Page 82 - Whence x + y is the logarithm of mn. q. BD 10. Prop. 2. — Tlie logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is the logarithm, of the dividend minus the logarithm of the divisor.
Page iii - ... are not as many figures in the quotient as there are ciphers annexed to the dividend. In such a case, supply the deficiency, as in the division of decimals, by prefixing a cipher or ciphers to the quotient before annexing.
Page 135 - Two solutions exist so long as both values of c are positive, and less than 180°, that is, so long as sin c is positive. Now when a differs more from 90° than b, we have (neglecting the signs for a moment), cos a > cos...
