Logarithm Briggsian

The complete rate equation (E) reduces to the following approximation on substituting, simplifying, and returning to Briggsian logarithms ... 

Values taken from Hammett,40 b Velocity constants, k, expressed in minutes and Briggsian logarithms. 

If 6 denote the temperature of the body after the interval of time tx — t2 and 2 = 19 9, Bx = 6, remembering that in practical work Briggsian logarithms are used, we obtain, from (10), the expression... 

Systems of Logarithms. There are two common systems of logarithms in use (1) the natural (Napierian or hyperbolic) system which uses the base e = 2.71828. . . (2) the common (Briggsian) system which uses the base 10. 

Napierian (natural) logarithm of pi, base e Briggsian (common logarithm of pi, base 10... 

The system of logarithms whose base is 10 (called the common or Briggsian system) had been widely used for making numerical computations (multiplication and division) before the advent of electronic calculators and computers. The techniques will be presented later in this appendix and numerical tables are provided in Appendix D. Students who have calculators will not need these techniques but should learn them for the sake of improving their understanding of logarithms and as a backup method of calculation. 

Logarithms to the base e = 2 71828 are called natural, hyperbolic, or Napierian logarithms. Logarithms to the base 10 are called Briggsian, or common logarithms. 

The number 0 4343 is called the modulus of the Briggsian or common system of logarithms. When required it is written M or ft. It is sufficient to remember that the natural logarithm of a number is 2 3026 times greater than the common logarithm. 

Logarithms to the base 10 are called Briggsian or common logarithms. Before the advent of handheld scientific calculators, these were an invaluable aid to numerical computation. Section 2.6 on Powers of 10 was actually a tour on the logjo scale. Logarithmic scales give more convenient numerical values in many scientific applications. For example, in chemistry, the hydrogen ion concentration (technically, the activity) of a solution is represented as...
