Book Overview

Exact values in an instant. A New Table Of Seven-Place Logarithms Of All Numbers From 20,000 To 200,000 by Edward Sang offers a rigorous, usable mathematical reference book drawn from nineteenth-century mathematics and presented with the kind of care that satisfies both practical users and bibliophiles. The seven-place logarithm tables at its heart are a carefully tabulated, high-precision aid for hand computation: ready reference for long calculations and a useful companion when electronic tools are unavailable or undesirable. Its tone is concise and unadorned, the utility plain on every page, and its presence in a study or library signals an appetite for method and exactitude. This logarithmic calculations resource functions as more than an historical curiosity. As a scientific computation aid it lightens the burden of multiplication, division and extraction of roots through organised, predictable tables; it has served as a mathematics students resource and an engineers and scientists tool in teaching, practice and archival research. The layout and consistency that characterise this vintage mathematics text encourage confidence in repeated use, and its place in any mathematical tables collection speaks to a sustained appetite for reliable numerical reference. Beyond immediate usefulness, the volume carries historical weight: a surviving exemplar of historical math tables and of Edward Sang's approach to precision. Casual readers intrigued by the mechanics of numerical thought discover a readable, tactile document; collectors of classic math reference and specialists in edward sang logarithms find documentary value and aesthetic pleasure alike. Logarithm tables of this calibre informed practical calculation across disciplines - from surveying and navigation to early electrical and mechanical engineering - and they illuminate the cognitive and practical habits of nineteenth-century practitioners. Librarians, historians of science and conservators find this edition valuable for study and display, while anyone assembling a mathematical tables collection gains a cornerstone volume. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
