Page 5 - The logarithm of any power of a number is equal to the logarithm of the number multiplied by the exponent of the power.
Page 62 - The sine of the difference of any two arcs or angles is equal to the sine of the first into the cosine of the second, minus the cosine of the first into the sine of the second.

Page 4 - In this system the logarithm of a number is the power to which 10 must be raised to equal the number.
Page 5 - I. The logarithm of the product of two numbers is equal to the sum of the logarithms of the factors.
Page 3 - When the divisor contains one or more decimal places, move the decimal point in both dividend and divisor as many places to the right as there are decimal places in the divisor. Divide and point off as in the division of a decimal by a whole number.
