    Extractions: By Alphabet : Encyclopedia A-Z N Related Category: Mathematics, Biographies John Napier Mirifici logarithmorum canonis descriptio (1614), containing the first logarithmic table and the first use of the word logarithm. His Rabdologiae (1617) gives various methods for abbreviating arithmetical calculations. One method of multiplication uses a system of numbered rods called Napier's rods, or Napier's bones; this was a major improvement on the ancient system of counters then in use. In 1619, after Napier's death, his Mirifici logarithmorum canonis constructio, which gave the method of construction of his logarithms, was published by his son Robert and edited by Henry Briggs. Napier introduced the decimal point in writing numbers. Napier was also known as an outspoken exponent of the Protestant cause. His religious writings include A Plaine Discovery of the Whole Revelation (1593), the earliest Scottish interpretation of the scriptures.

88. Napier's Bones And The Genaille-Lucas Rulers
    In 1617, john napier published Rabdologia, a book that contained a napier,john, Rabdology, translated by William Frank Richardson, MIT Press, 1990.  
    http://infohost.nmt.edu/~borchers/napier/napier.html
    
    Extractions: In 1617, John Napier published Rabdologia , a book that contained a description of the rods that he had developed to aid in multiplication, division, and the extraction of square roots. Napier's bones have since become popular as a way of demonstrating multiplication to school students. One problem with Napier's rules is that the user is required to perform a number of additions and must keep track of the "carries" that occur during these additions. In the late 1800's, a frenchman named Henri Genaille invented an improved version of Napier's bones in response to a problem posed by Edouard Lucas. The Genaille-Lucas rulers allow for multiplication and division without the carries required by Napier's Bones. This web page presents Napier's Bones and the Genaille Lucas ruler in ready to print form.

    Extractions: Scottish mathematician and champion of Protestantism He divided his life between attacks on the church of Rome and the pursuit of numerical calculations. On a number of occasions he urged James IV of Scotland to deal firmly with the Catholic threat. From 1594 he worked on developing secret weapons, including a metal chariot with small holes through which shot could be fired. He developed the concept of the logarithm to facilitate calculations involving multiplication, division, roots, and powers. He also introduced the decimal point as a notation for decimal fraction s. The set of calculating rods he designed was a precursor to the slide rule.

    Extractions: Release No. 2261 / June 10, 2005 In partial settlement of the Commission's claims, without admitting or denying the allegations, Napier has consented to the entry of a partial final judgment, which resolves all issues of liability against him and defers the determination of disgorgement and penalties until a later date. As part of his settlement, Napier has agreed to cooperate fully with the Commission's continuing investigation of this matter. In connection with the same conduct, both Napier and Houldsworth have also entered guilty pleas to criminal charges filed by the U.S. Department of Justice, Fraud Section (DOJ) in a Virginia federal court. Under the respective plea agreements, each defendant has agreed to cooperate fully with DOJ's continuing investigation. The Commission's amended complaint charges Napier with aiding and abetting the violations by AIG and others of Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2) and 13(b)(5) and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-13 and 13b2-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Napier, in addition to undertaking to cooperate fully with the Commission, consented to the entry of a partial final judgment permanently enjoining him from future violations of the above-cited provisions, barring him from serving as an officer or director of a public company for five years following the entry of the partial final judgment against him and deferring the determination of civil penalties and disgorgement to a later date.

Background: J ohn Napier was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, into the Scottish nobility. Since his father was Sir Archibald Napier of Merchiston Castle, and his mother, Janet Bothwell, was the daughter of a member of Parliament, John Napier became the laird (property owner) of Merchiston. Napier's father was only 16 when his son, John, was born. As was the practice for members of nobility, Napier did not enter school until he was 13. He did not stay in school very long, however. It is believed that he dropped out and traveled in

    http://www.aldebaran.cz/famous/people/Napier_John.html
    
    Extractions: Napier, John Skotský matematik, studoval na univerzitì Sv. Ondøeje ale nejsou záznamy o tom, kde a zda vùbec studium dokonèil. Kromì matematiky se zajímal také o literaturu a teologii. Nejznámìjší jsou však jeho práce z oboru logaritmù. Objevil exponenciální výrazy pro trigonometrické funkce a zavedl desetinné vyjádøení pro zlomky. Napierovy logaritmy však nebyly to, co používáme jako logaritmy dnes. Napier totiž nedošel k logaritmùm algebraickou cestou, nebo algebra byla v jeho dobì teprve v zaèátcích, nýbrž se inspiroval dynamikou. Nejvìtší obtíže Napierova logaritmu, totiž že logaritmus z jedné není roven nule, se podaøilo vyøešit spolu s Henrym Briggsem, anglickým matematikem. Nìkdy po roce 1615 tak vznikly tabulky logaritmù o základu 10, takové, jaké používáme dnes.
