Rudimentary Treatise on LogarithmsExcerpt from Rudimentary Treatise on Logarithms The following little work is intended to have a twofold object - both to explain and illustrate the use and application of logarithms for the practical calculator, and to set forth and demonstrate their nature and properties for the mathematical student. While, therefore, the theoretical and practical parts have been kept distinct, so that either might be separately studied or referred to, they have been so written with reference to each other, as to form but one connected treatise, which the student, who really wishes to become thoroughly acquainted with the, subject, should entirely peruse. For, although a knowledge of their mathematical properties is not essential to a knowledge of their use, yet they are so intimately connected, that the acquirement of one greatly facilitates the acquirement of the other.
