SEMRA ÖZAL THE HISTORY OF LOGARITHMS John Napier is a Scottish mathematician who lived from 1550 to 1617. He worked more than twenty years to improve his theory and tables of what he called logarithms. Napier called the theory logarithms‚ because he thought of them as “reckoning numbers”‚ namely to calculate an amount(Caulfield 2010). “The word he derived from two Greek roots: logos meaning word‚ or study‚ or reasoning‚ or in Napier’s use “reckoning”

trigonometric functions‚ and exponents? This ability is due in large part to the Taylor series‚ which has allowed mathematicians (and calculators) to approximate functions‚such as those given above‚ with polynomials. These polynomials‚ called Taylor Polynomials‚ are easy for a calculator manipulate because the calculator uses only the four basic arithmetic operators. So how do mathematicians take a function and turn it into a polynomial function? Lets find out. First‚ lets assume that we have a function
