Napier, John (1550 Scotsman John Napier went to St. Salvator’s College in St. Andrews, where he studied from mathematician John Rutherford. In sixteenth-century Scotland, intellectual interests centered on religion, theology, and politics rather than on science and mathematics, and Napier’s first work reflected that climate. Napier was a fervent Protestant and a landowner of a large estate and farm. There is evidence that Napier began working on the idea of logarithms about 1590. His important mathematical work culminated in the publication of two Latin treatises. In the Constructio, the phrase artificial number s is used by Napier instead of logarithms The word logarithm was adopted later. Today Napier is best known as the inventor of logarithms, but until recently we knew very little about their invention. Today we realize that in the late 1500s, Napier invented a computational tool called the logarithm that simplified arithmetic by replacing multiplication by addition. The equation that accomplished this was simply ln (ax) = ln a + ln x To multiply two positive numbers a and x , you looked up their logarithms in a table, added the logarithms, found the sum in the table, and read the table backward to find the product ax Having such a table was the key, and Napier spent the last 20 years of his life working on a table that he never finished (while astronomer

John Napier John Napier, who was born in Edinburgh and died there on 4 April 1617, is of course famous as the mathematician who first discovered the theory of logarithms, once the delight of schoolchildren everywhere, but now sadly abolished to advanced classes since the advent of the electronic calculator. This great Scot, a reclusive inventor who developed bulletproof clothing in addition to the ivory ÒbonesÓ with which he performed his logarithmic calculations, and who was said to keep a black cockerel as his familiar, can also be called a poet thanks to a single surviving work: ÒA Plaine Discovery of the Whole Revelation of St. JohnÓ (1593). Those who have seen it conclude that in devoting himself to mathematics Napier made the right career choice.

24. JOHN NAPIER napier, john (15501617), Scottish mathematician and inventor of logarithms, wasborn at Merchiston near Edinburgh in 1550, and was the eighth napier of http://5.1911encyclopedia.org/N/NA/NAPIER_JOHN.htm

JOHN NAPIER NAPIER, JOHN Chishoirn of Cromlix, who survived him. By her he had five sons and five daughters. In 1588 he was chosen by the presbytery of Edinburgh one of its commissioners to the General Assembly. The full title of this first work of Napiers is given below.1 It was written in English instead of Latin in order that hereby the simple of this Iland may be instructed ; and the author apologizes for the language and his own mode of expression in the following sentences: Whatsoever therfore through hast, is here rudely and in base language set downe, I doubt not to be pardoned thereof by ~ll good men, who, considering the necessitie of this time, will esteem it more meete to make hast to prevent the rising againe of Antichristian darknes within this Iland, then to prolong the time in painting of language ; and I graunt indeede, and am sure, that in the style of wordes and utterance of language, we shall greatlie differ, for therein I do judge my selfe inferiour to all men: so that scarcely in these high matters could I with long deliberation finde wordes to expresse my minde.2 Napiers Plains Discovery is a serious and laborious work, to which he had devoted years of care and thought. In one sense ~t may be said to stand tc theological literature in Scotland in something of the same position as that occupied by the Canon Mirificus with respect to the scientific literature, for it is the first published original work relating to theological interpretation, and is quite without a predecessor in its own field. Napier lived in the very midst of fiercely contending religious factions; there was but little theological teaching of any kind, and the work related to what were then the leading political and religious questions of the day.

Home Geschichte Mathematiker Zitate ... Suche John Napier 1550 - 1617, Edinburgh, Schottland John Napier (auch: Neper) wurde als Erfinder der Logarithmen bekannt. Er veröffentlichte im Jahre 1614 seine Logarithmen unter dem Titel "Mirifici logarithmorum canonis descriptio". Anders als die heutigen Logarithmen waren Napier's Logarithmen nicht zu einer bestimmten Basis, obwohl man angenähert von einer Basis 1/e ausgehen kann. Sie betreffen nämlich noch eine Konstante 10 , die von der Konstruktion gemäss Neper stammt: Napier dachte nicht an Logarithmen im algebraischen Sinn; in der Tat war Algebra zu dieser Zeit noch zu wenig entwickelt. Er überlegte in folgender dynamischer Weise: Gegeben seien eine Strecke AB und eine Halbgerade (A' X) . Die Punkte C und C' starten nun in A bzw. A' und bewegen sich mit der gleichen Anfangsgeschwindigkeit nach rechts. C' hat konstante Geschwindigkeit; C hat Geschwindigkeit, die jederzeit gleich der Masszahl der Distanz von CB ist. Napier definierte y:= A'C' als den Logarithmus von x: = CB, d.h. y = Nap.log x und wählte die Länge von AB als 10 Es würden also in der heutigen Schreibweise die Gleichungen gelten: y = 10 -t ) (Zeit t) bzw. y = -10

Welcome to ElectricScotland.com Clans Tartans History Travel ... Feedback Significant Scots John Napier By Jeremy Hodges in the Daily Mail, July 8, 2000 Yet most Scots know little or nothing about the 16th-century mathematician, philosopher and inventor who, from his secluded tower in Scotland, produced the vital tool needed by mankind to explore the globe and fathom the universe. Without Napier's invention of logarithms and the decimal notation for complex fractions, the discoveries of others such as Galileo, Kepler and Newton would have been hindered by years of long and complex calculations. For centuries his reputation remained almost as obscure as the location of his unmarked grave somewhere in the capital. But his name now lives on at Napier University in Edinburgh, this year celebrating the 450th anniversary of his birth in 1550. Last month an honorary degree was conferred on Brigadier General John Hawkins Napier II, who travelled from his American home to receive the honour bestowed upon him thanks to his illustrious ancestor. Best known in his lifetime as author of a Protestant theological work that probed the prophecies of the Apocalypse to prove the Pope was the Antichrist, Napier was far from the modern idea of a mathematician - he was a late-Renaissance man whose powers of lateral thinking took in everything from agricultural improvement to devising engines of war.

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.
