FTP, who was this English mathematician, the inventor of logarithms?
This mathematician was the first to use decimal points to separate the whole and fractional parts of numbers, and he also made advances in scientific farming, especially by his use of salt as a fertilizer. In 1617's Rabdologiae he described a mechanical method for claculating products and quotients using labelled rods usually made with ivory or bone, and which consequently became known as his "bones", but he is better known for developing a way to simplify scientific calculations.
