Sinopsis

Excerpt from Logarithmic and Other Mathematical Tables

The number of places of decimals to be used in any computation, will depend upon character of the data employed and also upon the degree of accuracy required in the results. Where the data are given with great precision and the results to be derived from them, are required with extreme accuracy, tables to seven and in rare cases even to ten or more places of decimals must be used. But for nearly all ordi nary calculations such precision is not required, and the accuracy of the results obtained by the use of logarithms to five places of decimals, is amply sufficient. The use of this number affords results which are usually correct to one ten-thousandth part. In calculations where this degree of accuracy is not required, a smaller num ber of places of decimals should be used. In such cases it is frequently more convenient to use natural numbers and the natural trigonometric functions instead of their logarithms.
