文艺复兴以来，新航路的开辟，促进了航海事业的大发展。人们对于精确天文历表的需求变得日益迫切。为此，天文学家除了进行更为丰富和精确的天文观测外，还必须完成大量的计算工作。纳皮尔引入质点运动的构想，建立了对数理论，实现了降级运算，开辟了大数计算的新纪元。对数理论诞生后，其思想的进一步发展，不仅丰富和完善了初等函数的研究领域，而且也成为沟通初等数学与高等数学领域的重要桥梁之一。

Since the Renaissance ,the opening of new sea routes ,accelerated the development of seafaring .The calendar for the accurate astronomical was in urgent need .Therefore ,apart from more abundant and accurate astronomical observa-tion ,astronomers must also complete a large amount of calculation .With the help of conception of particle motion ,Napier set up Logarithm Theory ,which makes demotion operation possible and this opens up the new epoch of large numbers cal-culation .When Logarithm Theory was born ,the further development of the thought ,not only to enrich and improve the research field of elementary mathematics ,but also become one of the important bridge between elementary mathematics and higer mathematics .
