5 de oct. de 2014 · John Napier (1550–1617) is celebrated today as the man who invented logarithms—an enormous intellectual achievement that would soon lead to the development of their mechanical equivalent in the slide rule: the two would serve humanity as the principal means of calculation until the mid-1970s. Yet, despite Napier’s pioneering efforts, his ...

29 de may. de 2018 · John Napier. 1550-1617. Scottish Mathematician. In 1914, on the brink of World War I, the Royal Society of Edinburgh took time to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Mirifici logarithmorum canonis descriptio, in which John Napier first presented his system of logarithms.
Napier was a Scottish mathematician who lived from 1550 to 1617. He worked for more than twenty years to develop his theory and tables of what he called logarithms, a word he derived from two Greek roots: logos, meaning word, or study, or reasoning, or in Napier’s use, “reckoning”, and arithmos, meaning “number”.
