 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...  Elements of Trigonometry, Plane and Spherical - Page 123by Lefébure de Fourcy (M., Louis Etienne) - 1868 - 288 pagesFull view - About this book

...numbers whatever are considered as powers of some number arbitrarily assumed, which is called a base, and the exponent of that power of the base, which is equal to any proposed number, is called the logariflvm of that number. Thus, if we consider all numbers as powers... | |
