Logarithms of numbers and trigonometric functions

The common logarithm is the logarithm with base 10. The fractional part of the logarithm of $ x$, is known as the mantissa of the common logarithm of $ x$. For example, if $ x=120$ then

$\displaystyle \log_{10}120=\log_{10}(10^2\times 1.2)=2+\log_{10}1.2\approx2+0.079181.
$

so the very last number ( $ 0.079181...$) is the mantissa. In the table below, this is give simply as $ 0792$.

The table of logarithms of the trigonometric functions (given in Granville's original text) is omitted as they can be computed using a hand calculator or SAGE.
