Im frühen 17. Jahrhundert entwickelten Jost Bürgi und John Napier Logarithmentafeln - ein damals äu erst mühsames Unterfangen, das Zehntausende von Rechenschritten erforderte. Einmal erstellt, reduzierten die Tafeln den Rechenaufwand für Multiplikation und Division um eine Grö enordnung. In der Tat lösten die Tafeln eine Revolution im Rechnen aus. Jost Bürgi hinterlie keine detaillierten Aufzeichnungen über seine Arbeit. Nur wenige Kopien seiner Tafel und knappe Anweisungen zu ihrer Verwendung sind erhalten geblieben. Dieses Buch rekonstruiert Bürgis Gedankengänge, schaut ihm gleichsam über die Schulter, wie er seine Tafel und die Regeln für ihre Benutzung entwickelt. Danach erzählt es die Geschichte von John Napiers Arbeit, und wie Henry Briggs Napiers Idee abänderte und so die moderne Logarithmentafel schuf. Der letzte Teil des Buches widmet sich der Frage Wer hat nun eigentlich den Logarithmus erfunden, Bürgi oder Napier? Napier prägte den Begriff Logarithmus. Bürgis etwas früher entwickelte Tafel war jedoch ebenso effektiv wie die von Napier. Der Schluss ist, dass Bürgi und Napier Co-Erfinder des Logarithmus sind. This book is also available in English: The Daring Invention of Logarithm Tables.
