Last Omit Titles and Degrees][Institutional Affiliation(s)]Author Note [Include any grant/funding information and a complete correspondence address.] History of LogarithmsLogarithms have been in existence for a long period of human history. Logarithms are a vital part of mathematics helping mathematicians physicists and engineers in their work making calculations simpler and friendlier. Logarithms have taken different forms and angles that over time made it evolve into the practice that it is today. Logarithms started off as a method of multiplying and dividing large number and with time grown to become the inverse of calculating distance between planets among other things.Henry Briggs followed Napiers lead and was the first person to employ finite-difference methods to develop a table of functions.
