John Napier, Laird of Merchiston Born 1550, Merchiston Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland; Died 3 April 1617, Edinburgh, Scotland; Napier spent much of his energies solving the problem of how to do multiplication more easily - basically building devices that multiplied through addition - the " bones ", the " chessboard ", and logarithms.

document.write('Print Now!'); this page was printed from Factmonster.com www.factmonster.com/ce6/people/A0834833.html Encyclopedia Napier, John Napier, John, , Scottish mathematician. He invented logarithms and wrote Mirifici logarithmorum canonis descriptio (1614), containing the first logarithmic table and the first use of the word logarithm. His Rabdologiae (1617) gives various methods for abbreviating arithmetical calculations. One method of multiplication uses a system of numbered rods called Napier's rods, or Napier's bones; this was a major improvement on the ancient system of counters then in use. In 1619, after Napier's death, his Mirifici logarithmorum canonis constructio, which gave the method of construction of his logarithms, was published by his son Robert and edited by Henry Briggs. Napier introduced the decimal point in writing numbers. Napier was also known as an outspoken exponent of the Protestant cause. His religious writings include A Plaine Discovery of the Whole Revelation (1593), the earliest Scottish interpretation of the scriptures. Napier, Sir Charles James

Welcome to the Web Site that attempts to shed some light on the life and works of John Napier. Here you will find biographical information about the Scottish mathematician, as well as, information on his ingenious arithmetic trick called Napier’s bones . In addition, a Java simulation of Napier’s bones is also available, in order for you to experience first hand the excitement that the 16th century world felt at this great invention. This Site was designed and developed by Alexandros Diploudis, M.Sc. student at Heriot-Watt University, 1997, under the supervision of the Lecturer Dr. G. J. Michaelson , in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of the M.Sc. in Distributed and Multimedia Information Systems.

49. John Napier: "A Great Man" Writing about the middle of the eighteenth century, David Hume proclaimed john napierof Merchiston References Hume Brown, P. “john napier of Merchiston”. http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~greg/calculators/napier/great.html

“Writing about the middle of the eighteenth century, David Hume proclaimed John Napier of Merchiston as the ‘person to whom the title of a great man is more justly due than to any other whom his country ever produced’.” When Hume awarded the first place among his countrymen to Napier, it was doubtless from an enlightened conviction that his work had been of great service to humanity. John Napier has gone down in history as the Scottish mathematician who invented logarithms (1614) and ‘Napier’s bones’, an early mechanical calculating device for multiplication and division. There is a lot, however, about the works and life of John Napier that has been obscured by the passage of time, and when it is revealed it will shed light on the intriguing personality of the man who passed among his contemporaries as a trafficker with Satan. A Man Ahead Of His Time Family History Sir Archibald Napier, the father of John, fully maintained his ancestors reputation for energy and sagacity. In his day, he also held an important public office: he was a Justice-Depute under the Earl of Argyll and for more than thirty years he was Master of the Mint. It should be stressed that Sir Archibald identified himself with Protestantism from the first, but apparently his zeal was not such as to satisfy either religious party in the country. However, his Protestant religious inclination was to have a decisive impact on the career of his son. Sir Archibald was twice married: he had three children by his first wife, Janet Bothwell, of which the eldest was John and ten by his second wife.

Napier, John El escocés Napier estudió matemática sólo como un hobby. En el año 1614 publicó una descripción de como multiplicar y dividir con la ayuda de los logaritmos. También fue él quién asignó la palabra logaritmo. Independientemente de Napier pero algo después el Suizo Burgi trabajó con una tabla para la multiplicación de logaritmos. Ni Napier ni Burgi tuvieron una base especial para sus sistemas de logaritmos. Fue el Inglés Henry Briggs, un amigo de Napier, quién comenzó a usar los logaritmos en base 10. Es por esto que llamamos logaritmos de base 10 a los logaritmos.

Napier, John Skotský matematik, studoval na univerzitì Sv. Ondøeje ale nejsou záznamy o tom, kde a zda vùbec studium dokonèil. Kromì matematiky se zajímal také o literaturu a teologii. Nejznámìjší jsou však jeho práce z oboru logaritmù. Objevil exponenciální výrazy pro trigonometrické funkce a zavedl desetinné vyjádøení pro zlomky. Napierovy logaritmy však nebyly to, co používáme jako logaritmy dnes. Napier totiž nedošel k logaritmùm algebraickou cestou, nebo algebra byla v jeho dobì teprve v zaèátcích, nýbrž se inspiroval dynamikou. Nejvìtší obtíže Napierova logaritmu, totiž že logaritmus z jedné není roven nule, se podaøilo vyøešit spolu s Henrym Briggsem, anglickým matematikem. Nìkdy po roce 1615 tak vznikly tabulky logaritmù o základu 10, takové, jaké používáme dnes. Astrofyzika Galerie Sondy Úkazy ... Odkazy

Napier Bones "John Napier, the inventor of logarithms, also invented this aid to calculation known as 'Napier's Bones' in 1617. The 'bones' consist of a set of rectangular rods, each marked with a counting number at the top, and the multiples of that number down their lengths. When aligned against the row of multiples as shown, any multiple of the top number can be read off from right to left by adding the digits in each parallelogram in the appropriate row. Multiplication is thus reduced to addition." National Museum of Sciences, London, "Computing Then and Now." Picture: David Bauman X-Number World
