Log Tables

lostmyway

While I have a good idea how log tables work, I'm still in the dark as to how they are compiled.

I gather some bloke name 'Napier' originally invented them but what method did he use?

Any mathematicians' contributions would be appreciated.

    I rather hope it does make sense: I'm hoping I'll be awake enough tomorrow to snag my concentration while it's running past in a frenzy.  But right now my brain just thinks "..." because "ooh food" is about as much of an intellectual grasp as I currently possess.
