nearly 889 (it's 889.001) but this is mere coincidence. I presume it has something to do with why the original author had given 2047 instead of 2048 in the first place though. The main source error is the approximation for the logarithm of a number close to 1 (i.e. log x = x - 1). Using 889 instead of 889.435... will make the approximation worse for all numbers less than 1 and some greater than 1 but after a certain point, it will counter the effect of the log x = x - 1 approximation. That's certainly not a good reason to use 889 specifically though: you could say the same about using 1000 or 3551. The only reason to use 889 instead of 889.435... is that it's easier to remember and might be accurate enough for the users needs.

It does not make sense to put the base-10 logarithm column first. That's against the whole spirit of this concept. The reason base 10 is used is that you can get the mantissa out of the table and then use a bit of common sense to find the characteristic and hence the base 10 logarithm. If you've

I have to nominate "Numbers are placed on slide rule scales at a distance proportional to their common logarithm. By mechanically adding the distance for 1 to 2 on the lower scale to the distance from 1 to 3 on the upper scale, one can quickly determine that 2 x 3 = 6." for funniest Serious Caption

for example, it states, "Because of their utility in saving work in laborious calculations by hand on paper, tables of base-10 logarithms were found in appendices of many books." as a non-mathematician, i have no idea why base-10 logs "save work..." and therefore i can't understand the connection

was a prodigious mental calculator. Reputedly, when asked how he had been able to predict the trajectory of Ceres with such accuracy he replied, "I used logarithms." The questioner then wanted to know how he had been able to look up so many numbers from the tables so quickly. "Look them up?" Gauss

I've just changed the approximation formula which contained a mistake. Repeatedly taking the square root eleven times is equivalent to raising to the power 1/2048, not 1/2047 as given in the formula. The factor 889 is roughly 2048/log(10) (which is actually 889.4). Curiously, 2047/log(10) is very

I have a rather old book with a "Table of Mantissas" in the back and I was wondering if perhaps someone could either explain more on how to use such a table in the article, or explain how to use mine in this discussion page. Mine has a table of numbers down the side, beginning with 10 and ending

The article gives a list of variously obscure names -- I just encountered "decadic" somewhere, and wanted to check it was the obvious meaning -- but surely it is vastly more common to call it a "logarithm base 10", or "base 10 logarithm", than any form other than "common"?

Is this in any way helpful to the article? Does it have a reliable source, or just the wiki? I expect I'll remove that as well as the bit on plotting that is being thrashed around, unless someone shows a source where they can be verified and explain whey they're useful.

Has anyone else heard of the approximation at the end of the article? My dad said they used to use it back in college when calculators didn't do logarithms. It would be interesting to know how far back it dates, and how long, if ever, it was in common use.

That's not a sentence, and I don't understand the article's topic enough to fix it. I understand English grammar and syntax quite well, but I don't understand math or this article's topic well enough to correct the problems in the sentence.

The primary importance, however, is the demonstration that the identification of mantissa and characteristic is not an archaic or obsolete exercise given the modern convenience of automated computations of the logarithm function.

1.52, rounded to four digits, is 0.1818. Then suppose you want the base-10 logarithm of 1520, which is the number that results from starting with 1.52 and pushing the decimal point three places to the right. That logarithm is

1520 = 3.1818 (approximately). The "3" is how many places the decimal point was pushed; that's why using 10 as the base of logarithms is convenient when working in a base-10 numeral system. 3 is the

The use of logarithms is an elementary and standard technique used for generating scales in many graphing environments. It is a fundamental technique that is ubiquitous in the computing industry.
