Abstract
IN your issue of March 3 (p. 409) I read:—“The base of Bürgi's logarithms is nearly e, and that of Napier's nearly e1.” In the “Encyklopädie der Elementaren Algebra und Analysis,” by Heinrich Weber, Leipzig, 1903, p. 108, I read:—“Die Basis der Neperschen Logarithmen stimmt also sehr nahe mit der Zahl e überein.”
