Napier also was a pioneer in creating tables of logarithms, but the rods had nothing to do with that.
