Page 94 - ... is some number between — 2 and — 3 ; that is, — 3 plus a fraction ; and so on. 5. In the common system, as the logarithms of all numbers which are not ^exact powers of 10 are incommensurable with those numbers, their values can only be obtained approximately, and are expressed by decimals. 6. The integral part of any logarithm is called the CHARACTERISTIC, and the decimal part is sometimes called the MANTISSA.
