Logarithms were invented by a Scottish nobleman named John Napier who lived from (1550-1617). They are now used in many business applications. Back when first invented they were used as a labor saving method do to mathematics. They are also one of the only ways to find the cubed route of a number without a calculator.

I sense a tweak here. Answer 2 provides only two dimensions and quotes an unfindable site (alldimesions.org; also can't find alldimensions.org (re-spelled) or all-dimensions.org (hyphenated)). Nor any reference to a log foot or log-foot, except in a web site that sells log foot-bridges (ref.).\nGoogle "lumber log foot" and you will find plenty of references to estimating the board-feet in a given sized log, but no log foot. By a secret and powerful process of induction, I therefore conclude that a log foot is 12 cubits by 8 furlongs by 3 angstrom units.

hi there, i have a great webpage for you.\n\nthis guy built a "periodic table table" - a big table in his garage made out of wood, and a storage space underneath each element in the table that can be opened up.  inside the box he has stored various samples of that element.  all of this information is online, and includes pictures and information including the price he paid for each one.  it's great.\n\nhere's the site:\nhttp://theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/\n\nscroll down a bit and click somewhere on the wooden table to see what he has for that element.\n\nEDIT:  i guess i should add, a lot of his samples are listed as "donated" but usually include a link to whatever supplier donated them, and i think you could probably follow the link to find out the cost. \n\nmore info here: \nhttp://theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/HowToGetOne.html\n\ncheers!

Blaise Pascal? He invented the calculator. Maybe Isaac Newton, the inventor of calculus, or Charles Babbage, the inventor of the computer. Perhaps John Napier, who discovered how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and even extract square roots simply by moving pieces on a chessboard? Tell you what, pick René Descartes, he's the inventor of coordinate geometry. These are all excellent choices!
