Page 244 - Briggs' logarithm of the number N ; so that the common logarithm of any number 10" or N is n, the index of that power of 10 which is equal to the said number. Thus, 100, being the second power of 10, will have 2 for its logarithm ; and 1000, being the third power of 10, will have 3 for its logarithm. Hence, also, if 50 = 101-00*7, then is 1.69897 the common logarithm of 50.
Page 168 - Divide the difference of the extremes by the number of terms, less 1, and the quotient will be the common difference.
