What exactly were the steps, or the algorithm to find out the values of the logarithm, sine or cosine tables? Back then There were like 1000 values for each table, but if you did not have the table, was it really impossible to do these calculations? 186.146.10.154 (talk) 12:18, 2 February 2016 (UTC) (posted by SemanticMantis ( talk) 16:07, 2 February 2016 (UTC)) SemanticMantis ( talk) 16:15, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
Natural logarithm
of z where 0 < z < 2,
Common logarithm
Sine
where x is in radians (1 radian = 180/pi)
Cosine
