The logarithm of the product of two or more numbers is equal to the sum of the logarithms of the numbers. For, let m and n be two numbers, and x and y their logarithms. Then, by the definition of a logarithm, m — ax, and n = a». Logarithms - Page 3by Henry Nathan Wheeler - 1882 - 43 pagesFull view - About this book
