Quandaries
and Queries
Dear MathCentral,
Where did the word logarithmic come from? Where/whom did it originate?
Hi,
Threr is a teacher named Jeff Miller at Gulf High School in New Port Richey, Florida who maintains a web Site named Earliest Known Uses of Some of the Words of Mathematics. If you go to his site and look for logarithm under L you will find an answer to your question.
