中文简介:
这门免费课程着眼于苏格兰人约翰·纳皮尔(1550-1617)及其从根本上改变了数学课程的发明。纳皮尔在数学领域涉猎了40多年,在他生命即将结束时,他推出了对数表,大大减少了进行复杂计算所需的工作量,例如天文学和航海所需的工作。纳皮尔的“优秀简短规则”很快被采纳并得到改进。
课程简介: This free course looks at Scotsman John Napier (1550-1617) and his invention which radically altered the course of mathematics. Napier dabbled in mathematics for over 40 years and near the end of his life he introduced his tables of logarithms which drastically reduced the work needed to do complicated calculations, such as those required in astronomy and navigation. Napier’s ‘excellent brief rules’ were quickly adopted and improved upon.
