Sobre IBD

A vintage scientific compendium reborn. Exact logarithmic tables for rigorous calculation, then and now. Part of the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections (Volume 118), this specialist volume provides mathematical reference tables, gathering authoritative scientific logarithmic tables to base e and base 10, laid out for direct consultation and interpolation. More than a historical curiosity, it is a practical numerical computation resource: clear tabulations of base e logarithms sit alongside base 10 logarithms, making the volume a reliable academic mathematics reference and an advanced math study aid for students and researchers who require precise figures without modern software. Its tabular ordering supports manual interpolation and quick consultation, offering a tactile complement to contemporary computational tools and a chance to see the arithmetic scaffolding beneath algorithmic outputs. The terse, machine-like clarity of the tables exposes the calculation culture of early 20th century science, rendering the work both a tool and a record.As a Smithsonian Institution publication originally issued during the early 20th century, this volume belongs to a broader historical mathematics collection that traces the evolution of numerical technique. Scholars of computation and historians will appreciate its primary-source value; casual readers curious about the material culture of calculation will find it unexpectedly compelling and accessible. Collectors of classic literature and vintage scientific compendia will recognise its archival worth, while libraries and academic departments may prize it as a bridge between past practice and present study. For readers building a reference shelf, the volume represents a direct line to the methods that shaped modern numerical reasoning. It complements modern teaching by showing how practitioners handled approximation and error before electronic calculators, a practical demonstration valuable to coursework, independent study and archival research.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.

    Historically, the notion of entropy emerged in conceptually very distinct contexts. This book deals with the connection between entropy, probability, and fractional dynamics as they appeared, for example, in solar neutrino astrophysics since the 1970's (Mathai and Rathie 1975, Mathai and Pederzoli 1977, Mathai and Saxena 1978, Mathai, Saxena, and Haubold 2010).The original ...
