CONSTRUCTION OF LOG TABLE

                                         CONSTRUCTION OF LOG TABLE

Construction of Log table took 20 years to complete. Though Napier use e as base in his log table. In a meeting of 1615, Napier suggested Briggs to construct a log table with base 10 and log1 = 0. Napier's book Mirifici ipsius canonis constructio describes in details about log table but Briggs, a professor at Gresham college London in his book Arithmetica Logarithmica published in 1624 gave the logarithmic value of all numbers from 1 to 1000 correct up to 14 decimal places.

Please enjoy how you can construct log table through the slides I shared today while delivering a talk in a program organised by AIRMC (JK).
