Stand-up Maths

Get your calculating christmas card! Support me on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/standupmaths All Patreon supporters will be emailed a personalised card (deadline end of December, but sign up sooner for an earlier email) and "statistically significant" or higher get posted a physical signed card (deadline end of December but sign up by end of November to get it before christmas). Check out Mark Dominus's great blog. Link to follow-on post at end of this one. https://blog.plover.com/math/irish-logarithm.html Here is the sign-up to volunteer for Pi By Hand 2024. https://forms.gle/CVocrwomCe1Q4iuX6 Paper on other method to get Ludgates's values: https://treasures.scss.tcd.ie/miscellany/TCD-SCSS-X.20121208.002/Ludgate-LogarithmixIndexes-20200610-1459.pdf All of the numbers I found are below. So many numbers. Presented three different ways, which is really unhelpful. Huge thanks to my Patreon supporters. They put the teeth on my cogs. https://www.patreon.com/standupmaths CORRECTIONS - Yes, the invention of logs in 1614 is 410 years ago, not 400.
