[QUOTE="nobby, post: 14404, member: 257"] The Scot Napier started Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio in 1614, but was corrected by Yorkshire-man Henry Briggs in 1617 with Logarithmorum Chilias Prima and with Arithmetica Logarithmica in 1624. Briggs was not able to finish his work, so he handed the stick to Dutchman Ezechiel the Decker from Gouda, who finished the task with help from Adriaen Vlacq between 1626 and 1628. In 1631 Trigonometria Britannica was published. This is considered as the first system which worked! If you think of 'Vincent HRD' where 'log' was mentioned and you add 378 years to all above years you can see that developing logarithms took as long and as many nationalities as getting my Comet running troublefree!
