62. Overview Of Sir John Napier
    Gazetteer for Scotland Definitive description of Sir john napier (1550 1617)  
    http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/people/famousfirst47.html
    
    Extractions: Mathematician, inventor and astronomer. Born at Merchiston Castle (Edinburgh) into a wealthy family, Napier was the eldest son of Sir Archibald Napier (1534 - 1608). He was educated at St. Salvator's College, St. Andrews and became a staunch Calvinist. He devised "Napier's Rods" or "Napier's Bones" which permitted easy multiplication by addition. This led to his best remembered work: the concept of logarithms, which he described in Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio (1614). He also invented the decimal point and a hydraulic screw pump to remove water from coal mines. Napier also proposed a number of new weapons, including a device based on mirrors to set fire to enemy ships by focussing a high-intensity light beam, an armoured wagon and a submarine. He also experimented in agricultural improvement on his estates. His son to his first wife, Elizabeth, became the first Lord Napier. In 1572, he married Agnes Chisholm and they settled on his family estate at Gartness, near Killearn (Stirling). Napier was buried at St. Cuthbert's Church in Edinburgh.

    Extractions: “Writing about the middle of the eighteenth century, David Hume proclaimed John Napier of Merchiston as the ‘person to whom the title of a great man is more justly due than to any other whom his country ever produced’.” When Hume awarded the first place among his countrymen to Napier, it was doubtless from an enlightened conviction that his work had been of great service to humanity. John Napier has gone down in history as the Scottish mathematician who invented logarithms (1614) and ‘Napier’s bones’, an early mechanical calculating device for multiplication and division. There is a lot, however, about the works and life of John Napier that has been obscured by the passage of time, and when it is revealed it will shed light on the intriguing personality of the man who passed among his contemporaries as a trafficker with Satan. A Man Ahead Of His Time Sir Archibald Napier, the father of John, fully maintained his ancestors reputation for energy and sagacity. In his day, he also held an important public office: he was a Justice-Depute under the Earl of Argyll and for more than thirty years he was Master of the Mint. It should be stressed that Sir Archibald identified himself with Protestantism from the first, but apparently his zeal was not such as to satisfy either religious party in the country. However, his Protestant religious inclination was to have a decisive impact on the career of his son. Sir Archibald was twice married: he had three children by his first wife, Janet Bothwell, of which the eldest was John and ten by his second wife.

    Extractions: Copy of a Victorian representation found on the exterior of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh. Plaster. Height 105cm, maximun width 40cm. John Napier began his formal education at St Salvator's College in St Andrews in 1563 while Scotland was under the rule of the Catholic Mary Queen of Scots. Her arrival from France two years previously had exacerbated political and religious divisions in the country. John Napier, growing up in a Protestant family, would have been well aware of the theological conflicts of the day. He is thought to have spent only a year at St Andrews but throughout his life his aim was the advancement of the Calvinist cause against the `blindnesse of papists.' A Plaine Discovery of the Revelation of St John , published in 1593, was the result of the application of mathematical principles to the numbers scattered throughout the text of the Book of Revelations. Napier claimed to reveal its hidden meanings, including the exact year of the Apocalypse and the conclusion that the Pope was the antichrist. This work established him as a respected theologian throughout Protestant Europe and he considered it to be his greatest achievement. Safe in the knowledge that the world did not end in 1786, as he predicted, Napier is now more commonly remembered for the mathematical work he carried out later in his life.

Luego viajó por toda Europa, principalmente a Francia y Holanda donde continuó sus estudios e investigaciones entre 1566 y 1571 en la Universidad St. Andrés. En 1571, retornó a Escocia y recorrió todos sus estados como un devoto religioso tomando parte en las controversias religiosas de ese tiempo. Fue un ferviente protestante y publicó lo que él consideró como su más importante trabajo, el Plaine Discovery of the Whole Revelation of St. John Napier estudió matemática sólo como un hobby. En el año 1614 publicó una descripción de como multiplicar y dividir con la ayuda de los logaritmos. También fue él quién asignó la palabra logaritmo, que es una palabra Griega compuesta por logos que significa relación y arithmos que significa número. Independientemente de Napier pero algo después el Suizo Burgi trabajó con una tabla para la multiplicación de logaritmos. Ni Napier ni Burgi tuvieron una base especial para sus sistemas de logaritmos.

    Extractions: John Napier and Napier's Bones In the early 1600s, a Scottish mathematician called John Napier invented a tool called Napier's Bones, which were multiplication tables inscribed on strips of wood or bone. Napier, who was the Laird of Merchiston, also invented logarithms, which greatly assisted in arithmetic calculations. In 1621, an English mathematician and clergyman called William Oughtred used Napier's logarithms as the basis for the slide rule (Oughtred invented both the standard rectilinear slide rule and the less commonly used circular slide rule). However, although the slide rule was an exceptionally effective tool that remained in common use for over three hundred years, like the abacus it also does not qualify as a mechanical calculator. a See also: Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical calculator Wilhelm Schickard's mechanical calculator Blaise Pascal's Arithmetic Machine Gottfried von Libniz's Step Reckoner ...
