published in 1614; Burgi’s logarithms were published in 1620. The objective of both men was to simplify mathematical calculations. Napier’s approach was algebraic and Burgi’s approach was geometric. Neither man had a concept of a logarithmic base. Napier defined logarithms as a ratio of two distances in a geometric form‚ as opposed to the current definition of logarithms as exponents. The possibility of defining logarithms as exponents was recognized by John Wallis in 1685 and by Johann Bernoulli in

BKM CHAPTER 5 1. The Fisher equation tells us that the real interest rate approximately equals the nominal rate minus the inflation rate. Suppose the (expected or realized) inflation rate increases from 3% to 5%. Does the Fisher equation imply that this increase will result in a fall in the real rate of interest? Explain. The Fisher equation relates nominal rates required by investors to real rates required by investors and inflation. You can think about this from two perspectives: i. Ex-ante
