...and the decimal part is sometimes called the MANTISSA. 7. The characteristic of the logarithm O/'ANY NUMBER GREATER THAN UNITY, is one less than the number, of integral figures in the given number. For it has been shown (Art. 3) that the logarithm of 1 is 0, of 10 is 1, of 100 is 2, of 1000 is 3,... | |
