Page 84 - Napier's system. 427. The logarithm of a number in any system is equal to the modulus of that system multiplied by the Naperian logarithm of the number. If we designate Naperian logarithms by Nap. log., and logarithms in any other system by log., then, since the modulus of Napier's system is unity, we have log.

Page 82 - The logarithms of the same number in different systems are to each other as the moduli of those systems. This is evident from the general logarithmic series. Thus the logarithm of 1 + x in a system whose modulus is m...

To determine in what manner to divide a quantity, a, into two parts, in such a manner that the product of these parts shall be the greatest possible. Let x be one of the parts, the other will be a — x, and the product will be ax — x2.
Page 64 - If also (pf'(x') = \[/'(x) for the same value of x, the equation for h has three roots zero and the curves cut in three ultimately coincident points at P. There are now two contiguous tangents common, and the contact is said to be of the second order; and so on. Similarly for curves given by their polar equations, if...
