 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
