Seite 123 - All numbers are regarded as powers of some one number, which is called the base of the system ; and the exponent of that power of the base which is equal to a given number, is called the logarithm of that number. The base of the common system of logarithms (called, from their inventor, Briggs' logarithms) is the number 10.
Seite 124 - To find the Logarithm of any Number between 1 and 100.
