JOHN NAPIER WAS A FAMOUS SCOTTISH MATHEMATICIAN WHO DISCOVERED LOGARITHMS. THE USE OF "LOGS" ENABLED HIM TO LESSEN ANY MANIPULATION PROBLEM TO A PROBLEM OF ADDITION. AFTER THE INVENTION OF ABACUS, NAPIER INVENTED THE SO CALLED "______________" IN THE YEAR 1617. THE INVENTION IS A SET OF ELEVEN RODS THAT WAS CALLED "BONES" BECAUSE IT WAS MADE OF BONE OR IVORY. EACH ELEVEN RODS OR THE "BONES" HAS A NUMBER MARKED ON THEM SO THAT BY SIMPLY PLACING THE RODS SIDE BY SIDE THE PRODUCT AND QUOTIENTS OF LARGE AMOUNT OF NUMBERS CAN BE ATTAINED.
NAPIER'S BONES
THREE YEARS AFTER THE INVENTION OF 'NAPIER'S BONES' THE "__________________________" WAS INVENTED. IT WAS INVENTED BY AN ENGLISH MATHEMATICIAN WILLIAM OUGHTRED IN THE YEAR 1620. IT INCLUDES MOVABLE RULERS POSITIONED ASPECT WITH EACH SIDE. EACH RULER IS MARKED OFF IN THIS SORT OF MANNER THAT THE REAL DISTANCES FROM THE START OF THE RULER ARE PROPORTIONAL TO THE LOGARITHMS OF THE NUMBERS.
