      lo`gos word, account, proportion + 'ariqmo`s number: cf. F.
      logarithme.] (Math.)
      One of a class of auxiliary numbers, devised by John Napier,
      of Merchiston, Scotland (1550-1617), to abridge arithmetical
      calculations, by the use of addition and subtraction in place
      of multiplication and division.
  
      Note: The relation of logarithms to common numbers is that of
               numbers in an arithmetical series to corresponding
               numbers in a geometrical series, so that sums and
               differences of the former indicate respectively
               products and quotients of the latter; thus, 0 1 2 3 4
               Indices or logarithms 1 10 100 1000 10,000 Numbers in
               geometrical progression Hence, the logarithm of any
               given number is the exponent of a power to which
               another given invariable number, called the base, must
               be raised in order to produce that given number. Thus,
               let 10 be the base, then 2 is the logarithm of 100,
               because 10^{2} = 100, and 3 is the logarithm of 1,000,
               because 10^{3} = 1,000.
  
      {Arithmetical complement of a logarithm}, the difference
            between a logarithm and the number ten.
  
      {Binary logarithms}. See under {Binary}.
  
      {Common logarithms}, or {Brigg's logarithms}, logarithms of
            which the base is 10; -- so called from Henry Briggs, who
            invented them.
  
      {Gauss's logarithms}, tables of logarithms constructed for
            facilitating the operation of finding the logarithm of the
            sum of difference of two quantities from the logarithms of
            the quantities, one entry of those tables and two
            additions or subtractions answering the purpose of three
            entries of the common tables and one addition or
            subtraction. They were suggested by the celebrated German
            mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss (died in 1855), and are
            of great service in many astronomical computations.

            were, in the Middle Ages, these seven branches of
            learning, -- grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic,
            geometry, music, and astronomy. In modern times the
            liberal arts include the sciences, philosophy, history,
            etc., which compose the course of academical or collegiate
            education. Hence, degrees in the arts; master and bachelor
            of arts.
  
                     In America, literature and the elegant arts must
                     grow up side by side with the coarser plants of
                     daily necessity.                                 --Irving.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Arithmetic and Logic Unit
  
      (ALU or "mill") The part of the {central
      processing unit} which performs operations such as addition,
      subtraction and multiplication of integers and {bit-wise}
      {AND}, {OR}, {NOT}, {XOR} and other {Boolean} operations.   The
      CPU's instruction decode logic determines which particular
      operation the ALU should perform, the source of the {operands}
      and the destination of the result.
  
      The width in {bit}s of the words which the ALU handles is
      usually the same as that quoted for the processor as a whole
      whereas its external busses may be narrower.   {Floating-point}
      operations are usually done by a separate "{floating-point
      unit}".   Some processors use the ALU for address calculations
      (e.g. incrementing the {program counter}), others have
      separate logic for this.
