Page 137 - The logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithms of its factors.
Page 137 - The characteristic of a number less than 1 is found by subtracting from 9 the number of ciphers between the decimal point and the first significant digit, and writing — 10 after the result. Thus, the characteristic of log...

Page 87 - 1 — cos a 1 + cos a 1 + cos a * 1 + cos a sin a 16. If a numerical value of any function of a is given, all the other functions of a and of a/2 can be found geometrically from Ex. 14. Thus, if sin a = 4/5 is given, lay off OP = 5, BP = 4 ; then 07? = V52 — 4* = 3. Hence, 073 = 8, AB=2; and CP = v
Page xvii - ... duplicates of the preceding fiveplace tables, reduced to four places, and with larger intervals between the tabulations. The value of such four-place tables consists in the greater speed with which they can be used, in case the degree of accuracy they afford is sufficient for the purpose in hand.
