John Napier was a philosopher and a mathematician. He is the inventor of Logarithms and the inventor of the decimal point. He made one of the single greatest advances in the history of mathematicians. It is said "without Napier's work on logarithms it is difficult to imagine how Kepler and Newton could have made th

The fact that Nap.log 1 does not equal 0 was a major difficulty, which made them to be less convenient for calculations. A change to log 1=0 came up in a discussion between Napier and Briggs. They had a meeting and they suggested that logs should be base 10. Napier said that he had the same idea but he suggested that the new table should be constructed with base 10 and with log 1=0. Briggs began to construct the table as soon as they both agreed on it.
