Abstract

In this paper the details were given of the computations made for extending the Table of Seven-Place Logarithms to 200,000 and of the precautions taken to ensure accuracy in the printed work.

The calculations were originally intended for a Nine-Place Table to One Million; and the manuscript shows the logarithms to fifteen places, with their first and second differences for all numbers from 100,000 to 200,000.
