Page 78 - This table is added simply for convenience, as the same mantissas are to be found in the other part of the table. To find the logarithm of any number consisting of four figures. Find, in the column headed N, the first three figures of the given number. Then the mantissa of the required logarithm will be found in the horizontal line corresponding, in the vertical column which has the fourth figure of the given number at the top. If only the last four figures of the mantissa are found, the first two...
