Napier, Inventor of Logarithms > 
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.
