Anders als die heutigen Logarithmen waren Napier's Logarithmen nicht zu einer bestimmten Basis, obwohl man angenähert von einer Basis 1/e ausgehen kann.

    http://www.ualr.edu/~lasmoller/napier.html
    
    Extractions: Did you know . . .? Long before the calculator, logarithms were great mathematical labor-saving devices! Although there is evidence that logarithms were known in 8th century India, their invention as an aid to calculation is attributed to a Scottish nobleman named John Napier (1550-1617) in his Mirifici logarithmorum canonis descriptio (1614) and Mirifici logarithmorum canonis constructio (published posthumously in 1619). In collaboration with Oxford professor Henry Briggs, Napier refined his logarithms by constructing tables for logarithms in base 10. Napier is also credited with creating one of the earliest calculating machines ( "Napier's bones" ) and with the first systematic use of the decimal point Not a bad mathematical pedigree for a man who never finished university and who considered his most important work to be his Plaine Discovery of the Whole Revelation of St. John John Napier. (Source: http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/history/PictDisplay/Napier.html Napier lived during an age of great innovation in the world of astronomy. Copernicus had published his theory of the solar system in 1543, and many astronomers were eagerly involved in calculating and re-calculating planetary positions based in the wake of Copernicus's ideas. Their calculations took up pages and pages and hours and hours of work.
