Thesaurus Logarithmorum Completus

One of the main board works for technology and science was for a long time the Vega Bremiker, published by the Weidmannsche bookstore.

The underlying seven-figure logarithms were calculated in 1795 by the Slovenian mathematician and imperial officer Jurij Vega ( known by Georg Freiherr von Vega ) and set to about 1970, the most widely used in Europe logarithmic arithmetic means high accuracy dar. was only in the 1970s, it was the slow emerging electronic calculator gradually displaced.

Vega recognized the advantage of seven -digit plates is that they represent an ideal compromise between high calculation accuracy, and not too tedious interpolating between the table values. As the mathematician was familiar as a teacher and an engineer with the computing practice, he chose the panel interval (for the trigonometric functions 1 "or 10 " ) so that a high level of effectiveness, the result was - in the conflict between simple / cumbersome lookup and lengthy / fast interpolation.

In addition, the panel 's work was driven bookbinding made ​​in a very durable cover that sits well in the hand and eg in the study operating at technical colleges or in the practice of geodetic calculations ensured a years or even decades of usability. The large number of well-preserved copies in the bookshops is these qualities of the work.

The original title of the 1797 edition is Logarithmic - trigonometrical tables, among other decorated for the use of mathematics tables and formulas, and even appeared in two volumes. The most used editions 75-100 as "Vega- Bremiker " ( from 1856 and last several times between 1940 and about 1965 reprints ) combined both volumes in a single, but very solidly bound Tafelwerk of about 4 cm thick. The pressure on light, rough paper was an added advantage for the user.
