...logarithm of that root ; the index or logarithm of 64 (in the first series) is 6, if divided by 2 = 3, which is the logarithm of 8 or the square root of 64."* The logarithms most convenient for use are such as are adapted to the geometrical series, increasing in a tenfold proportion, as in the... | |

...or the square of 16. Again : if the logarithm of any number be divided by the index of its root, the quotient will be equal to the logarithm of that root : thus, the index or logarithm of 256 is 8 ; now, 8 divided by 2 gives 4, which is the logarithm of 16, or the square root of 256, according... | |

Thus, the index or logarithm of 4, in the above series, is 2 ; and if this number be multiplied by 3, the product will be = 6 ; which is the logarithm of 64, or the third power of 4. And, if the logarithm of any number be divided by the index of its root,...
