Nothing about Alfons Anton De Sarasa? How come both Gregory and Anton died in the exact same year?
Gregorius a Sancto Vincentio edit
The name "Gregorius a Sancto Vincentio" is frequently used in publications dedicated to research in the history of mathematics, such as Historia Mathematica. It should be perhaps included in this article, so that it be easier to find. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.87.168.93 (talk) 23:33, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
History of logarithms edit
The development of the logarithm concept was a giant leap in functional awareness and absolutely necessary to complete the repertoire of real variable functions. The role of G.deS-V in this regard is a historical fact. Recently the article "History of logarithms" was started from the "Logarithm#History" material, and some common sources for this key chapter in the flourishing of mathematics. Associated is the page Talk:History of logarithms where dialogue can assist the improvement of the article. For instance, the following was removed from G.de S-V's article here:
- (whose name and series representation were discovered by Nicholas Mercator, but was only later recognized as a log of base e).
The parenthetical statement was inserted after mention of natural logarithm. Any such issue now can be discussed as mentioned. — Rgdboer (talk) 01:33, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
